For this I am going to take inspiration from the research that I have carried out from Film Noir, Neo-Noir, Femme Fatale’s as well as take inspiration from various artists works including Claude Cahun, Barbara Kruger and Cindy Sherman. I think that this will interesting to do and I am also doing to incorporate some more documentary style images with real people on the streets of Jersey along with some mini interviews that I will ask them. I have a lot of ideas for this project and think that I will be able to produce a lot of work with this project. I have created some mood boards and brainstormed some new ideas into what I want to specifically focus in on with my individual study.

Performance photography is a radical and unusual way to photograph. It is more of an art form and in some ways comes across as a political movement to try and challenge authority and the way we as a society think. Performance photography can tell a simple story in the way it is presented but a lot of the time these performances have deeper meaning. This style of photography is usually done outside where it can be viewed by the public. It is an act whereby the spectator will be whoever happens to be present when the performer decides to perform.
To me performance photography isn’t just doing something to entertain a large audience. It is doing something in the public eye but without drawing attention to yourself by calling people over but by just doing your performance and seeing how much of a gathering you manage to create and how interested people are in what you are trying to do. I think that we often need to find ways to challenge the way that society thinks and we need to push the boundaries of what is acceptable in our community too.
