The idea that appeals to me the most is looking at my personal environments. A personal environment could be very different from one person to another. For example, someone may think it is your mental state, whereas others may think it

Using mainly documentary photography and portraiture I want to explore the differences between peoples ‘Personal Environment’, as exploring some of my own personal environments.

I D E A S –

• Shoot documenting girlfriend // photographing in a more intimate way to portray the environment of our relationship, using close ups and possibly shoot in monochrome – inspired more by Jacob Sobol.
• 
• Documentary shoot of my home // focus on what makes my home my personal environment – feels safe, the personal elements of it.
• Abstract shoot in car // I am always travelling around in my car with friends, so I could portray this environment in a more motion-full way experimenting with low shutter speeds, flash and zoom.

• Friends // portraying my social environment made up by connections between people – theo gosselin style photography  – could also look at the social environment of skateboarding, and photography in both the style of tradiotional skatboard documentation as well as more modern cinematic skateboard documenting styles – looking at the sport and culture around it itself.

– this video above gives some information on the uprising popularity of skateboarding in southern england, and how the culture of the sport has had to fight to stay alive. This video helps portray the social and cultural environment that skateboarding has become today through motivation to keep the sport alive, and the fast spreading popularity of it.

• Landscape and documentary shoot in North Yorkshire // when I go to Yorkshire at the end of this month it will be a great chance to experiment with cinematic-esque landscape  and portrait photography. The North Yorkshire Moores are meant to have some of the most breathtaking landscapes in England.
