Mind Map of Possible Ideas
A Mood Board of images that have inspired my initial Ideas

For my exam, I am wanting to focus on nature and the way it changes. There are multiple areas that I can look into such as flowers and animals, however, becasue I live on an island the sea is a very significant part of the landscape and the tides are constantly changing. In both predictable and unpredictable ways. I feel like this would be an interesting topic to explore because of the variations as well as the similarites in each tidal movement.

How I am going to go about photographing the tidal movements:

I am going to take a series of images from various areas of the island. Each area will contain photos taken every 5/10 minutes, until a visible change occurs. With these series of images I am hoping to display them in two ways. Firstly I am going to create a moving image using photoshop, to show the tidal movements. I am also going to display the images in a grid, so that each photo is one frame of the moving image.


Artists I am going to look at and the images that have inspired me:

  • Michael Marten
  • Lorna Simpson
  • Eadweard Muybridge
  • Hiroshi Sugimoto
  • Roni Horn
  • Jem Southam
  • Bernd and Hilla Becher
  • John Baldessari
