The theme given for our exam, Variation and similarities has an instant link to several different movements and types of photography. When hearing this my instant reaction was to look at Typologies and also use pop art as an inspiration.
Definitions:
Variation-
- A change or slight difference in condition, amount, or level, typically within certain limits.
- A different or distinct form or version of something.
Similarity-
- The state or fact of being similar.
- a similar feature or aspect.
MIND MAP:
I was particularly interested in looking at incorporating Commercial advertisement into the theme to produce interesting images that would critique modern day advertisement. I was also keen to create images that have complete oppositional properties to another set of images. I thought using colour as a focus would be a good to compare images.
MOOD BOARDS:
An idea I looked at was Creating portrait photography for this theme as I have not explored portraiture as much and could create interesting images in this style. another idea could be reoccurring objects or buildings in landscape photography.
Oliver, a good solid blog posts so far,
Now focus on finding relevant artists references and plan responses
Try and plan some responses to Photo-assignments too, for example: Produce a number of quick photoshoots or video shoots using your mobile phone or camera . These initial recordings are testing out ideas that you could develop and refine later on as part of your exam project.
