Produce a detailed plan of 3 shoots for each idea in your specification that you are intending to do; how, who, when, where and why in the next 3 weeks?
Photo shoot one – For my first photo shoot I am planning to further develop my previous mirror shoot by doing a similar photo shoot be in a different location to add to this idea. For the location, I am planning to go to a beach/ rocky beach location. I am also going to try to use different size and shaped mirrors also using a model to hold the mirror. To complete the shoot I will use a tripod to make sure the photos are taken from exactly the same place each time.
Photo shoot two – The next photo shoot will consist of taking a photo of the landscape, digitally manipulating it in some way, printing it out and then somehow rephotograph it in the landscape. This could be achieved by either going a model to hold the image in their hands or holding up the image myself behind the camera. The show differentiation in the images which will be printed out I plan to take them at a different weather condition or a different time of day which will change the lighting and shadows.

Photo shoot Three – My third photo shoot will be similar to my second but instead of using images I have taken and rephotographing them back into the landscape, I will used archival images from public archive and rephotographing them back into the landscape. I could incorporate these images back into the landscape as previously stated in my second shoot. The idea behind these images is to show what changes have occurred in between the time when the two images have been taken.

Possible Photo Shoot Four – Another photo shoot I could conduct is taking paintings in frames and rephotographing them back into the landscape. The paintings could be cheaply purchased from a second shop. The idea of this shoot is too show the contrast between the painting and the surrounding landscape. The artworks would juxtapose the landscape (e.g. An smokey industrial painting in an idyllic country-side background)

Hayden : as discussed this morning…
Aim to create a new set of images that focuses on a key parcel of land (that has controversial, political, environmental, historical or social importance) eg sand dunes and slave labour camps.
Photograph the area and include frames, mirrors and paintings of more romantic, charming landscapes…but avoid using people to hold your devices. Try using an easel or something similar instead (in-camera techniques)
Remember…you can also manipulate / blend your images together too to create final outcomes…experiment and explore
Look at Noemie Goudal for ideas…we can enlarge (by “tiling”) images to re-create the approach.
