Shoot 1
Within this shoot I will be focusing on Larry Clark and I will focus on the skateboarders outside of the skatepark as I believe focusing on their lifestyle as well creates more of story behind the subjects I will be capturing. I believe that Larry Clarks images relate to the idea I want to capture in the sense that he also focuses on peoples lifestyles and I believe that the relation between my images and Larry’s with have significant similarities. I will be shooting in black and white on digital and on film. I will be using film as I believe creates a vintage feel to the images because of the grainy effect it creates.
This Image is from Larry Clarks collection and is an image I want to recreate as I believe that there are multiple stories behind each subject within the image which makes this image in particular more interesting to look at.
Shoot 2
Within the second shoot I will be focusing on Larry Clark and I will again have the main focus on the skateboarders however within the skatepark and still focusing on their lifestyle. I will produce this shoot in colour as I want to capture the colours that can be seen ranging from the outfits to the gravitated walls which I believe will create a strong contrast with the black and white images. I will be shooting in colour film and on digital. I will be using film as I believe it will create a more raw feeling to each image which I believe will relate to the documentary side of this shoot.
Shoot 3
I will be focusing on trying to replicate images in the style of Craig Stecyk as I believe I can incorporate the skateboarding movement with portraiture in a strong way and I think I can come out with outcomes that will heavily juxtapose images from previous shoots. Craigs images are all taken in black and white and have a very raw feeling to them which I believe has connotations of documentary photography which I want to heavily focus on. Craigs images consists highly of both portrait and group images which I want to include throughout as I think creates a sense of variation throughout and it will have a contrast effect throughout. I will take these images on a digital camera in both black/ white and colour as It will able me to alter my final images in multiple different ways.
