I am interested at exploring the and taking photos at the airport. I think there would be a lot of opportunities to take interesting urban landscapes and areas which you would not notice at a glance, for example the old aircraft hanger and rows of cars in the car park.
I will also walk around urban areas areas near where I live which I have never looked at in detail before and take photos of what I come across. This will be interesting to discover new things in an area that I though I was familiar with.
I am interested in presenting my journey practically for example as a collage or scrapbook. I have looked into other photographers who do a similar thing and I found work by Nicola Hilditch. it was called ‘Scrapbooking The City…Psychogeography Experiment!’ She walked around her city with no particular destination in mind, collecting interesting objects and taking photographs to create a representation of the city in the form of a scrap book.
Photo shoot plan:
Concept: After researching the area i want to explore and looking at work from other photographers, I am going to take inspiration from the style of their work and apply it to my own photos but also adapt it to my own journey in the shoot.
Location: I am going to take photos around a warehouse and behind shops in my local area. The area has a main roar running through it which means people see it on a daily basis but never look at it in detail.
Lighting: I will use natural lighting to take these photos and I will take them in the afternoon to avoid over exposed images with light flares.
Camera settings: I will take the photos using the manual expose setting and experiment with long shutter speed and the waves.
