For my final shoot, I will completely focus on the theme of “Signs of Life”.

Before completing the shoot, I brainstormed my ideas of things relating to the theme. Some topics I came up with included graffiti and pollution that people create, daily tasks such as washing the dishes and hanging out washing, and objects we use regularly such as gas pumps.

I will explore the area once again looking for these specific themes to capture.

Concept: I will continue to use the flash especially for the images featuring the rubber gloves when washing up as this will really emphasize their colour in a familiar but dramatic way.

Location: Images featuring a person will be taken inside the subject’s house. The subject of the image will be a person who lives within the area I was given.

In many of the images, I tried to conceal the face of the subject as I wanted the attention to be on the action rather than the person. I did this in different ways such as cropping the face out entirely with the camera or by using other materials in the photo like the clothes pegs.
