Breaking The Rules – The Rule of Manipulation 

https://www.huckmag.com/art-and-culture/photography-2/eight-photography-rules-worth-breaking/

For this project I have chosen the third rule suggested in the article by Lewis Bush. I chose this rule because I think that I could but a lot of conceptual and abstract meaning into my images

Mood board for the project 

The main aim for this project is to show the way the way that images can be manipulated to show things in a different way, can can be changed by the producer to give of there personal feelings on a certain topic and they way that this change influence and effect others. Rather then photographing the whole view of different scenes I am going to take a more abstract view, I am going to do this by the way that I frame and capture my images. The mood boards above reflect some of the final images that I would like to produce, I have also decided that I want to use a a film camera for part of the project as I want to manipulate/experiment  the chemicals that are used in film cameras to create different outcomes of images.

For the political landscape aspect of this project I am going to focus on nature, as my landscape and the way that  nature and modern buildings are co-existing. For my first shoot I am planning to focus on colour and double exposure to manipulate my photographs, to give a dreamy feel to my images. I will manipulate the images by focusing on small sections of the image and then by merging two images together. Or another idea will be to blend to photos together, I have one image and plain such as a sunset of a small abstract part of an image paired with a normal landscape image that would see everyday. I want the photos to have a colour palette of browns oranges and yellows as it is turning into autumn all of the leaves are going to change.

Definition of Political Landscape – A political landscape actually refers to the current state of things, as well as how they are looking in the future. While these metaphors are never actually used, you could say that a recession is hard work, climbing up a hill, and then a boom is the exhilaration of riding down the other side in a go cart. Political landscapes can be connected to conceptual or narrative forms of photography.

An example of an political landscape in jersey is the location of where to put the new hospital. And the resistance when it was proposed to put it on Peoples Park.
