Research and notes from lewis bush article:

What I was inspired by through Lewis bush’s ‘eight rules’.  The only way to tell them is to take a few risks, break all the rules and pioneer a new way of seeing the world. posing his subjects, manipulating his prints, and often becoming dangerously over-involved in his stories.But documentary is not journalism,#1 The Rule of Objectivity.#2 The Rule of Audience: audiences, of shaping public opinion and perhaps in the process shaping policy.“undermine this hierarchical, class-based relationship between images and their audience”.#3 The Rule of Manipulation, this forbids photographers from using digital editing to manipulate the meaning of their images.very stage of the photographic process is a manipulation, and is open to no less egregious misrepresentations.“I see propaganda and reality as two sides of the same coin,” she says. “Propaganda is an essential part of everyday life in North Korea, and because of that a reality in itself.”#4 The Rule of Reality“creative treatment of actuality”vents which were then, and still are, yet to transpire blend of fact and fiction “They had been forced to wear makeup and my informants had described it perfectly: bright red lips, pink cheeks and blue eye-shadow.”#5 The Rule of Technicality, Lacking the clarity of a conventional documentary image, her work hints at the uncertainty engulfing the country at a time of change.“It was about responding spontaneously to the events around me,”#6 The Rule of Ownership, His interest in these images, he says, lies in the fact that “the people who are running the show, that’s the stuff they’re working with.”#7 The Rule of the Camera“I have always understood, or at least attempted to understand, the close communion one must have with story. When the story is served by all the elements, an opening up of technique and creative possibility in how that story gets told is laid out for you.”“The body is becoming part of this new informational economy,” says Orton, whose visceral reaction to a utilitarian image is a reflection on the relationship between living bodies and their representations.#8 The Rule of Rule BreakingWhen it comes to working on sensitive topics and with vulnerable subjects, the expectations and standards have never been higher.But good practice, ethical practice, more often stems not from any formal rules of documentary

Reality: Rule number 4

I thought reality was such a interesting concept that would allow me to question its rules in many circumstances.  To my reality lies between three main concepts. I believe tablo photography and a staged sense of altered reality would question the proposition of what reality is.  I believe there is a sense of trust seen within reality and people believe what they expect to be reality. I could change this by doing a documentary series in a way which is not expected and also a specific small angle of what is actually the truth. E.g a study of school with the reality of how people are treated and what happens behind the scenes and when not at school for learning. My second aspect of intrigue is the concept of predicting the future, and the power of invention and to from something which is not currently real. This allows a sense of lies of perhaps what people would want in the future e.g hope. This could also incorporate into Tablo photography as it would be set up in order to create a frame that has not officially happened.I could do this through thinking of a political concept or and environmental impact, so predicting who will win the election, what changes will be soon developed to St Helier, or the deterioration of the environment. As this has not happened but the plausibility caused produce a sense fo reality to readers. This could possibly be a recreation of something that has happened or started to happen elsewhere, war, poverty and such. This creates a sense of awareness to people who are oblivious in rich areas such as jersey. My last inspiration Is the appearance of a false reality seen within an appearance or a sense of personality, this could be developed further into someones culture and what is expected of them to look and act and Additionally how someone presents themselves, through styles, fashion and makeup.  I believe this is a-lot more apparent especially with  young teenagers trying to change who they are in order to be and create someone who they are not. So creating a false sense of reality.

research: when searching the word ‘reality’ through the concept of photography many images come up which a-lot of documentary photography in order to tell the ‘truth’ Much of which is very harsh and hard hitting and show people a scenario that is not particularly nice to look at. Such as seen within this image you can see a young injured girl who instead of people getting help they photography her for story to encourage help which they could have given. The camera is constantly manipulated and everyones truths will always be different. Because I believe every photo-lies in some manner i think to create something that is not reality will be relatively straight forward when i know my concept of my shoot.

To further what concept I should really narrow into i will do further research to see which photographers are too inspired by how a narrative is told and how lying further does not change how the camera already shows a small part of a large story anyway.
