My chosen theme for my photo book is freedom. I am going to hold three parties and a day at the beach where I will allow my mates to take photos of anything they want without limitations. I want the photos themselves to represent freedom in the way they are taken as well as their subjects. I also want to contrast different types of freedom: sober / drunk, day / night, boys / girls. I do not want to involve any Covid related objects or themes in my book as I want to ignore Covid, which has undeniably limited the worlds freedom over the last year and a half, as if it does not exist within this small world I am creating in the book. The freedom to have fun is the main theme I am going to try and represent within my photo book. Simply, I want a book that holds happy and fun memories from a time in my life that will always be remembered as dull and restricted due to Covid. I also hope that it gives an insight into the life of an 18-year-old and is informative and enjoyable to any viewer. I am going to use Paul M Smiths themes of a ‘lads night out’ and Alex Webb’s editing style of high saturation to create my final images and show true, uninfluenced freedom.
