What you want to explore?

I am going to explore the simple aspects of portraiture in consideration to Sander and Sanks work. The majority of simple approaches in which appear initially simple at first are conceived from complex concepts that challenge the viewer and raise important issues. I will be acknowledging how this applies and format it in my pictures. My project will be linked in with subtle but meaningful images taken of my close friends in places which represent them as a person, i may include some candid’s to show their true selves off guard and how they feel in a certain location.

Why it matters to you?

This project matters to me as i feel it can also say a lot about who i am as a person with the way i edit and represent my final outcomes. It doesn’t only just matter to me as i can learn more about myself, but also because i can learn more about my friends as individuals as if i was perceiving them from someone elses perspective, having a closer insight on their identities.

How you wish to develop your project?

I wish to develop my project by going out today and tomorrow with my friends taking a range of different shoots experimenting with different angles, lighting, locations and framing to match which fits in with my friends and my own personality creating a better understanding with the meanings behind my final images.

When and where you intend to begin your study?

I intend to start my study preferably where my friends grew up e.g their home, neighbourhood, school just so this is a good starting point as to getting to know them better as an individual and what places feel safe to them so i can capture them at their best. I will be starting today afternoon continuing into tomorrow.
