What you want to explore?

I am going to explore the simple aspects of portraiture in consideration to George Georgiou and Paul Fusco’s 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 to my pictures. My project will be linked to that through images taken of people i see on the bus capturing them in there true nature, i want the subject to never know I’m there and just act as they normally do in everyday life.

Why it matters to you?

This project matters to me as i currently have crashed my car so am stuck getting busses around so it is like what i see through my eyes for this portion of my life and i try to capture that in how 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 how i can learn more about individuals without them changing the way they are for the camera and are just in true nature, having a closer insight on their identities. I also feel that this links to todays society where everyone puts on a fake mask online, photoshop there photos, and pose but it never reflects who they truly are and i aim to capture that in this project.

How you wish to develop your project?

I wish to develop my project by going on multiple bus routes around different areas taking a range of different shoots experimenting with different angles, lighting, locations and to match the people i see 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 in and around st helier at busy times of the day in order to see as many people as possible just going about there normal lives i feel this is a good starting point to find what places feel safe and have meaning to them so i can capture them as they normally are.
