Photoshoot 1

For my first photoshoot I would like to take some images in the style of John Maclean. I’m going to go to town after school and photograph things like: buildings, benches, cars, people etc. from two different angles or a few hours apart, in order to achieve images similar to Maclean’s in ‘Two and Two’. This will allow me pay more attention to my surroundings and look at the world differently as I will have to explore different angles of the same thing. I will experiment with low and high angles because I’d like my images to look slightly abstract and show things that you only see if you look hard enough. My aim for this photoshoot is to take around 200-300 images.

For my second photoshoot I would like to focus on photographing a specific item around town. In ‘Small Victories’ by John Maclean, a hose can been seen in almost every image, sometimes it’s easy to spot and sometimes it’s not. I could focus on benches, trash, couples etc.

For my third photoshoot I would like to take images in the style of Robert Adam’s ‘Summer Nights, Walking’ because I really like the simplicity of the final images. I will take my camera and go on a walk around my neighbourhood, at night. I could also take the bus outside of town and photograph the rural areas. I could juxta position these images to ones I’ll take on my other shoots and show the difference between day and night. I will experiment with taking my images in black and white instead of colour first so that I don’t have to edit them later on. This is because I’m certain I want the final results to have no colour. My aim to spend around 2 hours and take a good set of photographs.
