I’ve decided to take more visceral images in the style of Rinko Kawauchi because I’m aiming to create a nostalgic emotion through my photobook, rather than an image.
What | Why | How | When | Where |
I want to find objects and places that create the sense of nostalgia and draw the emotions that bring back my childhood memories. | I will do this to create the feelings I want to portray through my photobook as a whole | I’m going to make sure I bring my camera around with me and capture the things that create this visceral and surreal effect. | I want to make sure there is good lighting such as sunset or sunrise because they give a natural orange tint that I can then adapt when editing | I will plan some shoots at places that are nostalgic for me such as St Ouens beach/ woods, the sand dunes, old school areas, Les Quennevais precinct etc. |
Planned shoots over the holiday break:
St Ouens woods – trees, shells, swings, the sea, full landscapes, close up/ macro lense
Sand Dunes & woods – Capturing the light through the trees, Judy Kurland style in the trees, footprints/ my dogs pawprints
St Ouens bay – capturing the motion of the sea and creating hidden meanings through it, the movement with slow shutter speed.
