• What you want to explore?

I am going to explore street photography, by looking closely at visual elements when capturing the photos creating very graphical and visually appealing image. My aim is to create unique and engaging contrasting features through visual elements such as colour, texture, shape, pattern, line, and space. Through looking at different ways of light to the shadows produced creates these visually appealing, interesting tones and highlights that are created from this. I love this concept as it will reveal some interesting, hidden and unusual shapes and formations you and unknown an I want to explore this concept of ‘capturing unnoticed,’ as this will not only engage the viewer but reveal something. Exploring this I want to produce structured photos in terms of their compositions and layouts, looking closely at colour and shadows which come together creating this contrasting feature alongside the structured line and shapes. Within my photoshoots, I want to capture people and their relation between the streets. Looking at both people I know personally to strangers. Through looking at Lee Friedlander, part of his work he looks at signs and words, which are shown in a poetic and desirable way of how he sees his home, America. I want to further experiment with his concept, to show a relationship between different places. My aim is to produce compositional and engaging images,

• Why it matters to you?

I feel this concept

• How you wish to develop your project?

I want to use aspects of street photography within my own work, inspired by Lee Friedlander and Saul Leiter. Then further zooming into aspects that are personal. For example looking at signs, then seeing this in relation to someone within a photo, like getting their expressions and relation to the words. Further developing this by zooming in on how this signing and wording has a relationship with them personally. This will create this documentary and series of photos that express this gripping narrative, and unique approach to street photography. Exploring this through the composition of lines, pattern, space, form to colour, texture and tones, which will help me achieve this high contrast effect between these different elements, working together communicating this engaging and visually appealing narrative.

• Which form you wish to present your study (photobook, film, prints etc)
• When and where you intend to begin your study?

I am going to start off with capturing interesting formations and structured elements that i and interesting and unique, from signs and wording, to reflections of people through windows to buildings which will create this visually appealing composition. When taking the photo I want to have in mind this element of high contrast which I am going to express through the photo; layouts, lines, how the person is displayed within this, overall creating engaging shapes and colours.

how you interpret the themes of ‘OBSERVE, SEEK, CHALLENGE’

Throughout Observe, seek and challenge I am going to explore street photography and people but making it personal through using people I know and places I am familiar with, documenting a story that personal to me, following . Inspired by Saul Leiter, I love his use of bold compositions created by contrasting elements through colours, reflections, lines, shapes. I love this structural look created by colour, shape, texture, composition, pattern, line, space ,

This will overall help me a I feel this approach wiI want to show a journey throughout, creating a sequence of photos.

• I am going to take photos at different points of the day, for example during peak hustle and bustle times of the day, to during the evening and at night.
• At night – capture people going out, in their outfits,
• look at buildings that have a meaning around time then focus in on someone – follow them i the moment

Using photoshop cut image/ subject out the photo – so it just shows this on the page

use a mix of colour and black/white
