Community

When given the title community the first thing that came to my mind was people, so I went out into
my local community and explored different ways in which I could try and capture the
essence of community with single portraits of its members. I also wanted to capture large shots
with people that don't even know each other but are part of a larger community.
Wanting to move away from people and photograph some new subject matter I started
photographing peoples homes, presenting them as being representative of the people who
reside in them.

From A to B

In this first idea I move on from documenting the interiors of derelict houses and explore methods in
which I can capture the area around me whilst going on walks around it. Whether this is by
limiting my self to one roll of film per journey or saying that I will take a photograph every 100
paces. I also explore different ways of photographing the locations ranging from macro
close-ups to long panoramic photographs.

From Behind the Camera

WIth this idea I am continuing on with the From A to B idea just taking it into a new direction of using portrait photography. I wanted to explore different ways in which I could capture someones characteristics or persona as well as emotions over time. I then went on to explore the use of video in
recording a persons personality.

Passions and Obsessions (Exam Work)

In this folder lies the work for my exam around the theme of passions and obsessions. I which I initially explore the idea of collections but progress to look at those things that are uncollectible in are society and why these boundaries are placed upon us.
