My tutor, Jess Lennan made a series called ‘Two Cities’. As part of this series she took photos of people in their environments. The images are similar to what I am aiming for. The series explores the cities of Exeter and Plymouth as a juxtaposed narrative. The portraits in the series is what I amContinue reading “VISUAL RESEARCH – JESS LENNAN”

In this shoot I photographed Chelsea in her bedroom. Straight away I knew the shoot wasn’t successful as I wasn’t getting any good photos. It was a small room so she sat on her bed which was next to a window. This allowed just enough light in but it was an overcast day so didn’tContinue reading “SHOOT 11”

This shoot I photographed Jordan who was a gamer. He had a gaming set up in his small bedroom. This was one of the most challenging shoots I have done, purely because of the lack of space. His desk was in a corner with walls either side and a tv behind it. This left meContinue reading “SHOOT 10”

I have narrowed the ages I am photographing to mainly 23 as this is the age I will be next year and from people I know there is a lot of differences in their lifestyles. I am going to allow a year either side to include people who have only just turned 24, or peopleContinue reading “SUBJECT RESEARCH – BEING 23”

Adrienne Salinger is an American photographer who in the early 90’s created a photobook where she took photographs of teenagers and their bedrooms, the series is called ‘In My Room: Teenagers in Their Bedrooms’.

So far I have done some successful shoots and have refined my style for this project. Seeing them as a series I like that they are all quite different. I was worried that using different angles and composition would not fit well as a series but I think it emphasises the differences between these peopleContinue reading “SUMMARY 2”

I went to another work place for this shoot. I was taking photos of Jason who works as a chef in a pub. The kitchen was not that big but we found a lot of locations and angles to experiment with. He was quite busy as he had to keep working so I took photosContinue reading “SHOOT 9”

For this shoot, I took photos of Meg in her work place. She works in a small bakery. When deciding where to shoot these photos we decided on here as this is where she felt comfortable. As she works a lot she might even spend more time here than at home, so this is aContinue reading “SHOOT 8”

Ida Kar was born in 1908 and photographed mainly in London where she mainly took black and white images of artists and writers. Some of her work was of the artists and writers in their working environments. It is interesting as it is their own creative spaces, so they probably felt more comfortable. It hadContinue reading “VISUAL RESEARCH – IDA KAR”

I did another shoot the next day without time to research more but I kept in mind the importance of the objects in the frame. In this shoot I shot a couple who were living together in his parents house. They shared this fairly small space in his family home. It was actually quite similarContinue reading “SHOOT 7”
