Illustrated project proposal

Clint Losee, nature landscape photography

Sebastian Boatca, wide angle street photography

Camil Tulcan, motion blur photography


CONCEPT, IDEA AND ISSUE:
I'm going to concentrate on wide angle street photography. I feel like this will allow me to capture different atmospheres in different images. I can get different reactions from people as well which could be people looking at the camera or people avoiding the camera. I feel like this will be interesting to undertake.

ILLUSTRATED PROJECT PROPOSAL

My personal investigation

I will be photographing the different areas to emphasise the differences between urban, country and city - to showcase how people live differently. This project will involve me travelling to London, the beach, etc (as many places as I want) and photographing what makes them different. I will be doing landscape photography and each shoot will be small documentary pieces.

Background

I have decided to do this because I felt inspired when looking at Sebastian Boatca's work. During this summer I am going on holiday so I am planning on photographing the different aspects there. I will also plan on travelling to many more places, which include aspects such as the beach. To start this project of I will be concentrating on my home town which is Harlow, in Harlow I can photograph the town centre and the town park as these are the places closest to me. For these areas I will photograph people and how they live their lives in Harlow.

Photographer research

One photographer that I have researched more is Sebastian Boatca. He's based in Brussels, Belgium and does lifestyle photography which includes people, streets and landscapes. When looking at his street photography it is noticeable that he mostly shoots in black and white, I feel like shooting in black and white gives the effect of unknown colour and it creates a more dramatic and meaningful approach. "The artistic expression is one of the ways we can blend into nature strings and communicate with people around the world".

Another photographer I have researched multiple times is Henri Cartier-Bresson. When looking at his work, you can tell he concentrates on the decisive moment which involves waiting for the right moment to photograph an image.

Illustrations

When looking at my researched photographers photographs, I decided to research a bit more and find more street photography and see if they are different to which Sebastian has done...

I like this image as there is a meaning behind it. These people are lining up for something but we don't know what. By looking at them they all look quite young, so I can only imagine that they are lining up to watch something, such as a band. Also looking at what they are wearing, this could be during the summer time as many are wearing shorts and short-sleeved tops. I could photograph the youth of our generation and show how some may think they are more grown up than they actually are.

I like image because there are unknown people, we don't know where they are and who they are. The photographer has left it to our own imagination which is more interesting for us viewers. This image has inspired me too photograph buildings in London and the people because the people in London are all different and dress differently, so I feel like it would be interesting to capture a few of these different styles and people. The infrastructure is also very intricate and I feel could be very aesthetically pleasing to capture.

I like the colour in this image, the saturation is very high and appealing. This is also motion blur as the photographer has captured the ride moving. This can be easily done for me as I can travel to Brighton or Southend, etc and capture the rides and people having fun. I feel like the colours make the viewer feel happy as they are there to attract customers and make things more exciting. The man controlling the ride contrasts with the colours as he is dull and looks grumpy - it's like he is using up his time to make other peoples times fun.
