I pretty much know what I want to do with my portraiture brief. I want to experiment with anonymously photographing people on buses. I have been thinking about the 'Your Environment' part of the assignment.
I feel very inspired by Duane Michals who we watched some work of in class. I was particularly moved by his Things Are Queer series of photographs.
I really love this set of photos as they really blow my mind in relation to time and space. When looking from one photo to the next, not knowing what to expect, it really draws me in. I also like it because each photograph is important and needed to help make sense of the next one.
I would really like to possibly explore this theme in my own work of photographs for The Environment assignment.
I am not sure as to what subject matter my photographs will contain, but I have come up with a brief sort of plan to start to work my ideas around.
It has kind of blown my mind getting my head around my own concept. Apologies if you cannot understand and of my drawing/writing. I scribbled it down really quickly on the bus.
My idea is basically about revealing people from behind other people. It ends on a shot from over the shoulder of someone taking a picture of the four revealed people. I could also if I wanted to put that in a frame hanging on someones wall of this final photograph just as an optional extra. I however doubt that I will have the resources to do this even though it would be good and add a bit of Duane Michals style to my series.
I will develop ideas further and report back on a further course of action later.
Ciao!
