FLAWS & PERFECTIONS
Statement Of Intent
What is your chosen theme and why have you chosen to study this?
My chosen theme is ‘Flaws, Perfections, Ideals and Compromises.’ I will be focusing on ‘Flaws and Perfections’ as I have more knowledge about this topic and feel as though I could explore this theme in detail.
What research do you intend to carry out based on this theme?
I intend to carry out a variety of research based on the theme ‘flaws and perfections. I intend to research different photographers, and artists that relate to the theme, for example Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and many more. I also intend on carrying out research through the use of Pinterest. I will create a pinterest account and search different photographs based on my theme. I hope to look at the way different people have different views on what is perfection and what is flawed.
What photo shoots do you intend to complete during this project to help explore the topic chosen?
I intend on carrying out a variety of photo shoots to explore my theme ‘flaws and perfections.’ My first photo shoot will be exploring the over all theme, and coming up with ideas which I can then develop. I will also create a range of photo shoots interpreting other photographer’s work for example Jiro Yoshihara. I will include a range of different materials to make my photographs unique and interesting.
Which artists, photographers, galleries, do you intend to research into to help support this project?
Throughout this project I intend to look at a range of different photographers and artists. For example, I intend on carrying out research on Irving Penn, Aaron Siskind, John Pfahl, Jeff Wall, Martin Parr, Rita Berstein, and many more. By looking at these photographers, I hope this will further my knowledge of the theme, and help me think of creative ideas for photo shoots.
What techniques with the camera, darkroom and Photoshop would you like to use to help develop the theme?
I would like to use a variety of different techniques with the camera, darkroom and Photoshop to develop my theme. I will explore the use of manual settings on the camera, and will create different photographs using a variety of shutter speed and aperture settings. I will also explore the use of manual blur using the camera and also digital blur using Photoshop. I hope to use the darkroom to create different and interesting techniques to my photographs.
What do you hope to learn more about in doing this project?
In doing this project, I hope to learn more about my chosen theme ‘flaws and perfections.’ I hope to learn more about photographers and artists that focus their work on this theme. I hope to learn about new techniques both manually, and digitally to create different photographs. I hope to learn more skills about using the actual camera, the darkroom and Photoshop, in which I can incorporate into my final piece.
What do you see the final format as being?
I see the final piece as being a series of 3 A4 sized photographs. I see the photographs being in colour, and the frames white. I will use photographs from my re shoot, as they will be the most developed photographs. I will add manual techniques such as cutting different shapes, and layering. The main technique I want to use on my photographs, is stitching.
