Idea 1

Idea 1: Contact Sheets

This idea was shot over two days with the images showing people wearing hats and Jackets. Sown in the book based on this idea on the next page show which I have Selected. The images highlight the diversity of the people who allowed me to take portraits of them. The Context of these images is to show that we are part of the community. The idea behind these images were about The Portrait of Kent, with shooting people with the typology mark on them to show that we are more linked than we try to make out due to the way we have all acted since the vote to the Leave the EU, while some of the shots also show we need to understand how we are the same inside. I think the way the idea that the work has come out and how it as come together stands out to the viewer.

How does this idea link to Pieter Hugo?

The Idea is similar to what Pieter Hugo had shot for Hyena and other men, the work does not quite link to his work as the images are not consistent enough. The Problem with this is that the way that the subjects have all been placed does not follow the same like he has done in Nollywood with them being in the identical distance from the camera even with different locations. I think the idea is strong for another project that I am planning taking in the coming years but this does not link to Pieter Hugo’s work. If I am doing this idea again I need to make sure the subjects are the correct distance away from the camera so this can stand out and flow smoothly?
