Initial Ideas

Proposal

Zine Idea

Lifestyle photography
            I find lifestyle photography such an interesting subject to view in a zine, magazine and social media format. The random spontaneity and current feel to the ongoing subject matter relates strongly to the ethos of a zine e.g. a zine is something current and disposable.

Skate Photography
            I have recently produced a zine on the theme of skate culture and was extremely pleased with the outcome. I really like the idea of documenting subcultures and I think a zine is a brilliant was of doing so. This theme also draws from the idea of lifestyle photography so the two ideas work side by side.

Fashion Photography
            I have never really ventured into fashion photography but would be interested in testing the water. I have friends studying fashion so this could be a brilliant chances for some collaboration. As fashion is an ever changing and evolving entity a zine is a perfect way of presenting it as zines move with the time and once they are out if date can be disposed of. 

Professional Practice

Photograph for a club (Motion, Lakota etc.)
            I love the scene surrounding these clubs and I also love photography so I can’t think of anything better than bringing them both together. This is also another brilliant chance to delve into the realms of lifestyle photography, to be a fly on the wall. I have always been reticent to become a club photographer but if it was for a club in which I actually enjoy being inside and respect, with artist performing that I actually want to see I think it would be brilliant.

Shoot for an independent/local clothing company
            As I have already said, I have little experience in photographing fashion but I do have experience in photographing people. I would be interested in shooting in a lookbook style, where I would not only be photographing the clothes but the people inside the showing them being worn in interesting spaces and situations.
