Respond to a well known existing creative outcome by showing it through a series of photographs.

Describe in two or three sentences your conceptual angle or ‘take’ on this topic

Create a series of photographs that display Identity of our collaborative group. We will photograph events, symbols or places that have meaning to each of us and will show a glimpse of what makes us who we are. With the photographs we will think of composition, lighting, and focal points when taking the pictures.

The intention of our work is to

Show that despite our differences and what makes us who we are, our interest in art, specifically photography, unites us and makes us the same. We've all been brought up differently, we all have different cultures, different ages even and yet our interest in photography is what links us.

Plan

We plan to make (say what you envisage your end product will be)

To be able to discuss and work together as a team so that we are able to make a series of photographs that will show part of our life, whether it be family, sports, church etc. We will meet together and research different photographers that interest us and then try to emulate their style. We will also research photographers that use text as a narrative. We will also help each other filter through photos we have taken and edit the final photo that we have taken. We plan to make one photo each. A3 size, the shape of a polaroid picture. We envision our end product to be a series of 4 A3 photos with written text that depict a part of our identity.

Research resources

Make a list (that you will add to) of relevant books, articles, performances, web pages or any other things that are relevant to your ideas.
