Preliminary ideas

Seeing as this is a very large project it is already time to start researching and looking into ideas for it.

 

Personally I would like to do something that relates in some way to photojournalism as that is ideally what I would like to go into at the end of Ravensbourne. So far I have come up with two ideas -

 

Speak to a Journalist friend of mine who works for the FT, see if there is somthing I can get into for this project.

 

While this will be very difficult, not only in actually getting some quality photographs but also attempting to write a breif that I can actually answer correctly. Seeing as photojournalism by nature is very random, one moment it could be documenting a warzone, next could be London Gangsters.

 

However even though it is difficult I believe it has the potential to be very good and interesting.

 

 

My second idea is band photography, somthing I have done a little published work in before. Which does give me some relativley easy access into various bands, singers and behinde the scenes action.

 

Though this in itself comes with its own pitfalls, when dealing with people on what can sometimes be a personal level it can become difficult to get some 'real' photographs and not somthing that is staged or posed.

 

'The camera changes what it captures, simply by being there'

 

Though again has potential to give a high quality series of work.
