For the project student life, I propose that I am going to shoot a series of images that represent students in a balanced way. Such as showing the party side; were they are drinking, smoking etc. Also the student side; studying and learning. I am going to shoot these images and later edit them using gaussian blur on photoshop. I am choosing to edit in this way as I feel it makes the image appear much more professional and not like amateur photography.
I am going to shoot images which incorporate all aspects of student life. This includes behavior in collage compared to home and how personalities can change when in different environments. Some images that I can imagine shooting are young people standing under a street light on a street corner at night, metaphorically this could communicate that students are like moths attracted to light; wanting to find warmth in a cold and unwelcoming society. Another idea for a shoot would be showing the life after student life. I would use my brother, an ex-student, as my model. I will take a photograph of him in representation of a student, this will show fashionable clothes and a relaxed attitude. In comparison, I will take a image of him in his work clothes, a suit. This will communicate my chosen idea for the whole project which is that students do not stay in this lifestyle phase forever, and at some point will grow up.
In previous experimental work, I have experimented with various In-camera and digital effects. However, I would like to broaden my understanding and perceptions of this topic so am planning to experiment with other effects. This will include changing the shutter speed to give images a dream-state effect. I would also like to experiment with different forms of light and how allowing more/less light into the image changes the perception of it. I am interested in peoples emotional and phycological response to mood in connection with colour and light so would like to show this in the images.
The images created in this project, although for the purpose of a project, could be used for various promotional and artistic circumstances. This includes advertisements for the collage, political statements of the representation of youth culture, marketing in a positive/negative way, for exhibitions or as part as inspiration for other forms of art/photography.
I have already shot some early images not focusing on particular students, but objects relating to them. These include cigarettes, graffiti and pizza boxes.
