This is the first time that I have a different approach to a project. I choose to meditate for a few minutes, clear my mind and think about the options that I have.
I have chosen this exercise because I prefer to think quietly first and then express my ideas in a paper. Mixing up words and options. I have decided to do it because I have many possible ways to mix this ideas. Initially, I thought about drawing or painting, however, looking into words it makes things easier for me.
I have many different options that I'd like to explore. From people to architecture, playing with lights, focus on diversity or in a decisive moment.
This project will take place in Leicester. I want to go and explore the many options for street photography I have.
I have already planned the material that I will ned to use such as camera, tripod and different lens. Also some of the software options I have, that could be Photoshop or Lightroom to editing some of the pictures that I will take. I still don't know if I want some black and white pictures or colourful. I think will depend on the some experimentation that I will do with software. I am a big fan of black and white photography and that could be an option for this project.
I looked briefly into some artist. I don't know everyone's work but I will look into their work and understand how can bring some of their ideas into my project and understand the different perspectives they have. I want to see also some of the work that I have done in the past and see how can I improve it regarding their techniques.
My initial idea is to go outside and capture moments. This could be through a window, playing with reflection and light. This could be from musicians in the street. This could be from group or a single person. Or even simple objects left behind. Architecture is also a good option as I have done things related in the past.
I have been living in Leicester since June 2021, however, being busy working or studying I do not have many free time to explore and see things differently. TO be able to shoot some Street Photography I will have the chance to see people and things that maybe I could not see before. Also this will help others to see how people and the community looks like.
You have a long list of artists you could look at for this post, maybe focus on one that you think is most relevant for this point in your project and then add some images/commentary on their work and why you think they are relevant. Diane Arbus would be a good place to start.
