Ideas - 

Personal Opinion - 

Before looking down the list fully I reminisced to my art GCSE where I studied the technique employed by the photographer Dan Mountford and was interested in employing his ideas into the first category 'Personal Opinions' before realising his technique was attached to the exam subtitle 'Image Manipulation'.

As a result I wanted to introduce the conflicting societal ideals that battle within modern society such as capitalism, communism, socialism and Marxism etc.

To do this, I would use Dan Mounford's technique of double exposure whilst exploring Henri-Cartier Bresson's ideals of social change.

For instance; I would take silhouetted portraits of people in the studio and then apply images of, for example, riot signs that they would use depicting their beliefs. For example, I would photograph a friend who holds a Marxist opinion and overlay an image of it in photoshop depicting a phrase such as 'Down with the capitalist system'.

Therefore, my main idea is 'Personal Opinions' whilst I will be incorporating ideas of 'Image and Text' with 'Image Manipulation'.

  1. A good idea, let's talk this one through as your work develops… I have a few ideas for extending you r photographic approach, where you might be able to work with graffiti images in the style of Aaron Siskind.
