Initial Ideas

My Initial Ideas 

The two mind maps below depict my initial two ideas upon studying the exam titles for component 2. The two headings that stood out to me most were 'Sensory Experience' and 'Transformation', I feel that they are both interesting ideas that I could adapt artistically. 

The mind map above shows my initial ideas for 'Sensory Experience', I concentrated mainly on the work of the photographers named. These being Ashvini Ray, Joel Meyerowitz and Robert Adams three photographers that take the concept of senses in different ways. Ashvini Ray concentrates mainly on close-ups of people skin and eyes producing similarity in her work. Whereas, Joel Meyerowitz and Robert Adams photograph landscape which you might not expect. Joel's work looks at bright colours that stand out in a dull setting, connecting with sight. Robert's photo's are of peaceful, tranquil settings that relax the senses of the audiences, the aren't complicated or saturated so are very pleasing on the eye. 

 

This mind map has my ideas for 'Transformations', the photographer that I am the most interested in is Abelardo Morel as the idea of Camera Obscura is very interesting and original. I like the idea of transforming a room using the landscape that is outside of it. This really brings the outside and the inside together something that isn't commonly seen in photography. The other photographer I like from this topic is John Stezaker and how he uses landscape images as masks over portraits. This is something that I could easily try in my own work as landscape, patterns and portraits are something accessible to me.
