Review
Prior to this course I had very few basic skills in photography. I had minimal knowledge on how a camera worked I.E. What shutter speed and aperture is ect. However my knowledge of film photography was almost non existant.
In the past few months I feel I have developed my skills in both my practical work and my ability to critically analyse other photographers work. Ranging from dead pan in the style of Thomas ruff, to portraiture in the style of Helmut Newton. I will use the techniques to help me create a much better quality of final images. A few techniques I have practiced, but was not satisfied with the result such as using acetate to turn a digital image into film, then print it onto photographic paper, however I was disappointed with the quality of the acetate, for it came out of the printer covered in scratches, therefore compromised the quality of the photograph.
I have looked at many photographers over the past few months, one that I find will heavily influence my work for this FMP, is helmut Newton. I have looked at much of his work and researched a lot using both primary research and secondary research.
Project concept
My concept for this project is to explore the idea that 'sex sells' and how it used in a way that is objectifying to both men and women. This kind of photography we view everyday be it in newspapers, magazines or even on TV. When advertisers use the idea of if you were to buy their product you will look like these 'perfect models'. I aim to do this using a few different models and dress them in provocative clothing, because I'm exploring advertising I'm aiming to do street fashion, for this I will provide the models with some of my own clothing, but only a top therefore keeping it provocative.
