I’ve just done a third shoot… the idea has slightly changed again, pushing this idea of how we live in a false reality because of electric lighting; a false sense of security and time… will see how the pics come out in the hdr formats!

Thinking about my light proposal (As the first idea didn’t go down too well… ) I’d like to explore electric lighting and how it has changed the way we behave. How there’s little difference between night and day, as we can do the same activities at night as we can during the day.
I want to explore this idea through an HDR aesthetic as it will make the image look unreal. This aesthetic will reinforce the idea that we behave as if there is no day or night, living in a false reality of time.
I want to experiment how light can transform an object into an abstract image. How lighting an object such as food can make it look like a painting or a pattern rather than a piece of food.
I want to investigate how food is not treated as a necessity in today’s society. It is a luxury due to the high expectations of what we consume…. consumption. How we always want the next best thing. Making something that doesn’t look like the next best thing look bad-ass.

For the T I M E sequence I would like to achieve an aesthetic which enhances the detailing of the disintegration of the city. My series will show how buildings which are thought to be strong, durable and long-lasting are, in fact, not. The images will show a series of stages that a structure will go through over time before it is rubble. Each of my images will capture a moment of varying buildings being dismantled, of them falling apart, no longer the once thought to be strong structures. The images will show how over time things decompose, regardless of the expected longevity.
A collaboration of photos is how I want to show the contrast of old and new. Rather than using long exposures, etc, I will focus on moments in time. Snapshots of the ruins beyond a fence. The new fence vs the old ruins beyond it.
I want to focus on capturing moments in time. Moments of old and new meeting.
I’d like to explore the idea of a time lapse video, contrasting each image to the next, which in turn, should impact the viewer through the contrast of the fence to the ruins.
The past and the present, there + then vs here + now, the old vs the new. The transition from one to another. I will investigate this idea through a series of photographs in my T I M E sequence.
[ Space + Place ]
The cohesion of these two elements will allow me to capture moments of time when people have left a location to deteriorate, illuminating the idea of how beautiful something is when it is left for the elements to encroach upon it.
Society has fallen into this void of wanting the next best thing. With this, the old is replaced with the new and the old is forgotten with time. Encapsulating a place that has been neglected will show how it can be just as beautiful, if not more, than the new, and how it is overlooked by the surrounding city for being disparate.
The point of focus is a court that is no longer used for it’s original purpose. [basketball/netball/tennis]
It is a desolated space that has elements of corrosion and beauty whilst being glared at and surrounded by societal expectations to be modern.
