Short commentary
A generic
project title of 'Markets' was agreed, with the caveat that it was not just 10
photographs of stalls and stall holders. My initial research was to clarify
what constituted a typical market image, I then spent time at various markets
watching all activities from stall erecting in the morning through until stall
dismantling in the evening. Unfortunately, this just confirmed that I took
typical market images and so I needed to develop a different angle.
After a
chance conversation with a busker, I found my angle - converse with the stall
holders to collect their new years resolutions (NYR).
In the
first section of this course we have debated 'what makes a document?', the
output being: context. As such I have developed a set of images that have two
common themes - markets and NYR, thus providing for the viewer a clear context
for the portfolio. To add further to the context, I have also titled each of
these images with the name (or nickname) of the individual and dated them 2014.
During
these conversations people really opened up and discussed their private lives,
with the exception of Kenny who's very proud of being clean, I have not
included private information on the documents.
Documents to follow, post feedback from my tutor.
