New brief - Collections

Our new brief is called "collections" we are looking at a variety of photographers who take the word "collections" and do different things with it. Some photographers I have looked at, such as Taryn Simon has taken a collection of photographs, either of the same object repeatedly or similar objects. But there are other photographers I have researched who gather a collection first and then photograph the actual collection itself instead of having a collection of photographs, such as Olivia Parker.

So far for this brief I have come up with three different Ideas, 

My first Idea is to go around a variety of different beaches along the coast and photograph the strand of the beach and the cliffs if there are some. I will be doing this shoot on my analogue camera because I think when taking landscapes, the grittiness of film images works a lot better.

My second Idea is to take photographs of all my rabbits. I have 6 rabbits in total, and I wanted to add something a little bit sentimental and personal to this shoot. So I’m taking my photographs in the style of Beatrice Potter's Peter rabbit. I am going to get blue ribbon to loosely tie around their necks and see how it looks. This idea is a bit of a hit or miss idea. But if it is successful I think it will be really good. 

My third idea, I was thinking about all the different collections my family and friends have and thought about my boyfriend. He has a very large checked shirt collection. He has about 12. So I thought this idea would work really well in the studio with a completely white background behind him so you are completely focused on him, it would work quite well and I think it’s a good opportunity to show studio skills a bit more.
