Second Project Proposal

I decided to change my project theme from my original idea which was abstract of Nature and wood to still life of flowers. The reason for changing my Aesthetic theme was because still life of flowers had more to offer in terms of depth, colour and shapes. Moreover I consider focusing my project of one specific area of nature rather than nature as a whole because I think nature as a whole is too vast it would be difficult to create a consistent and patterned theme. If I focus all my time on flowers I would be more profitable in terms of harmonising themes and effects.

My final digital images will be based on a Colour Popping effect so shooting still life will allow me to get the right compositions that will work well with colour popping. Flowers also contain vibrant colour tones that will create contrasting images when using colour popping.

Flowers will also allow me to carry out photo shoots in a wide variety of locations including parks, flower shows and gardens. I have also viewed potential locations such as Lister park within Bradford and Tropical World in Leeds.

Working with flowers will also allow me to create my own designs within a studio environment, for example I could combine different types of flowers together in bouquets, or I could use other objects that harmonise with the type of flower I am using E.g. blue bells placed in a dark blue vase.

I will complete four shoots, colour and black and white images within Lister Park and indoors.

I have researched famous Nature Photographers such as Charlie Waite and David Muench, I believe their images makes viewers feel relaxed and calm, it creates a soothing and inspiring effect. My target audience will be aimed at teenager and adults who will use my image for decorations and displays within galleries.
