_contextualize the subjects (subjects might be shot in a studio.)

_an online gallery which plays with the idea of privacy

Having watched the documentary on street photography called “streets off limits” and being re-briefed about how should the project should be approached. I’ve decided to play with the idea of the “security stripes” (as i would call them). My approach will be to take images with the subjects having their eyes covered by black* stripes with their hands, and the image portfolio will be presented / published via a (striped)website.

* I am also planning to have some reasons for having colourful stripes**

**being given the option of picking a color for their images, the subjects will be more expressed in the image (working idea!?)

Having the time to think about my street off-limits brief gave me the idea to challenge the iconic monuments of London’s with Macro photography. Obviously nothing will be in focus but are their images in our memory, and my photography strong enough to enable us to recognize them in those blurry pictures? Here is an example;

Reflecting on a Photo Day

A Photo day is a day that I simply go out and try to practice framing, try to warm up with my camera, and to get a hold of the inspirational ideas that I happen to acquire from the researches that I am currently undertaking. One of the most influential material that I find out while I was investigating through the programme list of the “Genius of Photography” series was about Herni Cartier-Breson, the interview can be found here. As it has been stated in the interview that the pictures that has been taken at a certain time mustn’t be planned but they have to be listened to, from that approach I gave a try to shake away my tourist gaze and not to listen what is going around myself and try to meditate and focus on the instance that is surrounding me. As i experienced, it is a very consuming and hard to concentrate thing to do, in a world in which there’s is so much going around an individual. Another thing that has been mentioned in that interview was the geometry’s importance in the composition(which is also what mainly tried to achieve in my pictures by making connections with the hit points of the rule of 3rds). This two are unprocessed pictures which are not ruined by my broken viewfinder / camera as examples and of what i did on that day (30.03.09 – Borough Market)
