Developing my idea

NATURAL LANDSCAPE IMAGES
OR.................
LANDSCAPE IMAGES WITH A DIFFERENCE?
Whilst I'm very excited about the work of Martin Parr, it is very important for me to think about how I can take inspiration from his work.  Circumstances that can effect this is the fact that i don't live near the sea.  I am planning to visit Blackpool sometime in the next few weeks and I'm hoping to create some Martin Parr style images from this. 


I am now seriously thinking of the final 12 images which I have to present.  Whilst I like alot of the images that i've taken already on this course, I think that presenting a mixture of naturally beautiful landscape images along side my own take of Martin Parr style images may not mix well as I want there to be a similar theme throughout.

I will see what comes from my Blackpool trip and then decide soon on which route my final portfolio will go down.  

Alot of the type of images I want to take are based on wether a certain person/object is in the right place at the right time as i don't want it to be too staged!  This idea may fail and I could always go down the natural landscape route.  Time will tell.

  1. Hi Mark, I love the work of Martin Parr, particularly his English seaside photos, I went to his lecture at the college, did you manage to see him?, I will be adding him to my blog very soon. Keep up the good work!
