Brief
The amount of pictures i want to create for my final idea will be roughly about 18, as i would like to play around with these photos and decide on which ones are my strongest, after this i will use my strongest photos in my final product.
For my final idea i would like to edit a lot of my photos in black and white to create a vintage kind of look as i want all of my categories to have there own theme, for my final idea i would like to have a mixture of different photos meaning the same thing but looking very different. i want my different categories to have different themes. for example black and white, sepia ect.
The artists i will look at for my projects are:
For my reflections i will look at Lee Friedlander's photography as i think his work is very interesting and different. I like Friedlander's work because he doesn't ever show all of his face and body at the same time, he only shows certain bits on certain photos which doesn't give his identity away.
For my reflections in water i will use the artist Paul Chong, I like this type of work and i think that you have to have a very good talent with a camera to capture reflections in the water, especially the sunset reflecting into the water.
when i come to do my wildlife photography i will be using mike lane's photography to lead me down the right path, i like wildlife photography as it is very hard to capture pictures of animals as they move around a lot, and don't stay very still, this can make it hard to capture the picture. When you capture pictures of animals it is showing the wildlife around us and how animals act.
When i take pictures of the fireworks i will be inspired by Richard Kempton and Alan Sailer. i think capturing pictures of fire works can be really hard, but when you capture the right one they look very interesting and professional.
My hole idea for this will be a journey type thing, were i will travel to different places to get these pictures and then my end picture will be my last result of my big journey.

Concepts
Water reflections
I like the idea of water reflections because i am interested in reflections in general and have a lot of interest in symmetry, For example when i am taking pictures in water there is a symmetric line of the actual object and the reflection, i think this creates a really nice effect and makes the photo a lot more interesting to capture that reflection as well than just taking the picture with only the object in. I especially like pictures with the sunset reflection included because you have the bright sunlight beam going down the picture as a line, and the line is properly in line with the actual sun.
Paul Chong is an artist i am inspired by.
Wildlife
I like the idea of wild life because taking pictures of animals can be hard and you have to be really good to capture the perfect photo of an animal. The artist i am inspired by for my wildlife project is Mike Lane, i like his photography because it isn't blurred were the animal has been moving which means he must have had it on a high shutter speed to capture the photo and make it look still.
Reflections
I like the idea of reflections because it is different and there are not many artists out there who do reflections, i like how the reflections can mean different things such as lack of identity. The artist i am inspired by for this is Lee Friedlander. I like Friedlanders work because its not all just about reflections he also includes shadows and things to do with him being there in that picture, because if his reflection or shadow weren't in these photos he wouldn't be involved in the photo.
