Location Folio - Progress

Here are some shots that I have taken so far for the Location Folio. As you will be able to see there are photos of people wearing different kinds of shoes, showing the variety of peope there are in Canberra.

Assignment Progress - Location Shoot

For my Location assignment, today I went into Civic with some class mates and photographed some practice shots of my concept (seeing people through their footwear) using bracketing to try and experiment with exposures. Also by going into to Civic where I want to photograph some of my shots, I was able to determine the kinds of people that I would like to see in my sequence of images. The kinds of people I would like to portray as workmen, office women, school kids, , white collar workers, skaters and every day people. 

The idea that I am trying to portray is that there is a large variety of people in Canberra through multiculturalism etc. By photographing all of these kinds of people we will see a number of different types of footwear. I will then be able to contrast the different types of footwear in my shots by placing two subjects next to one another to make them appear to be in a completely different context.

Some of the types of shoes I would like to see in my sequence might include: stilettos, work boots, school shoes, thongs, sneakers, skate shoes, bare feet and flat shoes.

I will continue to blog my progress as I go along

Location Assignment

For my location assignment seeing as though we have been told to photograph some aspect of Canberra I have decided to try and be as creative as possible. I have decided to photography shoes and people's feet in different environments in Canberra. So for example photographing a woman wearing high heel shoes in the office environment, or a worker in work boots at a construction site. I want to use these photographs to compare and show the contrast between people and their different environments. I am looking forward to taking these photographs, I think I have chosen an interesting topic
