I think I have stressed out to the max for ideas of what to do this year as usually in the past we were always given guidance so having no idea what to do it on where there is such a wide a range can be really hard!
My first idea was to work with the whole affect of "Instagram" which is an app you can get on smart phones for free which let you edit your photos with different type of filters such as XPRO or Early Bird. I did a lot of research into this and found out it came from a man who worked with cameras such as the Polaroid and did experimentation and liked the affects it gave even if it wasn't perfect.
People love using Instagram because it's a quick simple way to take a boring photo and make it look unique or pretty. The man who made Instagram said it wasn't made to make photos look good or better it was meant to tell a story of the photo and let people share their lives through photos. It gets people more interested.
This experiment I thought was so interesting working your way back into photography such as Iphone camera, SLR camera, film camera but I didn't know what topic to do it on which made me stuck. Instead I mindmapped, googled a couple of things which interested me such as documentary style, something different though to what I usually do. I liked the theme 'loneliness' as you can do such a wide range of pictures such as landscapes, people, objects and can experiment with ISO, black and white, apperture and also artists such as Uta Barth with a technique of making everything blurred giving it a 'lonely' theme. I could also experiment into a old film camera to give it the blurry, dark affect like the ISO would do on a SLR camera and still try with that technique as I was interested into looking back at old photography and working with old cameras.
