In Transition - Treatment

In Transition

I want to show transition through drugs and how you go from perhaps a state of feeling low, to the "high" feeling you can achieve after smoking weed, i will show this in my photography by showing the change that my models feel mentally, to also how they are physically, using the skate park ramps to show that sense of being high or low. I am basing some ideas on the Larry Clark work, and i want to show how drugs can become a major part of someone's life, and having to keep the habit of your addiction to yourself and other addicts. Example of Larry Clark work below.

 

For this production i will need a Fuji Fine Pix camera, then i may need photoshop after to touch up any errors or show the effects of the drugs more to show the style that i want. In order to hire the equipment needed, the camera would cost about £25 per day. For my project, i am using my friends as models, which they have agreed to do for me already. The use if drugs may break moral ights, because it may offend people. The pictures will be presented in a powerpoint that will be projected onto a board.

Art Photography

Art photogrpahy is something i would consider more creative and unique than other styles of photography. Art photogrpahy could contain any number of things, from people to nature or any objects. Art photography often uses different lenses to capture an interesting style of photo, for example a wide angle lense is used to create the image below.

Art photogrpahy does not have to be of buildings and in black and white though, it could also incorperate more colourful ideas. Art photogrpahy is such a wide idea that it could be anything.

Art photogrpahy could be taken anywhere, from outside, seeing something that you think would make a wonderful photo (like the photo of the ladybird on the left), or it could be a set up studio, either inside or out, where the photogrpaher already has an idea and sets up a way to take a photograph of it. Effects can also be added to a photgraph to make it more interesting and make the display more interesting (example - below the ladybird photo on the left).

These images or shown in a number of ways, they can be posted online for people to see, or they could be shown in galleries. When they are shown in galleries they could be shown using projections, or in the standard way of putting the photograph on a wall, either straight on the wall or in a frame, depending on the style of the photo and the style of the collection in general.
