For this final assignment for Expressing Your Vision we have assignment five, titled – Photography is simple. This assignment brief explains that we are to create a series of 10 images of a subject of our choice. We must explore this theme and each individual image must reveal new information rather than a repeat of the previous image. Each image should reveal something new!
Looking back through the exercises which, I carried out for part 5 the build up to this assignment, I realised that enjoyed and was inspired by the abstract work of Edward Weston and thought about how I would like to incorporate this into my final series submission. I decided I wanted to choose something personal, something I could take you on a journey with and something I had empathy towards. This lead me to choose the theme ‘Military’. My husband served in for the forces for just under nine years and in those nine years we married and I moved around within the army quarters with him. The military has been a big part of my life and even though my husband became a civilian 18 months ago he still helps train recruits in the army reserves as their drill instructor – therefore, the military is still a very significant part of our every day lives. Thinking of the narrative within this assignment from a personal perspective and journey.
I intend on making a series of 10 images showing an abstract insight into military life.
My brain storm and plan is below:
