Researching Photographers. You should have at least 10 different photographers, FULLY researched.

Experiment with your imagery using your artists as a guide and inspiration. Don't be 'boring', do something out of the box

Your photoshoots. Every Photographer researched means at least 30 photographs taken.
10 Photographers = 300 Photos MINIMUM

Your final piece. Your should understand, research, plan and present your final idea. 
This is a DEEP DIVE into one subject....not lots of little subjects.

Developing your work.
Your ideas should relate to contextual sources of other artist's work and show that you really understand what it is they are doing.

Your work should show how you have experimented with your photographs and used the techniques of others' work. Your idea should not result in only 1 outcome, but many!

Your work should all be well recorded and made clear within a sketchbook. This should be presented well and can often be as important as the work itself that you are creating.

The final piece presentation is key to showing the audience exactly what you were thinking. Use formal elements and formal language demonstrate your finished creations.

Order of Attack

  1. Identify what your theme/idea is going to be

  2. Create a basic Mind-Map that shows what your ideas could be for this theme (CANVA?)

  3. Head straight to Pinterest to create a NEW BOARD and add some pins

  4. Identify what you want to focus on specifically within your theme. This should be a DEEP DIVE

    1. For example, Environment > Conservation > Sea Pollution > Local Pollution (Cornwall)

  5. Identify your first photographer/artist/Brand Campaign

  6. Fully Research them. Including some of their work!

  7. PHOTOSHOOT - At Least 30 Images

  8. Make sure you understand the STYLE of their work - remember, you are not copying them exactly, you are using them for inspiration

  9. Repeat steps 5-8 9 more times at least

Begin with a mind-map - get your ideas down on paper.
Try using CANVA and BE CREATIVE.

Head straight to PINTEREST if you are initially stuck for ideas.

Remember, let your Artist research direct your thought process.
