Summer holiday assignment


So this is the assignment that kept me from dropping photography and start enjoying it again!


One self-portrait per day:
"It involves taking a self-portrait every day for two months or even longer - the only rule is that you have to hit the shutter button and at least some part of you must be in the photo."

We were also advised to look at the flickr group 365 days.

Four strangers:
"This is going to be the start of our main project next year. The idea is to approach someone you've never met before, ask if you can take their picture and talk to them a bit to get some kind of a story about them.

At the moment I've been looking at the portraits of Erika Svensson as inspiration for the self portraits. I looked at her before, but did not pursue these ideas fully.


Introduction

After originally intending to drop photography after a dissapointing exam project at AS, I decided to carry it on because I thought the A2 project looked pretty cool. So this is my A2 level photography project! If anyone does decide to read this, then I hope you enjoy my photographs and accompanying comments, but, as I expect, this is just gonna allow me to organise all my work as I put it all into my sketchbook. Here we go...
