Time, Narrative and Constructed Photography

Briefing on assignment:

Research- For Unit 7 I have been given the task to identify 3 photographers of my choice that includes a strong relevancy of work that in which based around the set theme of "Time Narrative and Constructed Photography". Once chosen a minimum of three photographers, the research of each individual will then critically analysed in depth about each photographer both from a descriptive and analytical point of view in addition of reviewing examples of there work which will then be clearly annotated.

Further progression on Unit 7 I will maintain a constant connection between my research and the work I produce that would be influenced by a selected photographer that I will choose to develop out of the minimum three photographers or more.

I will also mention in this project the specific aspect of analysing the characteristics and context of each given theme. In this case I will answer how is the photography I look at and the researching, affected by a wider social/ political/ cultural factors? What kind of photography is it- what genres would the work be categorised under. how is it used and where has it been seen by the public?

Throughout the course of research work on Unit 7 will write a reflection using "The Gibbs Method". This will consist on writing about how useful it was from my point of view and I went about it, as well as undertaking what I have learned and will that feed into my work (I.E the more I learn from this current assignment, the better understanding I will have on comprehending a wider perspective photography as a whole that will be now more familiar to me in comparison to the when I first started this project)

Gibbs Reflection cycles that I will follow:

One of my own personal parameters I plan to achieve is to complete the theory side of this assignment in the early stages of the project, in order to increase the period of time I spend on my practical work, so that I have more time to experiment with various techniques that I hope to include when producing my 4 individual high quality images.

Practical work- It will be necessary for me to experiment as well with other projects and as well as developing my practical work to ensure I overcome any problems enabling me to produce high quality outcomes. At each stage of this process considered as trial and error, when doing this I will make a record of what I do, why I do it and how it has affected on the development of both the idea and my practical skills.

For this I will use the same concept of Gibbs reflection but for my practical work that I will then Blog when completing an experiment concluded whether it was successful or not. (will also mention why was or was not successful- how I plan to overcome the error- how I could make the experiment better than the overall success it had originally have me.
