So we've started our first project now and even though it is just a short practice project, I am so excited to actually get some photography done! Its entitled "Postcards from the Edge" and it asks the students to "explore the city of Plymouth and produce a small body of work that conveys your impressions and perceptions of the city" and then select two final images to be made into postcards to send to family and friends!
The concept behind my idea is based on the fact that I was born in Plymouth and have practically lived there all my life, so I already know the city pretty well. With this in mind, I decided to focus on the more rural areas of Plymouth rather than the urban areas. I also decided to frame these photos in my own silhouette self-portraits as I am primarily a portrait photographer and silhouette portraits were very popular as postcards in the 1900s!
