Well back from New york now and straight back to working on my projects, its all starting to get a bit more serious now, the fun first few months of going out and getting to know everyone are kind of over as people are starting to realise what this course is all about and that photography is not an easy subject!! I am one of those people, I always knew it was going to be tough though, but I am hoping to thrive off of this and use it to make me work a lot harder.
I have to produce a series of portraits and I have spent a long time deciding on who and where to shoot!! well it suddenly came to me.... I recently joined a gym... feeling I ate a few too many MacDonalds in New York!! (in fact i had nothing healthy at all!!) well... anyway, I remember looking at Collier Schorr's work last year at college...
she did a series photographing boxers during and after their training, so my idea was to get the personal trainers and the 'sweaty, no make-up' public to pose for me in the gym.
I have already asked them and a few seem keen, so i need to sort my model release forms and plan a practice shoot to get an idea of poses and locations within the gym. I am not sure yet which camera to use for my final shoot, I really like using medium format, but I don't want to make too much of a scene and disturb the gym, I basically don't wanna annoy them and for them to tell me to bugger off!! otherwise its back to the drawing board for ideas!!!
