My Idea's



So a Landscape is usually seen as a scene containing grassy hills and fluff white clouds in a bright blue sky. Lets be honest though, this may be a day to day view in the south of France but England hasn't got that level of consistency it the weather.
At the moment it's really thick Fog so I'd quite like to take advantage of that in my photographs.

So my Two ideas that I'm toying with are taking Andreas Gursky's view on Landscape and use man made buildings and human involvement to create my photographs.

So, my Two ideas:

1. I'd like to take a Photo of a Roundabout from a pavement and then 4 other photos from the centre, all from different directions. I'd like to do this to show how the Roundabout  see's us and it's surroundings rather than how we usually view it. Although this sounds a very simple idea, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that not a lot of people walk on to a Roundabout to see what it looks like the other way Ie. Looking out.

2. I'm captivated by Gursky's use of height to change perspective of how we see the world. With this in mind I decided to find the tallest building in Hartlepool, that I could legally climb and where it was possible to set up and shoot the 5x4 Field Camera. The church in Church Square (right outside CCAD) seemed a perfect viewing ground for my potential series of Photographs.

I will take pictures for both of these ideas and decide which I feel make the better set to print.
