So I'm broken up from uni for the Christmas holidays now but my P5 module is nearly finished, which is very exciting! I think I'm done with the final layout (it's gonna be a photo book) so the only thing left to work out is the title. I'm thinking it doesn't need to be long.... just a word or a short phrase to subtly indicated to the viewer what the work is about.
So these are the final images in the order they are gonna appear in the book. The first image is going on the front cover and where there is a wide shot and a detail shot of the same coat, this will be a double page spread.
This is a uni project I'm working on at the moment. We've basically be given free reign to create a narrative piece about anything we want and my idea is to photograph the coats that get left behind in the cloakroom of a nightclub for months and months. I find it fascinating to think who the people are that are either not noticing that they don't have their coats any more or can afford to leave them behind.
I've been very lucky as the manager at Play nightclub in Hereford has allowed me to do my project there and these are some of the shots I took on my first shoot there.
This first shoot was a bit crazy but by the end I worked out a composition that I like although I think I need to frame the images a little wider so as the context of the cloakroom becomes clearer. The end product is going to be photo book so I'm thinking of presenting each coat with a close up of it's label as a double page spread.
Clearly there's still some way to go but I think so far, so good.
