Keywords

This is the first assignment we've been given and it's a really broad one. We were given a list of 'keywords':

 Vibrant, speed, reflection, reflective, form, shape, texture, rough, light, dynamic, still, calm, cool, cold, urban, decay, natural, speed, slow, heavy, playful, relationship, link, communicate

We were told to go out and take photographs that represent a certain keyword either in a literal or conceptual sense.

I chose to go into Manchester as there's so much diversity there I was confident I could create 5-7 images in one shoot. Unfortunately the weather wasn't on side and it rained for the entire day but none the less I got some shots and I'm really happy with them. I tried to take a conceptual approach to my photos and wanted the audience to make up there own mind on what the word could be as some photos seemed to fit for 2-3 key words.

I'm really happy with how these turned out especially for my first assignment. I think I've got a good range of subject matter and I tried a few different things like shooting from the hip in order to get some of the shots. I gained a lot of feedback from the group critique and people really seemed to like the last photo of the 3 business men. This was my favourite photo as there's a real sense of emotion between them and they are obviously linked through work and something appears to be bothering them!
