Ideas to include in your sketch books.

Remember, for all of these ideas you should find some examples of other artists work to link to & write about your images:

These are in no particular order and some images will fulfill more than one category.
If in doubt about which to include, think 'decisive moment'.

1. Colour contrasts
2. Depth of field
3. Movement ( experimenting with shutter speeds, moving camera with subject then keeping camera still as subject moves through).
4. Nature
5. Man made
6. Portraiture (with or without significant props). Studio posed and snatched.
7. Parts of the body (hands, back of the head, tattoos, scars, jewelry etc)
8. Twilight ( street lamps, looking into illuminated houses from the outside, shops)
9. Night (seafront lights, car lights, street lamps, parties, nightclubs)
10 Light and shadow, texture.
11. Black and white
12 Concepts: week in the life, hobbies, proportions warped (chocolate tin for instance)
13. Reportage: anything you are interested in Camp Bling, seafront alterations, a journey from start to finish, deterioration of high street.
14. Experimentation in darkroom: photograms, black and white film processing and printing, cyanotypes, pinhole camera. Include test strips & mistakes!
15. Experimentation in digital format: obviously Photoshopped creations, keep and include screen shots of process.
