INITIAL PROPOSAL
After taking into serious consdiration of what i wil be shooting for my final induction photographs, I eventually decided to take pictures of some of the many building across Lewisham. My main purpose of this photshoot was to capture the excellent Architecture of some of the building in Lewisham, this would hopefully be achieved the pictures taken from my photoshoot. I was influenced by living in Lewisham which means i have seen how the architecture has developed massively which influenced me to capture some of the more modern building in Lewsiham. I am also interested in Architecture and wish to study it in university. This inspired me to base my photoshoot on Architecture, I also believed a great place to base this photoshoot would be in my local area of Lewisham as I see the building everyday and belive i can therefore relate to them more than any other buildings. I would not need that much equipment for this photoshoot just my phone as my phone camera is very good. The main skill for this task is positioning because this is what will make the shoot succseeful for me. To make sure i get the best postion for this photoshoot i will try out at least 5 different angles for one puctures and choose the best from there. There arent many things which can have an effect on my photoshoot besides poor weather like rain. to avoid this i will take pictures at the time when the weather is clear.
Inspiration
I was heavilyy by Andreas Gursky. This is because he also takes pictures of building which i am doing for my photoshoot meaning i have closely anaylsed all his work before doing my photoshoot so i could see the best most effect times of days like night day as well as the most effect angles, which I believe really helped me make this photoshoot.

Starting Points
For my two starting points i have chosen architecture and history. the reason for this choice is because these two topics i personally enjoy. As i enjoy learning history as well as looking at beautiful architecture. history was one of my favorite subjects as i enjoyed learning about past historical events such as segregation in USA and Nazi Germany i have a huge passion for history as i find it very interesting. I also love to lean about the past and see how it effected the future such as World War One and Two and segregation. I also like learning about famous old building which brings me to architecture. Architecture is something i have a passion for and is what i wish to do in the future. Architecture is both the process and the product of planing, designing , and construction buildings and other physical structures.

His Art
Annotations
Robert frank's work is very unique to me as someone who use to study history. the reason for this is when anaylysing the picture s i begin to notice they look as if they have been taking in 1930 s america. Using my own knowleage i know this was a very tense particular moment in history especially for america. This was because even doe slavery was abolished blacks still faced segregation and was looked upon as inferioir. the fact that one of the images show a black women with a white baby send a stong image of togetherness as this was something which was very rare to see at that moment in time. the syle of his work is black and white because of the time period however he adds his own emelent which makes his work stand out much more. The first image has a sense of togetherness however the sencond image is the complete opposite and has a sense of isolation as they aren't even making eye contact. which is again a strong message. I belive Robert FRank many creativity is the messages he send through his art.

EDF Project Task 5 Photograms
Annotations
This task looked quite difficult and confusing at the first look at it. However when I was taught and shown what I had been asked to do for this task. I could easily do it. the first thing I had to do for this task was pick my objects, for example keys or a hair comb etc. After i had picked my personal objects and had layed them out as planned. I flahed the light from above on the shiny bit of the black paper for rougly five seconds. after i had shun the light it looked plan at first however once i had put it inside the bleech in about seven seconds I saw the layout beginnig to form and after 20 seconds it was over i had to put it in over three different types of bleech and after finish it off with water. And leave it to dry. I repeated this several times until i was confident in the work which i had produced. Amd finished with four differnent very intresting outcomes.
EDF PROJECT, TASK THREE - STYLE RESEARCH
Architectural photography is the photographing of buildings and similar like structures that are both aesthetically pleasing and accurate representations of their subjects. Architectural photographer are usually skilled in the use of specialized techniques and equipment.His means that it is more involved than just pointing a camera at a building and shooting away. As a building cannot convey emotions like a human subject, architectural photographers need to set a mood using ambient light. The photographer can also tell a story and make a photo more dynamic by displaying some of the building’s environment or by choosing interesting angles that show off pattern, contrast or repetition.Throughout the history of photography, buildings have been highly valued photographic subjects, mirroring society's appreciation for architecture and its cultural significance.
