Images & Theory Project Summary
David Abraham stated that "it's your own way of seeing the world". This project will examine to what extent does ethical compass influence a creative individual's practice in reportage? Communication is essential to the general public and there are various ways to present meaning. Visual language is one of them. It is a common method of communication, which can be seen through any form of visual art.
I will examine how creative practitioners decide what to include in their work? To a certain extent this touches upon self-censorship, unveiling the truth, incorporating other cultures without appropriating them, social responsibilities and ethics. John Vernon Lord said drawing has a considered approach, being less instant than a photograph and is more reflective. Stories could emerge from those hand crafted imageries. I would look into reportage in particular because it is journalistic in nature and has a strong sense of storytelling either mundane things or a much more sensitive topic.
