Practical Research - Peer Review Action Plan

Currently investigating - photojournalism and reportage
What I have done so far and feedback
  • I've been looking into galleries and exhibition, such as Ai Wei Wei's as well as other photographers' works. It was a good starting point in terms of understanding their content and purpose behind their photographs
  • Since I am looking into capturing mundane elements and non-staged photographs, my peers suggested capturing daily occurrences or elements that perhaps people wouldn't generally notice due to busy lives
  • Another suggestion was to consider: creating work about photojournalism or 'photo journalising' something.

Next steps

  • I would continue with the experimental route of collaging and drawing over the photographs. Perhaps a new form of visual language would arise?
  • Actually stepping out of the studio and taking those photographs as well as refining the content of my visual journal. What I would like to convey and how to convey? A final outcome has not been decided, however I do wish to create a zine or either use my visual journal as a collection of my journey/discovery
  • Practitioners to look at (suggested by peers) - Martin Parr, Yoshiyuki Okuyama, Garry Winogrand
