Today we watched a documentary by Martin Parr called "think of England" which was about interviewing people on what it takes to be British. I found this documentary interesting as it showed the younger generation and the older generation and what they thought on not only being British but it also showed how different the two generations live. After we watched this documentary I decided to look into his photography work, which I quite liked. I found a body of work he did called "bored couples" which was basically photos of couples out and about looking bored. Here is one of the images that I liked and found that was quite similar to one of the images I took whilst we were out on a shoot.

Martin Parr - Bored Couples

Shoot plan

.Go around town and take photo's of things that capture my attention
.To go into places like the market, cafe's etc..to take photo's of people in their day to day life.

 

~After shoot~

I ended up taking some cool photo's in the market and funnily enough at KFC, I got some nice shots of Jordan which I really like. The images don't really show "what it is to be British" However I still liked them and think they look very street photography.

 

During the afternoon session we looked at statistics on things that we found interesting. I decided to look at the statistics on religion. I found the religious aspect quite interesting. This could link into my photography shoot/project because I think I'd like to do something based around culture/religion because it can be so fascinating to know about other religions/cultures as they're probably so different to mine.
