Statement of intent

When I first read this module description I thought it was going to be a huge challenge as none of the areas of photography grab my interest. Therefore it has taken quite some time to figure out what I am going to photograph and how.

I have decided to shoot my exterior architecture shoot in Leeds. As I live in Huddersfield I have already photographed most of the architectural building in the area for previous topics and personal pleasure. I wanted to shoot something modern and quirky which I thought I would find easily in Leeds. The weather is important when shooting and will affect the whole outcome of the final image. I have decided to shoot on a clear blue skied, sunny day. The blue sky will create interesting negative spaces when using different compositions such as, rule of thirds and framing. The building I am going to photograph is the Bridgewater Place, nicknamed The Dalek which is an office and residential skyscraper development. It is the tallest building in Yorkshire at a height of 112 meters.

For a previous module I had to build and set up a room set. This is a perfect opportunity for me to capture an event of significant. My aim is to capture around 90 frames showing each step on how the room was constructed. You will see the wall paper going up on the walls, the blinds and curtains and what the bed was made up of. I need about 5 frames in a second which will be the right speed for what I am trying to create. 

The cuisine shoot has been the one I am most looking forward to. We have been put into different group to make it easier for us and the catering students. They will be coming up to the photography department in the next couple of weeks to discuss what food we will work with and which is the best way to set it out. The catering student will when go back with our ideas to practice on the dish so he will know exactly what he’s doing on the day of the shoot. Hopefully we will all decide on something as this can be difficult when working in a team.
