Photographic Fictions

DSDN244 - Project 1

Henry Lawrence

Proposal

• My original intentions for this project revolved around the

study of trees as isolate objects. By including the plaques

planted in front of the trees, I felt I could give it a bigger sense

of age and through that making it a narrative. It didn't work the

way I intended, so the idea was dropped.

• For the project, I focused primarily on the study of people, in

the subject of shop owners with objects they feel are prized possessions. I initially kept it to owners of dairies, but then

discovered that a wide variety of professions would be more

interesting to see. Possessions are very personal things that

mean a lot to one person, and little to others. I want to focus

also on clean framing, ensuring the subject is looking at the

camera, and that the subject's item is large enough in the

photo.
