In the Frame- Starting up

New Essginment is about shooting everything we see and make some kind of documentary out of it, without any decent subject or story behind it. To do this , first its important to do following parameters. Those I will consider while doing this project.
I'm going to start with things I am going to do first, and end with things I am going to do last in this parameters.


  • Choose your favourite places to see and to photograph, but without the camera, come back with your camera and photograph interesting things along the way. 
  • Make a spot circul on the map of Chester, and then document everything from the circul. 
  • Select specific places on a map. Once they are selected, walk along the way and take photographs 
  • While walking along the journey recognise decent sense (like: smell, touch, hearing, or taste), describing what I'm photographing. Trying to use a different sense each time 
  • Picking some texture , shape or subject in my location and shoot examples of it. 
  • Walk for some time around my chosen places, and stop to take several pictures of what is going on around me, while I've stopped. Making sure Im doing very random turns or go somewhere unfamiliar. 
  • Following pedestrians for some time but without photographing them. See where they will take me along the way. Take the pics of the views along the way. 
  • To find a place that interests me , and then turn around and photograph what's on the opposite side. 
  • Taking pictures in a Black and White colour for a guide of my photography prints. 
  • I have to use sit or stand position for a while. It could be either park, coffe, or bench or even gym. I need to photograph what I see while I stand or seat. including pedestrianise walking by and what passes by. 
After I take some decent shots I will put some answers bellow each point, like what I have done and what's my experience. 

Before I start to do all this, Im going to research something about photographs who does the same things, and maybe get some inspiration of them, or eventually do some more research about specific artist for more detailed subject. I'm going to try to research about at least 2 photographers that are familiar with this brief, my main source going to be , "google", library books, and youtube. The last thing helps me recently quit a lot. Listening and making some notes about specific subject is much easier than read the whole article or book about one person or one thing , and take some notes out of it. While Im watching documentaries about photography I'm making some notes as I go.
