3. • All of the photographs on the previous slide show
objects, scenes and people that have something
strange going on in the picture. This shows the
element of discovery, which is the theme of this
project. There is a technique being used or a nontraditional photographic method that has been
used to make the image look interesting and
imply the theme of discovery.
• One of my ideas for my photography project is to
take photographs that look like there is
something strange going on in the photo but it is
unclear what, it just looks strange in some way. I
want to make the photographs intriguing and give
them an element of mystery. These photographs
reflect what I would like to achieve if I were to
follow this idea up and look at the theme of
discovery in this way.

5. • The pictures on the previous slide use a high
speed photography technique. This helps me
to explore another one of my ideas. This idea
for my project is to take images that discover
exactly how something looks at a certain point
in time e.g. when a rain droplet falls into the
palm of a man’s hand. I want to capture how
certain objects and surroundings look just as
something happens.
• This idea links in with the theme of discovery
because it I would like to discover exactly how
something looks as it is happening at a frozen
moment in time.

7. • This idea is that I would like to create a
Hockney Joiner type of image that makes up a
whole face. I would like to take closer up
images of features and parts of people’s faces
and then fit them all together to make one
larger face.
• This shows the theme of discovery because it
is discovering the different ways that people
can look but also showing that in a way we are
all the same.

9. • Another idea of mine is that I would like to base my
project around the idea that things can look different in
different ways e.g. perspectives. I think that there is a
way that some people all see one thing, and that is the
way that it was meant to be seen. However when you
take the time and look at something a different way, it
can be seen differently.
• This shows the theme of discovery because it is
discovering how certain things can look in different
ways. I am exploring and discovering the different ways
that they look and can appear. I think that scanography
could be used to do this quite well as it shows certain
things in a totally different way to how they appear to
people. I also think that out of focus photography could
be used here, it shows things in different ways also.

11. • I would like to explore vortograph photography. I think
that it is will show the theme of discovery well because
the style of photography itself is intriguing and show a
sense of mystery. Vortograph photography uses the
technique of reflection and mirrors.
• I think that this type of photography would be good to
comply with the theme of discovery because it shows a
different approach to experimental photography. The
images that taking vortograph images create are
interesting and different; it is uncertain what the
subject of the photograph is and so it makes people
interested in it.
• I also think that this idea would be good for my
photography experience because it is a different style
that is not seen enough and I think that it would be
good for my portfolio.

13. • The photographs on the previous slide have all
been taking using the movement technique. They
all show elements of movement but they also all
show something stationary. I think that this
contrast makes an interesting photograph.
• I would like to explore this technique as an idea
for my project because I think that it links with
the theme of discovery in an interesting way. The
contrast of the stationary objects and the moving
motion blur discovers how a place can change
over a certain amount of time. It can also
discover how a place would look if somebody
stopped and looked at it whilst everybody else
was still moving around them and they just
watched the world go by.
