Body Idea/concept
For the body unit I was started by looking at the elderly and the type of social clubs and
help there was available for them, as my nan at home is fully disabled and when mygranddad died she needed a full time career but refused to go into a home. She needed
somewhere to just to be able to make friends and talk to people. So as not to become
isolated and lonely.
- I went to Age concern in Chatham and the place and people there were really inspiring
.
My idea become about the people who go to this place and the idea of the elderly being
venerable but come to a place to feel independent and gain a social life that they might
have not had before. Its about showing the fun, youthful side of the elderly. Although
with getting older they are not able to do as many things as they used to they are still
young at heart.

These articles show how important it is for the elderly to be able to get to places such as the
Hopewell center,

The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings
KayLynn Deveney
These photographs really show the personal life of Albert, a man living on his own and caring
for himslef. They show a sentimental sympathy, although you can tell his happy in his own little
world caring out his day to day routines. The shallow depth of field and muted tones really add
to the sentimental feeling of the photographs.

I looked at Rineke Dijkstra as her photographs showed this transaction from childhood to
woman hood, you can see a slight awkwardness and vulnerability about them. Im looking to
show this transaction from adult hood to almost back to childhood as when you get older you
may need looking after again for certain reasons and there is a vulnerability that re appears asyou get older

Contextual Research
The Hopewell Centre is closing down due to
there not being enough funding to keep the
center running as they rely on charity funding
and a small admission fee from the people whocome to the center.
I looked into the amount of money that goes
into charities and charities for the elderly is
amongst the lowest with only 8% charities with
only 3% of the total amount of money goinginto charities.

I wanted these photographs to be my final images for
task one as they really showed the character of this man.As his memory, hearing and ability was detereating he
looked a bit lost and confused but was always looking to
his wife for what to do.
I didnt use them because I shot them at quite a low
aperture and I didnt quite manage to focus on his face
they was slightly out of focus so I had to re-shoot.

Final Image Task 2
I this photograph I wanted to focus on the one person but have the rest of the people in the
room gentally fall out of focus, I included the arm of the wheelchair that the lady is sitting in to
show her disability but I also choose this lady as she was so happy to just be there and be with
people despite her unfortunate broken leg. Also in the room you can see the buntings andentertainer for the day setting up as they was celebrating someone's birthday.

Object Idea/concept
Looking at teenage alcoholism and underage drinking.
- A realization of how young people are starting to drink from
- Binge drinking
- Drinking culture
- School children/teenagers drinking
- Damaging effects
- Parental influences
The amount of teenage binge drinkers there are is shocking and is a social issue that
needs to be tackled, through research it seems that parents are not to blame but can be
most influential on there children and need to realize that there children could be
drinking dangerous amounts.

My idea had narrowed down to
teenage girls binge drinking being the
highest in the western world, I
thought about showing the effects of
these and how venerable it can makegirls. Then I started thinking about the
reasons young girls/teenagers drink
and why there is such a big problem in
the uk. I started thinking that the
audience would be parents to show
the young age that there children maystart drinking as I think a lot of parents
are in denial about there children and
what they get up to when out with
friends.

This photograph links to my
idea as it shows how the
parents are actually giving
into there children's wants,
although this is only a top it
shows how parents can be tosoft on there children.

Richard Billingham
Bullingham photographed his father who had
a drinking problem, they was very much
documentary photographs. I was looking at
these to get an idea of the type of lifestyle
they live and I was looking at the furniture
and the state of the house. As this shows a
lot about how they care for the house and
the effect that the alcohol has them as a
family and there living conditions. What I
found from these photographs is that is a
very destructive problem and the
photographs show a feeling of not caring and
being discarded forgotten about.

Wolfgang Tillmans
I like how Tillmans uses photographs as an object themselves and the actual photographbecomes this object, also his use of darkroom techniques where he paints with light in
that he creates abstract images by only using light and the photographic paper in the
darkroom.
I would like to use my photograph as more of the object itself and destroy the photograph
showing the destructive effects that alcohol has on school children.

Uses mirrors to distort the image. Links with
my idea of distorting my images.

The black and white photographs where test shoots to check the composition and lighting in
the first one there was a strong shadow being cast that distracted from the object, where I
wanted the photograph the desk to be more in blackness almost in complete darkness, with
just the desk in the light, to emphasise the empty space around the desk.

I was aiming to destroy one of the negatives of this image and keep a normal one for a
contrasting print, but I didnt leave myself enough time to destroy the negative and get it
printed but I wanted to create a really destructed image of the school desk showing the
destructivness of alcohol on school children. Although this could have bordered on looking to
much like its just about schooling.

Photographed through glass
These photographs I took through a beer glass, I tested other alcoholic items such as vodka
bottles and beer bottles but these just become completely abstracted and you couldnt work
out what the object was. So I used the beer glass to slightly distort and blur the image. I really
wanted a more destructive image photograph so I could have had a battered up desk to show
more of the destructive side.

Doubled the negatives together
I sandwiched the negatives to
create a more blurred and
distorted image, this works
better as you get the idea ofalcohol being a problem and the
desk relates to school and school
children.

Final Images
This photograph was of two of the
negatives sandwiched together, one
normal and the other taken through the
glass, I felt that there wasn't enough blur ordestruction in the photograph. So then
experimented with sandwiching 3 negative
together.

I feel that this image works best as you can
clearly see the blur, but can also still make
out the object.

I experimented with using just the
two blurred photographs taken
through the glass. I think this works
well in showing the alcoholism but
makes it quite difficult to she the
object and become a bit to much
abstracted from the idea.
