Further thinking...

I was looking at some of my past work recently and came across an image that I shot in second year as part of the write your own brief assignment. It's a photograph that I particularly like and really like shooting it, however at the time of it we were not really encouraged to make bodies of work, so it is a stand alone image.



When I shot it, I wanted the image to have a really eerie and supernatural feel to it, and for it not to be fully clear what was going on in the frame. I wanted a sense of the unknown to be present where anxiety and tension could be built up to make the viewer on edge.

And so I've decided to develop this idea into my Theme, working on the premise of the unknown with an eerie feel to it. I understand that this again is partly more a technique in shooting, but working with the idea of the unknown could be an interesting idea to work with. I still feel unsure of what I'm doing, however I want to work with this, research into it and shoot some images to see where it goes.
