Statement of Intent:

The working title of my project is “Shine”. The reason why I chose “Shine” as my working title is because I would try to reflect my photographs on light. When taking any photos, using the lights are very important. That way, I wanted to focus on light itself on this project.  To make light reflect on the subject easily, I would try to take black and white photographs. Although there are almost no photographers who tend to take photographs that reflect light, I got inspired mostly by Lee Friedlander, who used shadows and black and white photos. That way, I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs by Lee Friedlander that show reflection upon light and adapt his special techniques. For example, from the photo below, there is a shadow( which is made by the light of the sun) created in front of a woman, which makes the photograph abstract. It creates a dark mood and it is a good example of street photography.  I want to try to take photos that are similar with Lee Friedlander. Moving on,  I want my audience to feel impressed on focusing on light that can be different in colors and shape. One unique aspect of reflecting light is that there are a variety of lights to reflect. Therefore, my topic is not limited in terms of color and shape.  The techniques that I would use are black and white technique, as stated above, and additionally use the techniques of abstract photography. The important point in abstract photography is that the subject of a photo is unrecognisable but it is beautiful. When there is light added on to the subject, the audience might not know what the subject is, but might perceive what emotions I wanted to deliver.
