Statement of Intent:

The title of this project is: Portrait Photography

The societal/cultural issue I want to explore with my photographs is the social value and fragile nature of individualized work in an increasingly homogenized, consumerist society.

I want my audience to feel the hard work that individuals in society have put into their own shops and work to satisfy the consumerist market.

I will get inspiration and develop my ideas by looking for photographs that are shot in a busy environment with a person standing in the middle shot with an ultra wide lense.
