Initial Ideas - The Establishing Image

These are some initial ideas I have for the 'Establishing Image' brief.

Isolation -
'A lack of contact between persons, groups, or whole societies'
For isolation, I'd like to steer away from people and focus on something more descrete. I think this may make a more interesting photo as the subject which will be representing isolation may not be as obvious as an 'isolated' person.

- Rock in sea - long exposure - B&W - empty background - rock and sea only things in image - really expresses isolation.
- Single tree in a large fied - strong composition is key - probably B&W.


Industrial Coast -
- Mines - external flash (recently learned how to use and very dark situations are likely - also adds a unique feature due to artifical light)
- Docks - landscape (clear establishing shot) - possibly a view over Falmouth Docks - shows size and range of activities within the area.



Community -
- Animals - group of same species to show community - diverse contrast to a community of people (unique) - birds, deer, sea?

REVISED:

As Falmouth is a seaside town with a large fishing and water based industry, I thought the coast guard would be a large part of the community.

My main interest in photography lie within sports and action. Therefore, shooting with the local coast guards is of great interest to me.

I looked them up and got a contact number and address for them:Castle Dr, Falmouth, Cornwall TR11 4WZ

Phone: 01326 310800

After ringing this number I was given 2 more numbers to local coast guards in order to organise a shoot with them at a trainin session.

REVISED:

I found out about Truro City of Lights which is an event every year that involves a huge community coming together to celebrate the turning on of the christmas lights. Small communities such as schools, university groups, bands, etc. parade through the streets some of them carrying huge chinese lantern sculptures. I have decided to shoot this event for community as the opportunity has come up.
