executing the idea!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So I’m worrying! or is that panicking!!\u00a0 I have my idea and I’ve taken a couple of test shots.\u00a0 I like my idea, but my struggle now is how to execute it within the time scale I have?<\/p>\n

I don’t want to be forced to do something else or not feel I’ve achieved my plan to the best of my ability because of the fact that I am at work pretty much all of the time there is daylight at the moment. aaaaaargh!!!<\/p>\n

test shot<\/p><\/div>\n

Although this photo isn’t exactly very artistic, I was testing my idea of watching people, comfortable in their own spaces, coupled with the reflection of what’s on the outside. Inspired by Mona Kuhn’s work, which I really connected with.<\/p>\n

When I took this one, I was also struck by the fact that you can’t actually see his face.\u00a0 This gave me the idea of ‘seen but not seen’<\/strong>, you know that he’s there, but you can’t really see him, it reminded me of the glimpse of people you get in their homes as you pass by.\u00a0 They are comfortable and feeling secure in their private spaces but in actual fact they are still partly visible to the outside world.<\/p>\n

So my challenge is to execute this idea and make the images interesting!<\/p>\n

The time of year isn’t helping with this! so do I consider night time images? or street photography, or do I put this thinking on hold and consider something more manageable in the time frame. I could simplify it to the reflections, but I do like the human element;\u00a0 \u00a0hmmm . . . . off to ruminate . . . . .<\/p>\n
