The Brief

After looking at my summer work and the brief given, I decided to go with 'Urban Influences'. I have always been inspired by architecture; it has always stood out for me as it can be so striking. The ideas of how the building came into existence and why it was designed the way it was, is fascinating. My eye automatically looks for line within a scene; even in a normal situation, my eye catches interesting shapes that are created through the lines of a variety of objects. I always take in my surroundings wherever I am; I like to study people and their body language, the buildings around me, the atmosphere of where I am and what creates that, the smells, the colours and many other things. So to choose the concept 'Urban Influences' and be able to create work based on all of these factors is perfect for me. I enjoy photography, therefore one of the first things I am going to do it venture out and collect images. My summer work focuses on architecture in France therefore I have a base on which to start; I'm going to use images I have taken on holiday to kick start the project. Nevertheless, I can't forget I live in such a striking city; I might as well use it!
