For this project, I aim to produce an online blog showing my progress and research whilst working on my collaborative project with Penarth, along with a portfolio that contains a selection of my strongest images.
Originally when starting this project, my initial idea was to document the life of a working farm in Penarth. However, as I did email several different farms, unfortunately none of them emailed back to give a reply, as I obviously couldn't spend a lot of time waiting around I therefore came up with another idea which I think will work out better for me.
As my title is commerce/industry I am going to look at Penarth pier, and focus my project around the different industries that are on the pier, including the pavilion, cafes, ice-creaming stalls and the fishermen that sneakily fish (fishing is banned on the pier). I decided to chose the pier because of my previous research looking into Penarth I discovered that the main attraction and industry in Penarth is the pier.
I will be researching different photographers so help influence within my own work, one photographer I already know I am going to look into is Martin Parr, particularly his work showing British stereotypes. In my photos I don't really want to show the 'cliche' seaside photography that is crowded with people, instead I want my images to be very simple and spacious, definitely influenced by contemporary landscape photography where the mood can be seen as quite 'mundane'.
