24/24

We were given a brief in which we were asked to take 24 photographs on 24 given themes in 24 hours. We were also limited to using disposable cameras, which limited us but put us all on an equal start. As I was unable to view the images as I would be able to on my digital SLR camera, I had to frame the shots perfectly and get each shot right first time. When my photographs were developed, I found that the camera had cropped certain photographs down from what I had seen through the viewfinder. This was a useful technique but was very challenging and frustrating as I was unable to tell if I had any successful shots or if any would develop. I had chosen to use a gold decorative photo frame to frame the subject of each image to go through the series of images as a recurring theme.
We were able to revisit this using our own cameras, which enabled me to view each photograph I took on my camera screen, therefore I could see if each shot worked as I went along. I decided to change the theme to a journey. When I looked back through the 24 images on my computer screen, I realised that only a select few of them were successful enough to present. These images tied together, as they were of entrances/exits of places with no people in them, which created quite an eerie atmosphere. I will need to expand on these few to develop this idea, possibly into a future project.
