IMAGINATION TAKES YOU EVERYWHERE

This series of images was my final piece of assessment for semester 1. We were asked to produce a folio of twelve images around a central theme (3 portraits, 3 still lives and 6 opens). I decided to look at the natural and organic imagination that children have when they are young and how they are losing it sooner and sooner. This beautiful process of letting your mind create your fun is slowly being replaced with television, video games and the monopolised toy industry. Because of this idea I decided to avoid using technology as much as possible when creating the photographs. Everything in this series is shot on 35mm film, negatives then scanned and colour corrected digitally. There is a loose chronological narrative to the work that is orded as if spanning a single day of adventures and wonderlands (although the actual series took just over 2 weeks to shoot).
