I’m happy that we’ve been tasked this subject of wellbeing, empathy and altruism because how can anybody living on earth say they haven’t experienced or had an interest in equality, diversity or prejudice when it affects every single person each day some people worst than others. Though it’s hard to find certain ethnic groups in Devon i’ve decided to search within my local area and friends, family to sum up particular groups I socialite on a daily basis with, for instance hippies, stoners, skaters, musicians and maybe homeless people, the disabled and children who have special needs such as autism because I feel everyone is ethical in many sense’s depending on where a person was raised, who they are infiltrated with, and what he or she dose in there pass time but one factor always remains we are all human on a mostly blue planet.
Ideas
I’m going with my first idea that consists of mixing two different groups which don’t normally get seen together I’ve chosen the youth and elderly because of either the lack of respect from the youth or jealously from the side of the elderly wishing to relive there younger days, I also feel as if I can not help but notice it in the recent year as I have grown older and because of the certain situation that has made me recollect on the ageism topic I have decided to do. I plan to do this shoot outside hopefully on a sunny afternoon to shine as much positive vibes in which I want to make clean in the interaction between both groups, the main point to the idea is that it is met to celebrate togetherness and destroy the separation of social and cultural issues within all places where the old and young clash in terms of communication. The young individuals will be stereotypical skaters at a skatepark as a elderly couple or just single person is walking by, the younger group will become friendly towards them and then begin teaching how to skate because the more active action is shown will define the amount of happiness within the frame. Circus skills might be added in as one of the models for this shoot dose that as well as skate also this idea relates to the style of a photographer Chien-Chi Chang in the sense that I’m potentially capturing a particular moment almost like a photojournalist except the fact that one or two models are famed in the image by my choice because it’s too hard to find a decisive moment such as this but easy to create one, you could also relate some of these similarities to a actual photojournalist W. Eugene Smith’s. I’ll consider some of my other ideas to do as a few are pretty easy and I’d like to see how they turn out, if there good enough I’ll use them instead and write a whole other project proposal or add a paragraph to this blog explaining the idea.
