DSDN 144 Project 3- Light

For this new project based on light, I was given two options on how to approach this topic. One choice was to explore a pure study of light (seeing how it relates to photography, how it can produce different abstract forms and what happens with its abscence in the form of low light photograph)y. The second option was to pursue a more grounded approach to light in relation to objects.

Some of the ideas I had for the first option (the pure study of light) was to present the idea of how lights act as guides in a particular space or how it has objects that help to guide (traffic lights, cars and decorations such as the street lights in areas)or how lightcan expose a place. For my second option, ideas I had that came to mind included the idea of how lights can be used to reveal certain details in objects or how lights enhance our vision from within certain objects.

In the end I decided to go with the idea on how lights can act as guides in specific locations. I have decided to go with this idea because nowadays lights are generally used in many forms (torches, candles, traffic lights etc) to help guide us and generally, we don't seem to realise just how useful this is to us as humans. The area I have chosen to photograph for this project is the grounds outside Parliment. I have chosen this particular area above others such as oriental parade is because the grounds outside Parliment have a lot more space for me to explore and create a succsesful set of photos for this project and also because the area is heavily marked in grass areas to help ensure that the area follows through in my set of photos.
