The document outlines a photography student's plans for an experimental photography project exploring the theme of obsession. The student will produce multiple images using double exposure and Hockney montage styles at home and school where equipment is available. Images will be taken of subjects related to TV, music, and films to show what obsession can look like and its effects on people. Contact sheets will be made to select three final images for the assignment and include extras for a portfolio.

1. Planning
Location:
My house/York College
Date/Time:
Equipment:
Camera (Nikon L120), Tripod, Computer/Mac, Photoshop.
Experiment:
I am going to study the theme of obsession after discovering something new. This will allow me
to have a wide range of opportunities and subjects to look at, such as TV shows, music and
films.
The styles of photography I will be using are mainly Double Exposure and Hockney Montage’s
because these two are the styles I like the most. I may attempt to create a Multimedia image but
this may not make it into my final three images.
I will mainly work from home so that I have all I need for my images readily available. For the
rest of it I will work at college so I have the right equipment to construct my experimental
photography.
I will produce many images so that I have a good selection to choose from for my final three. I
will also create a good range of images so that if some photographs aren’t that good then I will
have back ups to choose from. I will probably create a couple of copies for each image (apart
from the multimedia ones) to practice the technique and just in case some of the images don’t
turn out too great, so I have back ups.
They won’t all go to waste though as I will put them all on a contact sheet to keep examples of
all the images I took and to showcase all of them, hopefully improving my final grade. It will also
allow me to view all of the work that I did, which could be good to use in a portfolio of my work.
In my images, I will show what obsession can look like and what effect’s it has on people. I have
conducted research into finding out the results of obsession and it’s effect on people and I have
already experienced it first hand. With this in mind, I feel like I will create some good images and
pieces of work for this project.
