Methodology Creative Process

In a lecture covering the Methodology brief, we as a whole group of photography students were encouraged to think of 10 quick ideas within 1 minute to empower our creative process and come up with some initial ideas to focus on at the preliminary stage of our development process.

In the list, I came up with these quick ideas:

• Timeless locations - Looking at locations that never change, despite an ever advancing world. This would likely focus on places that are surrounded by technologically advanced areas, but the place itself doesn't. Wasn't sure about how strong of an idea this was.

• Fractal's in Nature - This project would focus on the natural patterns that you could find within nature itself, namely fractals, symmetry, and similar stuff. This idea would need more depth and more of an objective.

• Double identity - Essentially this idea stemmed from 'the portrait is a lie' which was my essay title, I am exploring and experimenting with the idea that females present themselves in two different lights - a casual hidden and care-free appearance usually at home, and a dressed up, modified version of themselves when 'out' at clubs or parties. This idea calls for an open discussion about make-up and natural beauty. 

Ultimately I wanted to explore the 'Double Identity' task more, as it's exposure would help people consider that girls are not explicitly required to present themselves as something they are not, where they could just as easily go to outings with a more natural appearance.
