Skateboarding- a hobby enjoyed by stereotypical rebellious youths. Within this shoot, I hope to convey a variety of different shots displaying the youth subculture within this hobby. My reason behind using skateboarding and my location is because I believe the two interlink very closely together. My location for this shoot will be South-Bank Skate-park because the colourful graffiti on the walls here work very well with the skateboarding aspect.
These photos will be inspired by Marc Vallee, Dan Boulton and Sophie Days because these photographers all interlink with skateboarding as a common element. All three of these photographers work are displayed within my research log blog post. I have chosen these photographer for this shoot because I personally because there work has had the most influence on my work.
For the skateboarding, I hope to display a variety of different skills which I have learnt. Starting with GIFs. As shown on my GIFs techniques posts, I think this would work really well with the element of skateboarding because it would enable my audience to view the sequence of this hobby. I would also like to use the technique of editing of sequencing. However, I do not own a tripod and as I will be traveling up to London for this shot, it would be very hard for this to work. I intend to try this technique anyway- by putting my camera on something to secure it, yet it may not work. Additionally the technique of blur could become very useful in this shoot because is would enable me to show to my audience the movement of the skateboarders. Using the worked learnt by photographer William Klein can become very useful within these shots- this photographer combined the technique of blur and documentary in order to capture raw images- a style of photography I hope to explore within this shoot. As I do not have any friends who are able to skateboard, I will be shooting this in a documentary style- using whoever is at the skate-park at the time to take photos of.
