Darren Johnson as shown in my research log is the main inspiration for this shoot because he shows different settings as backgrounds with youth silhouettes in the foreground which I find really interesting. Another photographer which has inspired this shoot is the work of Richard Sandler (also shown on my research log), even though the photographer takes images differently, the use of editing is really interesting which I can take from.
The techniques I hope to use in this shoot is the use of movement in the flames and also depth of field, showing the fire in the foreground and the subjects in the background. Even though the fire will be set up, I will have my subjects standing around but won't tell them when I will take the photo.
The main inspiration for this shoot is the news coverage of 2011 London Riots. Mediation formed a huge stereotype upon "Yobs" during these riots as a form of ideology of protection, an attempt of scaring families in order to keep their children at home and "tamed". As shown in the newspaper front cover on this blog, you can see the destruction that is being caused and the implication that the subject is the one who created this fire. Even though I do not have access to take photos of the riots- obviously as it has already occurred and also I can't take photos within a riot due to lack of access but all danger. So I hope to take the factor of fire to create a negative view of youths within my audience. The reason I have chosen this for this shoot is because even though these specific riots occurred in 2011, the view of youths being destructive (as the ones in the riots newspaper coverage) is still relevant today.
