Shoot 2 Proposal


The idea behind this project is to capture the creative processes of an artist while making a composition such that we can identify particular techniques and processes used in the making of a final product, and the change in time over it’s creation.

For this concept I want to photograph artwork that has many layers that make up a composition, so that in the final image creates a new and different composition that relates to the final product, but does not exactly mirror it.  Firstly a time-lapse would be set up in front of a bare wall before any painting has been done, and is set to take photos as the piece is progressively finished. Then the photos are superimposed into one composition to effectively capture the artwork “en process”.

These idea is to identify the techniques and the process of the artwork; the darker and fuller colours will hopefully show where the piece was started, and both the final layers and the mistakes will appear as ghostly transparencies. The final images will hopefully not be a snapshot of a final product, but more a hybridised reflection of the initial and final points, and the time and techniques used in between.
