Project Ideas & Plan

 

Name: MARY MUTHONI

 

Major Project Title: CITY AND URBAN LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY

 

Progression Route: MEDIA COMMUNICATION


Describe your major project objective using the SMART acronym


I will create a photographic project that will collect between 8-10 images. I will be using the concept of City and urban landscape photography inspired by James Maher and other photographers who do this kind of photography. I will loan the equipment that I need for my project from the school or alternatively if the school is not back to loaning due to covid-19 I will download an app to improve and develop my understanding of manual photography techniques.


Why have you chosen to do this project?

Because I am interested in photography and I would like to learn more techniques in photography and because it is a field under media and communication of which maybe I would consider to do it in detail after the foundation year.


Who are you researching for this project? Please list at least three media producers, authors, musicians, photographers, etc.

 

James Maher

 

Ansel Adams

In his cityscapes, Prokos’s pictures lengthen the sense of marvel associated with degreed detail in an urban skyline. In his subject area pictures, that he's best famous, he captures the customarily unnoticed aspects of contemporary and style of architecture. Prokos uses each medium- and large-format camera, typically using long exposures to capture wealthy details and imbue a way of motion. His work feels modern.
