In my eyes, observation photography is a way of showing off what we find visually appealing. When you observe something, you aren’t just looking at it, you’re admiring it, critiquing it, decoding it, judging it, understanding it, all unconsciously. I like the idea of exploring a range of places, things, and people that we observe each day but take for granted, the small fine details most don’t notice with interesting shapes, colours and textures. Taking in the sounds, sights, and smells, hoping to translate them all into the photo is what makes it differ from an average photo.

In my project I want to explore the world around me and its beauty but in an abstract way, I will look for unusual angles and lighting which will set my images away from others. Despite this, I still want simplicity to be a big theme in my work, for this reason I will take all of my photographs in a square format to make them standardised but still unusual. I think my photos will mostly link with Rinko Kawauchi but I am going to explore other artists on top of this to try and broaden my possibilities.

Once again, I plan on making a photobook as I really enjoyed making the last one. I will also produce a few final prints which will most likely be mounted on foam board.
