I have chosen to explore a day in the life of a photographer as it is something I have an understanding of and I feel that I can add new depth to the public perspective.While many know about the images produced by photographers many do not know the day to day life of a photographer. I plan to show this by juxtaposing both studio scenes of setting up a shot , or developing equipment, or even just reels of film to show the process at while including the finished product , or image, as a background to the internal process. I will include quotes by famous photographers about the process. I would like to incorporate either negative holders, film, or polaroids as a framing mechanism. If I use film I will of course include images on the film. I plan to shoot all of the photos I will use and incorporate them into the piece. For this work I want to have the photographer be central to the instruments and final outcome of their work whether represented as an eye or a camera. I imagine the final project a s a series of parts each blending into one another with the camera or eye being the central focus of the finished work. I chose these two elements to represent the photographer because essentially the photographer is both a walking eye and a camera. The camera is modeled on the eye and a photographer tries to represent what they see each and every day with their work. So by simplifying the photographer down to their essential components I believe I will , as the project evolves, create a dynamic composition that fully realizes a day in the Life of a photographer.
