Today I spent my afternoon taking images (using just my mobile phone) as development towards my narrative photography project, whilst at a place I spend a lot of my free time at. I thought this would be a good starting point to gain ideas towards creating my series of narrative images.
When taking the photographs I wanted to narrate the locations meaning to me and to portray a narrative to others that makes them ask questions about my photograph.
After looking at my photographs that I took on my phone this afternoon I think that the images work well in black and white and I think that greyscale would be effective if I were to persue this idea of reflection (for example meaningful locations). I believe these images are better in black and white cause I think that automatically makes it look more like a documentary image which makes us question what is being documented and that gives the photograph a narrative.
I believe that if I was to persue this idea I would use black and white film as I personally prefer prints over digital photographs due to the quality and tones of greyscale that can be produced when creating prints.
I am not certain I would like to develop this idea further and I am going to continue taking images to gain direction to producing my final series of narrative photographs.
