Through analyzing my unassigned contact sheets over the past couple weeks, I've noticed that I've tended to rely on prominent sources of light; huge street lamp, sun, etc. As I have been in the past, I still seem to be leaning towards ideas of natural, in the moment type photography, somewhat unconsciously staying away from staged photo shoots. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm trying to experiment. I've been planning a lot of documental work outside of class and I'm slowly taking advantage of opportunities that have been presented, but I'm still working on expanding my photography sweep, as we are all.
If I had until december 15th to work on something around the area of richmond, It would be a series of pictures based around the back-stage lives of strippers at a gentlemen's club. I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time, but I'm not sure how this would work out. Regardless, I want to eventually try and talk to a club owner/dancers. Another Idea I had was to document different auto mechanic shops. Here are some inspirations:
Diane Arbus
Sebastiao Salgado
Henri Cartier-Bresson
