i have visited the city centre at night/early hours of the morning on 4 different occasions now and have a solid body of images from which to select my finals.
i am planning on titling the appropriate images with the time at which they were taken then placing them all in chronological order as to create an almost time line effect of the events that would occur on a night out.
i have looked a lot at the guardian website, reading articles regarding british youth culture, binge drinking and ladettes, as well as researching into gangs and alcohol related crime.
In addition i have looking into "snapshot aesthetic" and other photographers who have utilised this style of photographing, for example the likes of Nan Goldin, Richard Billingham, Corinne Day and Natasha Caruana.
In addition i have read sections of the following books, all of which have aided my knowledge for this assignment;
Feminism and youth culture - Angela McRoobbie
Photography at the dock - Abigail Solomon-Godeau
Whores and other feminists - Jill Nage
Photography a critical introduction - Liz Wells
Camera Lucida - Roland Barthes
The burden of representation - John Tagg
The photograph as contemporary art - Charlotte Cotton
Street Photography now - Sophie Howarth and Stephen Mclaren
Art Photography Now - Susan Bright
Susan Sontag - On Photography
I will now concentrate on selecting the photographs which will form my final set of resolved and appropriate images.
