Object- Phillip Shannon

I found this photographer, Phillip Shannon, who has taken close up photos of objects.

I like the way in this photo there's the drink in the foreground and then theres the blurred outline in the background of the bottle. I like it because the viewer focuses first on the glass of alcohol and then on the bottle and even though it is blurred you still know what this is. I think this depth within the photo really adds to the photo as whole because there is more for the eye to look at. I think i will use this technique of having depth within my photo and use techniques of blurring, such as in this photo, within my own final photo.

Object- Brainstorm associating objects to social issue

I then decided to do a brainstorm on what objects could be associated to drink and drugs.

Object-Social issues Brainstorm

I then thought of some social issues that I was interested in, so i've made a brainstorm. Looking at all the things i've thought of, i've decided to do my project about drink and drugs because it think that this is a social issue that most effects me. As it is a topic that surrounds people of my age and university life.
