Developing my ideas- A jeweller...

I began to focus my ideas down on to this idea of a 'jeweller' and how their hard work contrasts and is undermined by the extravagance of the final product. I began to examine how i could portray all of these themes within 6-8 photos, and began to think of what would make a good photo and what there would be to actually take a photo of.
Ideas;
  • Close up of hands working on a delicate item.
  • Close up of gold dust, metal scrapings on wooden bench.
  • Long shot capturing the whole workshop.
  • Any tools or equipment that are different/fascinating.
  • The jeweller himself working.
  • A final product. delicately cupped in the hands of the jeweller.
  • A low angle, along the floor shot capturing the busy feet at work, the rough and dirty floor.



When looking through the limited pictures on the Internet, i found that the ones i found the most fascinating and engaging were the ones in black and white. This has led me to experiment with the use of black and white, or even a lower saturation in the editing of the photos i take.
