Produce a series of 12 portraits that give insight into the character and nature of four individual
sitters chosen from a particular group. Choose an organisation or group that has a broad
membership in terms of age and appearance, e.g. a pilates or Zumba group, a ramblers’
association, a local political party, charity or pressure group.
Interview your four chosen subjects and make a written record of how they see themselves and
how they feel about their involvement in the organisation or pastime.
As a photographer you may have your own ideas about how you would like to portray them. Make a written record of this and analyse the areas of commonality and difference between each subject’s view and your own.
Decide on some possible locations. These may be indoor or outdoor settings but photograph each sitter in one location only. The locations you choose and the composition of the images must reflect the group’s common interest in some way but also reflect the differences between each sitter within this overall area of interest. You may work in colour or black and white.
Offer each sitter/client a choice from your three best images of them. You should end up with 12 images, three of each sitter.
Your final image for each sitter will be the one that they choose, printed at A4. Include in your submission the image that you would have chosen and the image that neither of you picked. These should be smaller images (5x4”).
Write a brief account of this experience. For each sitter, note down why they chose the image they did, why you chose the image you did and why the third unchosen image was, in terms of this exercise, unsuccessful.
Before you start shooting, produce a statement of intent of up to 250 words and email this to your tutor.
