Research

I have started thinking about possible directions for the project and have been influenced by my own interest in analogue and "retro" style of photography. Could be an interesting direction? A lot of my favourite artists work in very traditional ways using film and darkroom and I am also interested in alternative processes, like the work of Keith Carter - http://www.keithcarterphotographs.com/images-shadow.html

Seems almost back to the origins of photography, which I find interesting. Could look at influence of victorian imagery. Also found / archival photos? Many movements such as the arts and crafts movement are very process driven and this is an angle that appeals since my work is always very process orientated.  Could also think about "return to past techniques and hand made rather than mass produced", interesting concept in photography since it is by nature the original "mass produced" art, with usually no real "original". Need to look in to how the arts and craft movement affected photography and if some kind of different take on this idea could work.
