Ideas for Portrait Part 1

The brief for PEP 110 labelled portrait part 1 at first confused me a little as i commonly associate portraits with images of people whether that be formal or environmental etc however this one requires us to consider space and lighting without any need for a person to even be in the image. The idea slightly throws me out of my comfort zone however i feel i will be a great excuse to experiment and try out various equipment.

I intend to capture various types of setting and location for example i would like to go to the church and capture the giant halls within, for this i would use a wide angled lens,a tripod and potentially some flash just so that i can fill in any unwanted shadow areas.

This idea could also lead me into an idea for portrait part 2 where by we have to capture images of people i think it might be interesting to take a flash out of the stores and go to the church to capture some portraits of the vicar as this will give me the perfect place to move around get lots of angles and there is alot of symbolism within a church which could further the narrative of my images.

My second idea for portrait part 1 would be to go down to the local rivers and streams and capture my exterior images using a slow shutter speed during golden hour to produce an aesthetically pleasing almost fine art kind of quality within the image.

That is all the ideas i have right now however i will be shooting various other things just to try and stir up some creativity and some of those images may also be used for my assignment.
