Proposal

For this project I will be photographing football the main reason for this is I have a huge interest in football photography and I haven't done in a project before and it is time for me to show what I can do with different types of camera and what I can do when I am not taking action shots.

I will be photographing mainly close up shots of people whilst playing football, I will also use a few action shots as well. For this project I will be using a digital SLR which will be a Canon 40D, a compact and film camera. This will be done as I want to see how different the images and what I can try to achieve by using a wide range of images. I will be taking the images in colour this is because I feel that football images look better in colour, though there are some images that I feel look really good in black and white, I will experiment with the images to see whether black and white or colour work. All of the images that I choose as my final images will be displayed in a book as it the main part of the assignment. With these images I hope to show all the different ways that football photography can be done and that it isn't all about the action shots and that it can be quite artistic.

When it comes to access of the locations, all the locations that I will need permission for, I already have so that will be no problem whatsoever. When it comes to equipment, I will require three different cameras, I already have a my Canon 40D the digital SLR and the compact the Canon G10 all I need know is a film camera, this shouldn't be hard to gain and I already have the film so that makes it easier for me. I will be looking at many different types of football photographers for my research so that will help and inspire me when I take the actual photos. I already have created a week by week plan so as long as I stick to this I should be okay with my project and get it all completed on time and professionally.
