PHOTOGRAPHY- WITNESS

Photography Brief: Produce a response to 'Witness'


Witness is borne and puzzles come together at the photographic moment which is very simple and complete. The mind-finger presses the release on the silly machine and it stops time and holds what its jaws can encompass and what the light will stain. Lee Friedlander :







MEANING
One who can give a firsthand account of something seen, heard, or experienced.
see, hear, or know by personal presence and perception: to witness an accident.



BRAINSTORMING 

- 'Looking through...' e.g. window, hole

- Looking from the corner of your eye

- Something other people can't see 

- Illusion - something you thought you saw, heard, smelt

Seeing things that aren't there, or are blurry/hard to see

- behind closed door

- real witness statements 

- making the audience the witness 



Something other people can't see : Take a picture of someone doing something suspicious but then reveal that they are not dangerous

Change your original idea : Think of situations that could look weird but when you see them clearly they seem normal
