ACPP – Environmental Portraiture
Statement of Intent
Having witnessed the diverse range of customers that visit my families business, a small marine business that is located in one the old arches at Ramsgate Marina I have decided to investigate the diversity of the customers through photographing the customers, individually, along with the item that they puchase.
My intention is to seek permission of the customer to accompany them back to their environment, where possible, and photograph them along with the item before it is used. I will explore the transition of the physical item as a commodity to an element of necessity and to show the relationship to its new owner through photographic juxtaposition of the the item, the new owner and the new environment.
I anticipate meeting fishermen, wind-farmers, engineers, firemen, council operatives, and many other tradesmen, along with cross-channel swimmers, boat owners, cyclists, and both British and foreign tourists. Due to the year round fluctuations to the customer base I plan on making this an ongoing and long-term project.
