Photo discussion with Steve

Had a discussion with Steve this evening where I outlined the two areas that appealed to me for my final photo project.  I highlighted that I like sport portraiture and portraits of old people.  The sports interest comes from my interest in sports from an early age but primarily track and field as that is where my personal interest lies, although any sport portrait that highlights the athlete form I'd be happy to explore.  My willingness to explore old people through photography comes from the interest in the stories that their faces tell or show.  I am a big believer that every line, scar and body feature tells a tale about that person so will hopefully interest other people when they view them.

I would happy to explore either subject matter but as my first love was track and field once upon a time I will endeavour to find some models who will help me explore this area further.  I will try and take some shots, once I have willing volunteers, in a relevant location, i.e.- track, to explore ideas and techniques and then hopefully bring it all together within the studio.
