"Cultural Appropriation"
Here are some images I have made during lockdown. Our theme was cultures and tribes and I have explored different ways to question social issues around cultural appropriation. I have done this by using fashion photography as a starting point with my work as fashion is often associated with cultural appropriation that can often insult particular religions and beliefs. I am still exploring new ways to explore this genre safely and respectively of other cultures.

i-D Magazine
For this FMPI experimented with different photoshoots in different areas including places that were both inside and outside. I decided to do the FMP based on a photography journey including the highs, lows, struggles, fear and success. For the front cover, we had to ensure that one eye was covered, I decided to use this picture for my front cover as I believe it was the best image to use and gave an insight as to what the magazine was about. I liked having the comparison page as it shows that you can improve in time and that you can see a better result as you go on, which makes you want to carry on.

I liked how for pages 2 and 3 the colour of the grass from the top one sort of corresponds with the grass from the bottom and I like how I used a quote in order to talk about success/talent and how the writing is done to stand out.

Exploration
These are all very divergent pictures which helped me to represent different aspects of my journey towards my final images for my project. With my project looking into helping the planet, pollution and global warming, I decided to look into the relationship between people and the environment. However, I later got pulled into looking at the relationship between all three. How us humans treat the environment. How the environment treats the animals and how the animals live in the environment. I show this with my final image. The meaning behind that photograph is if us humans don't stop littering and polluting the planet. The animals will all become extinct. All that we will have left behind to remember them by is drawings left by the older generations.

Animals
I have exhibited a collection of photographs representing the distinctiveness in a variety of animals. I would label myself a nature enthusiast, so I endeavoured to go beyond my comfort zone to incorporate my love for animals in my work. I produced contrasting styled images. For example, portrait style images that enhance facial features, as well as landscape images to include different environments. My sole purpose was to simply capture the beauty in animals that we humans take for granted.

Identity and Empowerment
I have exhibited a collection of photographs to explore identity and empowerment amongst young women. I wanted my work to be an expression of their personalities and let them pose however they liked. This was an important aspect of my project as I wanted them to impart their own energy and feelings into the portraits. All the portraits are black and white as this focuses the expressions in the photos and I feel it comes across as more powerful. I also felt it was important to take photographs of them in a different location other than the studio to see if the portrait was more dynamic and whether the model felt more comfortable when there was less pressure put upon them.

Behind the scenes of Carp Fishing
I have exhibited a collection of images and drawings which represent different aspects of the work I have produced this year. I have produced this work so people see what is behind the term fishing. I wanted this to mostly look at habitats so people know of the dangers when fishing along with the importance of fish care. If a fish is handled badly on the bank, it can result of them becoming too stressed and might end up dying.

Sophie Green
Cultures and tribes
I have exhibited my work on photography changing over the past 10 years because I wanted to show a different perspective on the theme of cultures and tribes and think outside the box. I also wanted to show how social media can help photographers to push their work out to wider audiences. For the presentation of my work I was inspired by Richard Prince who did an exhibition where he showed other people's photos from Instagram but he used manipulation to make it his own work. My work was focused on consumer tribes and how this type of tribe has influenced trends and styles within photography. The main genres I focused on were landscapes and portraits.
Ethan Hancock
People and their Gender Identities
I have submitted a collection of images I have taken for my FMP Tribes and Cultures and my complete final piece for the project. The theme I chose under ‘Tribes and Cultures’ was to study gender and different identities under the gender umbrella. I hope to show my own opinion and others' feelings through images I have taken and the art I have produced.
Asher Hill
Zooming In
I have exhibited a collection of macro photographs of a different range of flowers which show the details of flowers that you don’t normally see from far away. I zoom in onto the little details and veins that we can’t see with our eyes. I want to show you the true beauty of nature and what it holds behind the normal masks.

Ethology
I have exhibited photographs that contrast with ethology while expressing the idea of cultures and tribes and the difference between every species. Not only did I expand on the idea of ethology I explained how species are affected with global warming, adandment and much more. I wanted to raise awareness within the topic of ethology and much more. Even though the project has come to an end, I am not stopping here. Every image that has been presented is from this project and they all connect to each other through the idea of ethology and how it contrasts.
Kate Langley
Beauty Within Life
I have presented a multitude of botanical photographs and cyanotypes, which indicates the meaning of ‘beauty within’. I decided to choose this topic as not many people notice the beauty of everyday life around them. To do this I photographed using the composition of close up to capture the details you wouldn't see through the natural eye. With the theme being based around botany, I have developed and explored different ways to produce creative photos and with the exhibited pieces I have not only shown my main point behind this project but developed fully detailed photographs with context to each individual piece. In the leaf cyanotypes, I find that the bold navy blue and the white prints show the details very well as they have managed to develop the minuscule details extremely well and reflect the significant structure of nature that you wouldn’t see on a day-today basis. The photographs reflect the beauty of nature as well as the beauty of people.
Jessica McMillan
Escaping Reality
I have a collection of images which represent escaping reality. With my theme being Harry Potter, I have explored different ways to create a Harry Potter theme and with this image being one of the images that turned out really well, I have not only created a portrait but also provided context to the image. The green lighting with the yellow lighting is representing slytherin colours, while i had my friend wear a slytherin robe so I could get my image to match the theme of Harry Potter as much as possible. I chose this theme because of lockdown and not having anything to do, so I thought about how people would let their mind wander while reading or listening to music as a distraction or an escape from reality. So i wanted to do a theme of something that was easy as i do a lot of daydreaming and as during lockdown i got to watch all the Harry Potter films and i got inspiration from the films.
Alfie Nunn
Musical Statement
I have exhibited a collection of images that show emotions through various forms of music. With my theme being music, I have exploited different ways to show emotion through editing images and the way I adjusted my models' positions. I chose music for this presentation as it is something that reflects me as a person and how it relates to emotions.

Black is Beautiful
Black is Beautiful
No, I am NOT a team light skin. I am NOT a team dark skin. No I am NOT a team brown skin. I am team Melanin because we are one, I am a BLACK QUEEN that celebrates all shades of Black beauty, Black women and black girls are equally beautiful in every shade, our skin tone is exquisite beauty. Respect the complexion.
My work was based on black identity /culture and what makes black people beautiful, so I looked at fashion, hair, and black photographers and many more.

Pre-Raphaelites
The photographs I have exhibited are inspired by the Pre-Raphaelite art movement. The Pre-Raphaelites managed to capture beauty in a pure, realistic way by returning to the example of medieval and early renaissance painting ideals. I aimed at re-capturing something which is so forgotten yet so beautiful, through my own use of photography. My three portrait images replicate the painterly side of the movement by my use of colours and composition, forcing the photographs to almost look like paintings themselves, whilst the others tend to lean towards the beauty of nature and the pre-Raphaelite saying; “to go to nature, in all singleness of heart... rejecting nothing, selecting nothing.”

Masked Monsters
I have exhibited a collection of photos I’ve developed throughout the FMP which, for me, represent the ideas around the variety of personalities and personas people put up when around different people. Specifically mine. To show this visually in my outcomes, I used face paint on my chosen subjects inspired by the art style of Francis Bacon and picked colours that matched me and my personality. The paints represent the masks (personalities) I use around different people to hide the things about myself that I don’t let others see - a more distorted version of myself. This version of myself was captured by a collection of images I gathered from a self-photoshoot, turning the images into black and white to take away the colour, twisting the atmosphere from colourful and full of personality into something dark and uneasy like the things I mask from people.

Through my eyes
I have exhibited my stylistic choices when it comes to photography and editing. These choices come from my mind before i take the photo, i visualise what I’m aiming to create then adjust accordingly. I aimed to create movement and abstract colouring and ideology. A lot of my colour choices come from cartoons i have watched in the past, the colouring and overall tone stems from my mood at the time. Through my eyes is a series I have done in the past to demonstrate how one's view can differ massively to others, as I believe 100 people could edit the same photo and they will all have a different outcome, in this project I am simply showing my perspective.

The Army
Everyone who is in the Army has the same goal just different levels of command. One big group of people fighting for the same cause. The same cause being that all soldiers are fighting for the same outcome, the outcome being peace. Both males and females but mainly men since men fought and women were paramedics. I would say that I want my project to be about informing and presenting the information in a visually interesting way.
Natalia Rej
Women’s Beauty
For my project I want to make work to inspire other people,
I wanted to include something I stand by and something that
Inspires me; so I chose women empowerment. The pictures are supposed to represent that every woman has an insecurity or something they want to hide away from society or others. Consider women empowerment movements, these images are presenting that everyone is different and beautiful and we should embrace these differences because they make us beautiful and unique.

This project was about expectations and how they have changed over the years. I used my Nan as an example to tell me about how expectations were when she was 16 and I compared it to how they are now in the 21st century.

This was a project about the age range of 16 - 18. My project was about being 16 in the pandemic and using FaceTime as a way of doing photography. I used FaceTime as a way of doing my project because most teens have phones and use FaceTime to communicate with friends and others.
