1. Unit 57: Photography and
Photographic Practise
Project Proposal
(P2, P3, M2, M3)
By Ashleigh Darlington
2. I plan to have more of an
urban kind of theme, at the
moment I sort of want to
follow the styles of Andrew
Brooks Photography, he
takes lots of pictures in
Manchester and I like the
David Hackneys Photography
photo’s he takes and I want
some similar to his, I would
also like to edit my pictures
to come up with photographs
similar to David Hockney’s,
this is something I would be
able to do on Photoshop after
I have took my photographs.

4. Predicted final outcome
My plan is to take at least
around about fifty images to
ensure that I will be able to
choose ten images that I will
want to and be able to use as my
final images. I will mainly be
focusing on taking pictures of
tall buildings and streets to
create the urban theme that I
want.
I will be taking some of the
pictures in black and white and
some in colour, but I want to edit
my pictures also and I want
more darker colours with dark
contrast, I hope for pictures like
5. Reasons for selection of theme
I have chosen to take images
in Salford Quays because I
want urban images and I think
it is great for that, as there are
lots of tall buildings and
streetlights, there will also be Example of the tall building that I will be
quite a lot of people there capturing when taking my pictures in Salford
quays.
which will help with my
theme and the skylines and
the traffic. I am following the
styles mainly of Andrew
Brooks as he mainly bases his
photographs in Manchester
and is an urban photographer.

6. Inspirations:
Andrew Brooks Photographs of Salford Quays
I really like Andrew Brooks Photography and I would like to take pictures very
similar to this as he is one of my main inspirations.
7. Inspirations:
David Hockney’s Photography
David Hockney is know for editing all the pictures he takes, to give them the weird
collage effect and I really like this and I am planning to do this with some of the
pictures I take myself.
8. Inspirations:
Clifton Carr Photography
Clifton Carr takes more rural types of images, however I really like his work,
especially the reflection photo that has been took in the water with the leaves, this is
one that I will definitely be trying to replicate.
9. Techniques that will be used:
I plan to use the rule of thirds so
that I am able to capture the tall
buildings that surround Salford
quays but I will also get the sky as
well as I will have the buildings at
the far end of the photograph.
I will be using a camera flash for
most of the photographs that I take,
this is so that I can bring out the
colour of certain objects on the
things that I am taking as I want
very bright distinctive coloured
objects that will stand out against
darkish urban background.
This is the kind of thing I want with the dark
background with bright flowers as the objects.
10. Date, time and location:
We will be going on November
19th and we will be there from
9.30 till 12.30.
The location is Salford quays.
