For this project of time I chose to look at movement over time through dance. My chosen technique of photography will be snapshot photography where images will not necessarily demonstrate ideal camera techniques but will instead focus on capturing moments in a general dance lesson. This will be achieved by lowering the ISO on the camera, increasing the shutter speed and spending some time in a studio viewing lessons and keeping alert for interesting and unique moments to capture.

For my own project i will work from these basic characteristics of snapshot photography to create my series. In particular this will require me to focus on taking lots of photos capturing moments rather than careful placed and idealistic photographs. This works well with my subject as dance as movement occurs very quickly and it one takes a split second for the perfect position to pass

After analysing my chosen photographs I have chosen to elliminate my initial concept of a series through long shutter speed and am instead going to focuse on capturing moments. The style i am now aiming for is more of a snapshot style of photography where images will not be perfectly positioned nor layed out prior, but instead capture the essential moments of dance (similar to my initial brief). This can be achieved through use of a low iso and a very fast shutter speed to capture these very brief moments of time and recording them.
