The primary reason I chose this photo is because I really like the composition and perspective and was looking forward to experimenting with those things in my own photographs myself.
When we were first briefed for this project I thought that the pastiche wold have to be a exact, or near enough replica of our chosen photo, so I was glad to be told that it wasn't so much about finding a place that looked very similar to the place our chosen photo had been taken but more about drawing strong inspiration from the way the created the image, looking at both the technical and conceptual sides.
I took out a Bronica SQB and went to Broadstairs, where I had found out had some picturesque cliff faces. When I arrived and got down onto the beach, I took a few shots of the cliff face in as much the style of Jem Southam's photo as I could. I decided to play around with the perspective in my images more and started taking photos of the rows and rows of beach huts Broadstairs has along the seafront.
My next post will be about how my negatives came out and how my printing went!
