Disposables

After researching Jo Spence’s work I came up with a plan to experiment with her thought process. I want to showcase imperfect imagery that has a much more interesting narrative to the over posed content we see on social media.

I like the idea that with a disposable camera you cannot pose for the perfect picture. The user has no screen to view themselves and no way of checking the photo back. The photos produced from disposable camera are usually much more candid and imperfect. I decided to contact Instagram influencers and ask if they would help me with this project. I sent them a disposable camera in the post and asked them to shoot the times of the day that they usually wouldn’t post. It is completely up to them on what they shoot but I asked for the content to be related to the reality of being a women in todays society.

I think the results will be an interesting juxtaposition to their Instagram pages and I hope to inspire them to post raw content. This is acting as a test shoot and idea for my final major project so I can change any variables that maybe do not work.

I have not received any cameras back yet so I do not know the results.
