I feel that up until this point  my ideas have been too surface level; I wanted to visually represent The Bright Young Things, but have found this very hard to do without either recreating images I have previously taken (see figure 1 and 2 below), or just grasping certain visual elements from that era. While I know that I could go into more depth of the social conditions and behaviour of those that were part of this group, this doesn’t feel like a direction that I want to continue in. I think that the potential intentions within this theme, are quite fixed, even looking at specific concepts like escapism, this for me still feels restricting in some way.

I feel at this point, it is very important for me to find a focus that can direct strong and meaningful intention in my work. My favourite images so far into the project, and of my work in general, are photos where the viewer is drawn in instantly without any thought at all . While strong emotive qualities can to some extent, be portrayed through colour and composition, for me the images that are most powerful, arrive through spontaneity,  and being more in touch with being immersed in the creative process. I love images whereby there is a nameless quality about them, one which cannot quite be articulated through language alone.
