Throughout my third and final year, I decided to make Film Photography and Photomanipulation my main area of focus for my Individual Programme of Study. Specifically, the various different ways in which a photograph can be treated and or manipulated – before and or after the photo has actually been taken. I also wished to explore and examine the way in which environment, text and composition can also play their part in the successful deception of the viewer. Through exploring these key themes, I created three outcomes of which heavily revolved around the multi-faceted idea of perception and the many ways in which perception can thus be changed and altered through subtle and simple manipulation. i.e. the lens of photography and print based media.
