STUDIO PRACTICE Project Proposal Name Blog Address Sophie Poole Date 30/01/2017 http://s-poole1417-sp.blogspot.co.uk/ Rationale I will be creating a book based on research I will collect about people and human emotion. The main focus of this project will be reportage, all of my research will be primary and focussed on city life in Leeds, the ups and the downs. The research will involve people watching so that I can really understand my subject in order to create atmospheric images that convey the particular emotion. I will also be creating a set of prints taken from spreads of the book. The main process I will be using for this project will be monoprint. I am keen to explore how I can push my skills in this printing process as it is a process I am very confident in. In particular, I will be taking influence from Matt Craven and Drew Tucker in terms of process as they both create emotion and atmosphere in a way that I admire.
