Portrait Idea

'Artists In Medway' 

My Idea

For my series of portraits i wanted to show the artist and how artists work creatively. I would like my location shots to be in a environment that the artists work for example a painters studio etc.
People i'm looking to take shots of are 
Painters, Photographers, Fashion Designers etc 

Contextual 

Through this project i will look at the art job sector, the way artists make money through there profession and also the struggles most artists can have while making a living doing what they love.

Influences and visual influences 

Arnold Newman
