Photography as a Shifting Narrative – Initial Ideas and Inspiration

Irene Fenara

Michael Swann

Photography is a subject that particularly interests me when it comes to the idea of Making and Breaking Narrative. A medium once seen as purely analytical or journalistic is now considered an artistic discipline of its own.

In my work for this project, I want to explore the dichotomy between the analytical and the expressive. Looking at old family portraiture and exploring how these photographs can be pulled apart into fundamental photographic components, including the pixel and warped colour. Through this project, I hope to make a comment on the role of photography in creating narrative and how the manipulation of these old photographs build on, or perhaps break up these existing narratives.
