I am a photography student who had spent many days indoors thinking up different ideas or techniques that I could use to express myself, drawing on the resources that I had. Admittedly, I found it quite frustrating and my inspiration/creativity was greatly lacking.
However, with these photos, I had a simple idea in mind:
Since London was constantly having ‘tier restrictions’ lifted and then placed again, I spent most of my days indoors, on my laptop, watching TV shows or scrolling aimlessly on Instagram.
This had a bad impact on my creative ability, as I would place all of my boredom onto spending the whole day on the internet. As a result, I took a close up photograph of my eye to imply how my eyes are 'glued' to the screen and how I am unable to look away.
The other photo aims to show how my attention is solely focused onto the screen in front of me, and that I am uninterested in anything else.
I think that applying my creativity to photography is quite rewarding and fulfilling. Once I complete an idea, it greatly helps in aiding my state of mind, as I find it to be a healthy 'distraction' from the pandemic. My attention is completely focussed on the project and its subject. I research and compare until I'm satisfied that I have enough context to illustrate my own ideas.
Both photographs were inspired by the opportunity presented to me by the Brandon Centre,Young People’s Project ‘Multiple worlds - My Life Online and Offline’
