Photography Project: Restaged and Reimagined

This project looked at the exploration of constructing a photograph by reimagining and restaging an existing photograph using our own creative perspective and visual language. The goal was to learn how to conceptualise, plan, art direct, stage and construct a photographic image. 

Concept Statement

From the supplied list of photographs, I decided to work with Central Park New York ca. 1970 by Garry Winogrand. This image contained a group of young people in the streets of New York gathered together, with some people talking and watching and others playing frisbee. After analysing this photograph, my concept came about focusing on youth culture and the candid moments of being and spending time with people. My choice for the subjects in my photograph were my own friends and I wanted to capture them being their authentic selves whenever we are in a group setting.
