After receiving the brief, my small group have decided to base our exhibition idea on the concept of "Realms of the Unknown", a different take on portraiture photography by delving into alternative ways of photographing the human body.
We have been asked to create a festival idea based upon the ideas of other international and local festivals that take place focussing on photography and showing the work of small and world recognised photographers. We have to produce a series of 6 images relating to the theme we have chosen as a group.
New York Photo Festival
All photographers work to a theme, which last year was Resolution. All submissions that are chosen receive a prize, and it explores the matrix of art photography and social documentary The festival is held online, as well as live events being held by 4 curators.
PhotoMonth - Krakow
The theme this year is fashion, and photographers are chosen before the events rather than have to enter a competition. This year photographers such as Corraine Day, Walter Pfeiffer and Milou Abel are working with the festival.
Fotofestiwal - Lodz
This is the first photography festival that was ever festival that was created in Poland, there is space for various forms of photography and a forum for discussion on specific pieces of work and the festival as a whole!
My chosen photographer for the research towards my festival is Maurice Heesen and their set of photographs titled Muerto Feliz.

I want to go all out on this brief and compose a series of photographs for this brief that represent what I find interesting within portraiture. Heesen's images are graphic, and therefore could not be shown to everyone without a disclaimer. Therefore, I need to think about the content of my photographs and if this would be suitable to visitors of all ages, or just 18+.
