Introduction

Welcome to my Blog. I am keeping this as a way to document and keep my research in one place for my Extended Project Qualification.

 

My EPQ title is: Exploring Cliques and Subcultures in Photography Through Self Portraiture. 
I plan to research into photographers of cliques and also photographers that use self portraiture. I also plan to research into the cliques and identify their fashion and life style. I will then take self portraits of myself in the clique's style and analyse my photography technique and loyalty to the subcultures style. I will also send out a questionaire to a sample of 17-18 year old students at college to see if I have communicated the sub-culture to them correctly.

 

The subcultures i will represent are;  

• Goth
• Pin-up/1950's Girl
• Rave Girl
• Punk
• Living Doll
• Mod/1960's girl
• Mean Girl/Plastic

When I create my survey i also plan to include a definition as i have found that some people although very familiar with subcultures didn't actually know that they were 'subcultures'.

sub·cul·ture/ˈsəbˌkəlCHər/

Noun:

A cultural group within a larger culture, often having beliefs or interests at variance with those of the larger culture
