The briefs...

For this project we have been given two briefs to choose from. We have to select which competition brief we would like to follow and between 4 to 6 images must be presented for the submission.

Option one: British heart Foundation: Red for Heart
i will be required to produce a series of black and white or colour images including red somewhere in each image based on the following competition brief:

''the theme for the competition is red for heart. The only rule of the competition is that res must be incorporated somewhere into your photograph.

You don't necessarily have to feature hearts, but think about heart as a theme and what that means to you. As we are celebrating our 50th birthday on 2011 the picture could capture an element of celebration. beyond this, the brief is open to interpretation and we encourage creativity.''

Option two: Sony Open World Photography Awards: 'Exposed' - Creative brief
I will be required to produce a series of black and white or colour images based on the following competition brief:

''The aim of the brief is to produce a photograph that explores the theme of 'exposed'

Your image should draw on the themes explored within the Tate Modern's Exposed: Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera exhibition.

We want to see your creative response to these images and ideas. We'd like to see how you think the themes affect the world around you. Consider the increasing use of surveillance cameras, camera phones and the circulation of images in the media and on the Internet. Look around you and observe different ways we experience 'exposure' through imagery.

We are looking for a clear image to represent the above themes. Your photograph should record and communicate the essence of your idea''.
