Newtown Wellington lies in the southern part of Wellington, The Wellington City Council District Plan identifies Newtown as a suburb with an "identifiable or distinct character". What I hope to capture in my shoot in this space is the contrast between the unique and idilic decor of this town, aginst the grunging run down character that needs some 'tender loving care'. Newtown can have such a beautiful and characteristic house, stood right next to a graffiti sprayed run down shack. This unpredictable change is the situation I'm trying to find and express to others.
Research is going to be a massive part to this assignment, I hope to learn from others, the best ways of capturing the everyday seen objects, (for example a house) and create it into a masterpiece and then go from that extreme to the total opposite, capturing a run-down disaster. Although I also hope to find the unseen ways of capturing the suburbs characteristics, for example show newtown from behind a perfect picket fence instead of the picket fence being the main object.
This project is giving me a great excuse to explore my hometown surroundings and see for myself the beauties that lie within an older suburbs, and then also visibly see how it is so easily destroyed.
