- Photograph Tower Hamlets and produce a lookbook that shows how the stereotype of 'ghetto' is wrong
I like this idea, but I feel it is quite cliche and has definitely been done before. This would be the obvious answer to this brief.
- Show the benefits of gentrification in a before and after lookbook, stating the facts about gentrification and its' positives.
There are a wealth of positives to gentrification that are overlooked and I feel this could be a fresh perspective on the issue that has not been explored.
- Photograph already gentrified neighbourhoods and superimpose elements of stereotypical 'non-gentrified' behavior e.g graffiti to send a message about how culture can be an artform.
I feel this is an interesting take on gentrification, as usually gentrification is the process taking over, instead of de-gentrifying a neighbourhood which would be a direct resistance to the former.
I have decided to choose the latter idea as I feel that is the most interesting way of looking at the issue and resisting against the cause. I also feel this will allow me to be the most creative as I can use fresh, clean expensive housing as my digital canvas to convey my perspective on the issue.
