For this project I want to represent the process of a tattoo and the love, dedication and passion that should be put into it. I want to try and capture some of the emotions which the tattoo artist has when tattooing and capture several decisive moments. One being point of no return; that moment the needle first hits the skin. The second being the crossroads which the tattoo industry is in at the moment and the third being the decisive moment of the tattooists day; the time he feels most alive. The point in which he has worked so hard for and dedicated so much time to.
I want to work in black and white as I feel colour sometimes loosing emotion and people can get caught up in colour, sometimes getting distracted from the content of the photo. I want my final four images to make the viewer feel something deep within themselves. The images should portray an artist in their element and show how important tattooing, the tradition and the values are.
The local tattoo shop will host the shoot as they have granted me access to photograph in the studio and all artists have agreed. I need to make a model/photo release form and get them to sign and also get the people who are being tattooed to sign as they will be in some photos as well.
