Week 1, Controlled by the enviroment

So I've decided to start this blog to upload all my research onto.
I was planning on using a sketch pad for week one, but to no avail as my computer downstairs wouldn't open any of the documents i wanted to print out.
Week one we were asked to take photorgaphs in the style of -

• CCTV
• Police Identity Parade
• Passport Photo
• Police Mug Shot

I unfortunatly didnt get paired with anyone in my first week as there weren't enough people in the group to go around so after emailing several of the tutors found that for my first week i could do the first assigment alone until i could find a partner to work with for the other weeks.


WHAT I THINK A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT IS:

I feel a controlled environment based in photography is a photograph taken out of the control of the subject, all the images we've been set above are images that have to be taken by strict guidelines by an establishment. Either the photograph is taken by the authorities or there are strict guidelines given to the public in which their photograph should be taken.  
I found some interesting facts and information out about all the subjects we've being set to take photographs of and I've found that the Police Identity Parade and Police Mug Shot as well as CCTV images are taken by an establishment against the persons wishes and are often unwanted photographs that are kept archived for many years. However Passport Photographs are used by the public and although have to be taken to strict guidelines are usually wanted photographs to be used on ID cards, Driving Licenses, Passports and other such cards and passes that can identify a person.
