In The Name Of God
Today, in a culturally rich and diverse United Kingdom, artists from many faiths now produce powerful artworks that reflect their own religions and cultures.
Architecture has been influenced by religion. Design and fashion is influenced by religion.
As a photographer, you should be aware and interested in the connection between artists, designers, architects and religion.
There is a huge potential with this project to develop it in many ways. The potential for dynamic and creative work is enormous.
There is an abundance of religious artefacts that you could photograph in a creative way. Use creative lighting and atmosphere to add interest to your images.
To begin with, I want you to take a positive look at religious cultures. That is not to say that in the future you will not have opportunity to connect religion and politics and take a critical approach to your work.

You could photograph religious meeting places, those who attend and those who work in them.
You could create your own photographic interpretations of religious writings. This could be a very creative way for you to work with others. You would have to take on the role of Art Director as well as photographer. |
Relationships are very important in religion. How could you capture this photographically?
You could photograph grave yards. Often associated with horror stories graveyards in fact give opportunity for people to reflect and pay respect to their deceased loved ones. There are many superb images of graveyards, stained glass windows and religious iconography. |
