Having explored the concept this week of photography as an interdisciplinary field, I’ve spent some time reflecting on whether my current photographic practice is interdisciplinary and how I could expand further on this.

I am already focusing on aspects of documentary photography which may have its roots in early interests in journalism and film. Social and cultural commentary are present in my work already and this draws upon earlier studies in psychology. Within my current practice I explore urban art as an integral part of the urban landscape and the social commentary it provides.

I would like to expand my practice by learning more about Fine Art photography and how this can be combined with street and documentary photography to create something more contemporary. I would like to explore surrealism, Bauhaus and expressionism as art movements that could inform, develop and deepen my photographic practice.

My interest in the urban landscape is closely linked to the architecture of places as well as the historical, cultural and geographical elements within these landscapes. Studies and research across all these areas would be extremely useful for contextual research and project development.
