Yes it’s a football chant but it also reflects your uniquenesss, your identity.
What are you about? Why are you –you? What makes you different from other people? What makes you the same?
For this exercise, use either a mobile phone or a small but cheap digital compact. No DSLR or bridge cameras. You’ll also need a large lump of Blu-Tack or plasticine to put your camera on or stick the camera into. This is your tripod – it will stick into corners, on shelves, etc., where you would struggle to put a full-sized tripod.
Photograph yourself for three days. If you can, take roughly one photograph per hour.
If you miss an hour you can’t take two shots in the next. And you can’t repeat it if it goes wrong, if somebody moved, etc. Aim to show your feelings, your moods, your quirks, your belongings, your environment – the things that make you into you.
Produce eight images that, together, create a profile of you and explain what there is to know about you when read from left to right in a particular order.
