We have been asked to create a series of photographs for a display in the millennium gallery. This will be as part of the theme of identity.
Concept Idea
Due to the theme of the series of photographs being identity I will be focusing on music as my subject. I will mainly be looking at live performances. This is as I believe that playing music is a great way to express your identity. I would be taking pictures of The Mayfairs and Ballamona performing live.
Target Audience
The target audience for my concept would be people passionate about music and the indie rock genre. Although this is a niche genre the audience for music n general is large.The images will be using instruments which can reinforce that they play and make their own music. This can appeal to people who play instruments. I believe that the age range for this series of photographs would be 16-25 year olds and predominately male.

Health and Safety

Legal and ethical considerations
- I must seek permission from the band and each of the band members in order to take photos of them. This is as I am taking photos in a location rather than a public place..
- Additionally I must gain permission from the locations in which I am photographing.
- I must also think about the representations of the stereotypes that I am photographing. For example some of the connotations and associations of indie rock bands can be drugs and alcohol. I don't want to be promoting these within my portfolio. This is as my work will be displayed in a gallery setting that will be open to a large audience of all ages.
- When taking my photos I should not misrepresent any of the band members. This is as it can be defamatory.

Contingencies
- Cancellations of events or No permission to shoot/ Could shoot at band practice instead
- Not being able to use equipment / Use cameraphone as quality is good enough.
