Project Report

I chose to work with a number of people on my project in order to cover  number of different views and perspectives with regards to the subject of vegetarianism and veganism.  The people I decided to work with were all close friends of mine and I chose them because of the familiarity and openness between us which allowed for a lot of expression and creative freedom in the creation of the pieces.  The decision to work with friends worked very well for me as we were working in a relaxed environment in which they felt comfortable which resulted in some very natural and organic images as well as interesting discussions and conversations between us.  

Through discussing my initial idea for the project with my tutor, my proposal changed from something somewhat restricted into something more free flowing and explorative. Through simply discussing and exploring the theme of the work, I was able to elaborate on it and develop something much more substantial.  As I was actively working on my project, the idea for how it would be constructed and presented changed and the whole thing was a very fluid and constantly evolving piece to create.

My approach to this project was to be as progressive as possible with it.  I didn’t want to head out with a strictly laid out idea of what I wanted from it all but rather to work alongside people and explore the topics alongside them in order to create images that truly reflected the nature of the discussions and ideas.  I wanted it all to be naturally forthcoming in it’s development, without fabrication or pushing specific responses.  This approach was quite a big risk to take I think as it meant that I was relying on the people involved to be as engaging as I hoped them to be, rather than having a definite outline and plans, for example the ‘interviews’.  I had initially planned on developing a a set of questions for each individual regarding their suited topic but I decided that was too restricting could curb their responses somewhat.  Instead I opted to record us having a casual discussion about a number of things with a rough outline, which paid off to be far more interesting and fluid with some really good and insightful responses and interaction of ideas.  This method to my work I was able to create a lot of opportunities to develop the idea and outcome of my project. By not massively pigeonholing people or trying to elicit certain answers etc I was able to create something dynamic.

Here's one of my finished set of images.  With Laura I was discussing animals as companions and I think this set of images as a diptych works really, really well with clear focus of what the images are about.  I chose to put the images in grayscale as I thought they look more refined and polished but apart from that, I did not do much by way of editing.  I cropped and enlarged a little and changed the brightness where necessary but chose to leave them as close to the initial so as to not lose the original essence and natural spirit of them and the project.

Critical Evaluation

For our Medi323 Independent Module we were expected to create and develop an individually focussed selection of work that appropriately reflected upon and employed skills, understandings and experiences we have gained and developed through our time on the course.

For my project I wanted to create something that explored social and cultural issues and decided to use vegetarianism and veganism as a platform for this.  I wanted to create a series of images that developed a meaningful and engaging way of exploring these topics; something that changed perspectives and worked to be relatable and to work with the audience on a personal level.  To engage with an audience about the subject in a different way than is expected.  

As after speaking with my tutor I had decided to work with and focus on several elements of the subject in order to try and make it as broad and as accessible as possible, in order to think more carefully about these topics I turned to the documentary Earthlings for some inspiration.  The documentary film covers a number of different aspects relating to animal rights and equality including food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research.  The documentary film got me thinking more about the extended issues related to my project and helped me to think of individual themes and issues to cover in my own work.

To be able to achieve my goal, I began to look carefully at some of the big names in animal rights activism and their media campaigns.  One of the biggest and well known names in this sector is PETA who are renowned for their aggressive and assertive campaigns and are often involved in controversy regarding their approach to advertising.  I looked at one of their campaigns from a few years ago about the fur industry and began to question the actual effectiveness of it and the ways in which it is received by the average audience.  In an image where the focal point rests on the corpse of a skinned animal, it was gruesome and hard to look at.  Even as a vegan I found myself having trouble looking at it and I imagine it would have the same effect on others; it did not make me want to learn more about the issue and if anything I wanted to pretend I’d never seen it at all.  While it certainly made an impact, I don’t think it was a positive impact that did much by way of education or connecting with the audience.

In contrast to this, I then began to look at the work of some photographers who’s work I did find to be personally engaging and look at how they achieved that result, Specifically focusing on the work of Kaylynn Deveney and Andrew Ford.  I chose to look at series of works they had done that focused on individuals.  Deveney’s work looked as though the subject did not even know they were being photographed; natural, unpolished and personal.  These simple images were very intimate in the way they were presented, as if the audience were looking into someone’s like and so they worked on a very personal and emotional level I thought.  Ford’s work, whilst set up as portraitures, was still very natural and had a very honest air about them despite having being set up as a professional shoot.  I think he achieved this by working with the individuals in personal spaces, by doing this the images became small insights into the individual’s lives rather than just a portrait - again it added a very intimate feel to them.  I really liked how both of these photographer’s works were so simple in their nature and yet managed to so easily connect with their audience and it was something I wanted to apply to my own work;  honest, open and inviting simplicity that everyone could relate and engage with.

In order to try an apply this style to my own work, I approached my photo taking in the most natural way possible.  I had a rough idea of what I wanted from each individual, for example a portraiture style photo and then another image related to the main focus of their individual topics (e.g. a portraiture of Jake and then another image in relation to his family as he was talking about relationships and being brought up vegetarian) but I did not have any incredibly specific layout plans.  Instead I spent time talking with each individual and learning more about what they had to say with regards to vegetarianism and veganism and what was important to them.  This was done through ‘interviews’ which were also done in a very relaxed manner through natural discussion rather than through planned interview questions which is what I had originally planned.  I think this approach to the interviews paid off incredibly well as I believe I got some great insights and conversation that may not have come around had it been strictly planned out; it was fluid, natural and again very personal.  Having these discussions gave me more insight in to each individuals personal views on the subject and helped me to evolve and tailor my initial photo ideas so as to better reflect each of them on an a more intimate level.  As with the interviews, I think this paid off well again with me getting some images that really captured the spirit and essence of discussions and the individuals and I am very pleased with how they look.

Through this development of style, I was able to develop a lot meaning and understanding of my idea through the images themselves.  The images, when first viewed, could be of any sort of typical person - when you first look at them you would not think this was project exploring vegetarianism and veganism which is exactly what I wanted.  I wanted a set of images that were open for all to engage with and inviting to everyone, I wanted people to read about these images because they felt a connection to them and not because they were being affronted or bombarded. 

With more time and with more money i would have liked to have created a run of zines so people could have something physical to take away with them and stay with them.  I would also have liked to perhaps explore the project idea through video, making it a little more interactive and that bit more engaging; perhaps documenting lives of individuals in more details or something in the style of a documentary exploring the daily life of being vegetarian or vegan.

Through the way I approached my development of work I believe I have effectively created a set of images that flout presumptions of the subject and instead engage people in something they may normally avoid or not care about.  They are widely accessible and relatable and I believe it will change people’s opinions on vegetarianism and veganism as well as actively educating them.  I think working closely with friends of mine was a big contributing factor the success of it as it meant that all discussions were very open and organic.  It was a learning curve for ourselves as we explored more about why we have the lifestyles we do and it was incredibly refreshing to sit and talk about it with these like minded individuals; it was a great project to end my time at university with.

Some thought provoking words.  It will be interesting to see what is able to be said in a small amount of time by those involved in the project - hopefully I'll be getting some eggs of wisdom like these!

Top 5 vegan quotes of all time?

"Ask the experimenters why they experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are like us." Ask the experimenters why it is morally OK to experiment on animals, and the answer is: “Because the animals are not like us." Animal experimentation rests on a logical contradiction."- Charles R. Magel“People eat meat and think they will become as strong as an ox, forgetting that the ox eats grass.” - Pino Caruso“If they breathe they live. If they live they feel. If they feel they love. If they love they are aware. If they are aware they have a soul”- Anthony Douglas Williams “As far as eating is concerned, humans are the most stupid animals on the planet. We kill billions of wild animals to protect the animals that we eat. We are destroying our environment to feed to the animals we eat. We spend more time, money and resources fattening up the animals that we eat, than we do feeding humans who are dying of hunger. The greatest irony is that after all the expenses of raising these animals, we eat them; and they kill us slowly. And rather than recognize this madness, we torture and murder millions of other animals trying to find cures to diseases caused by eating animals in the first place”- Mike Anderson “Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they’re in the game”-Paul Rodriguez

Interview Transcripts

Laura Benson

I’ve been vegetarian since 2006 and decided to stop eating meat because of the treatment of the animals involved.  My dog, Rolo is one of my best friends - he’s a companion rather than a pet. You can connect with animals in a way that’s different that what you might first expect, you get to know them and they get to know you.  You develop this unspoken emotional bond and I think it benefits both of us.  We become a family.  It’s healthy for humans to have a connection with animals.  We’re animals too.

Jake Dalton

I was brought up as a vegetarian and I’m very thankful for it.  I was given the choice of eating meat when I was old enough to understand where my food came from.  If you’re brought up as a vegetarian then you’re allowed to make a choice later on without hurting anything, if you’re brought up on meat and then make a choice…that can be a really shit thing.  Neither my sister nor I have ever eaten meat and we have been completely fine with regards to our health throughout our lives; the idea of not being able to survive without meat just isn’t true.  I would bring up my own children vegetarian too for those exact reasons.  If they wanted to eat meat I’d make sure they knew exactly where it was coming from and if they still want it then they can go buy it.  I just want them to be fully aware.

Emma Strange

I went vegetarian about 4 or 5 years ago, going vegan a year ago, and in that time I’ve learned that advocates for animal rights and equality regularly have a negative stigma attached to them.  I wanted to develop something that was engaging and relatable that would turn around the presumption that we are preaching hippy radicals.  The lifestyle is an inclusive one that opens it’s arms to all kinds of people doing it for all kinds of different reasons and I wanted this project to reflect that.

Nature, animals and humankind; make the connection.

Jon Dailey

I’ve been vegetarian since about 2002.  I did a tour back then with a band called Anti-Maniacs, who’s whole thing was to do with animal rights and animal liberation.  At every show they’d have loads of literature and leaflets about it all with their merch and I’d sit and read that.  After reading through everything after about 2 weeks, I finished the tour and thought ‘There’s not much of an excuse really’.  So from there I went vegetarian.

I’d say that being involved in music and the punk scene is 100% responsible for the reason I don’t eat meat.  If I had gone straight from school into a job and not chosen to follow music, I would have been completely unaware about animal rights and I’d probably still be eating meat.  It’s not a thing that crops up often in day to day life for most people.  But I think within the punk scene, animal liberation is an important thing and without being around those people and educating myself…who knows?  I could have been a veal farmer!

Nadine Proost

I went vegetarian when I was 18, so about 4  year ago. I first decided to go vegetarian because I could afford to buy the ‘right’ kind of meat; organic, free range and so on. I was buying bags of frozen chicken breasts from supermarkets and realised that it wasn’t okay.  My dream is to be self sufficient.  I’d like to grow my own organic food; no pesticides, no genetically modified crap, no food miles.  I want to know what’s going into my body.

Daniel Hamlyn

I decided to go vegetarian 10 years ago and I’ve been vegan for 6 of those years.  I was 16 when my friend told me about factory farms and I didn’t believe it, so I went home and looked online and I was like ‘nah, not for me…’.  From there, going vegan seemed liked the logical step for me, if you’re supporting the dairy and egg industry then you’re still supporting the meat industry.

Being vegan or vegetarian is a lifestyle choice, it’s not just about what you’re eating.  You’re not just doing it for the animals or your health; you’re doing for the environment and for the people whose labour is being taken advantage of.  You’re doing it to promote equality, respect and liberation for everything and everyone involved.  Being vegan makes me feel proud - I know I’m doing what I can to help other beings and the planet as best as I can.

Michaela Hennessy and James Lacey

We leave meat off our plates the majority of the time, we only really have it when we visit our families.  We don’t like the idea of mass production of food and so we very, very rarely buy it ourselves.  The detachment of meat that people have nowadays is very strange, we forget we’re not eating an animal - just a product.  We don’t think about where it comes from or what it is, it’s all pre packaged and processed.  The label on the meat and what it’s called isn’t even of any relation to the animal it’s come from and as soon as you meant ion it’s origins, people get upset.

The production of the meat itself is completely inefficient but people don’t realise that.  We should be focusing more on trying to cut down on the amount we chose to eat.  The amount of wheat that has to be produced to feed the animals is ridiculous and then you have people who are starving elsewhere in the world; the environmental impact of the meat industry is diabolical.  Meat isn’t a luxury any more, people expect to eat meat seven days a week with almost every meal and without realising the damage it does.  If we all just left meat off our plates just one day a week, we’d all make such a drastic difference to the world.

[elstrange-blog]

As well as the others involved in the project, I have managed to get my friend Michaela Hennessy, her partner and (with her permission) her child, my god daughter, on board as well.  I am looking forward to working with them to get a fresh perspective on eating habits.  While they would not call themselves vegetarians, they very rarely eat meat and are very aware of the economical and environmental impact of the meat industry.  I think this will be a great opportunity to gain a different view and and different way to reach out to people who do eat meat and try to connect with them without pushing the idea of cutting out meat all together.

I was also meant to be working with speaking with Samphire Brasserie, a vegan and vegetarian restaurant, but unfortunately that has fallen through.

It's been really good working closely with people I know well and I think it's paid off well.  The relaxed environment I have been working with has made for some really interesting conversations and opportunities to develop the project.

[elstrange-blog]

After taking some of my initial images, I've decided to employ the use of Diptychs (something I explored and experimented with in my second year) as a way of displaying my images.  I've chosen to use diptychs again because of their capability to connect images and highlight meaning through their composition; I'm looking to develop focal points with regards to each individual topic of discussion.

I'm kind of struggling with finding a good way to photograph Hamlyn's tattoos.  I'm hoping that after playing around with them in PS a bit they will look a little better, if not I'll be reshooting!

[elstrange-blog]

Here are a few unedited images of some of the people I've been working with.  I went into creating these images with a very lose idea of what sort of thing I wanted to be photographing, ie I knew I wanted some in a portraiture style.  I didn't want to go in and treat it as a 'shoot' as such because I didn't want to take away from the natural air of the images that I think works to make them more relatable, engaging and personal.  I'm very happy with the way these are coming together and I think they are doing a good job in highlighting the themes in hand.

[elstrange-blog]

Interviews

For each set of images, I am looking to have some written text to accompany them - words from the people in the pictures.  My approach to this was similar to the way in which I chose to photograph them; relaxed and laid back with a basic idea of what I wanted to talk to them about.  By having this relaxed approach to the 'interviews' I was able to have some very interesting discussions that worked to bring about interesting points of conversation that I may not have gotten had I asked them to answer questions in a written form (which was my initial idea).  After taking photos in such a way, I realised how much more free and flexible you could be with this approach and how it worked much better to capture originality and personality.

[elstrange-blog]

The documentary Earthlings is one that I find myself watching periodically and my first viewing of it had a massive influence on my decision to go vegan. It is incredibly educational and enlightening in the way it explores different aspects and issues that lie behind the decision to become vegetarian and vegan, however, it is not for the faint hearted.  It has a lot of 'behind the scenes' footage of mistreatment of animals which is quite gruelling to watch, not something I am looking to apply to my own work.  Instead I will be drawing inspiration from the documentary by way of exploring the different faces of vegetarian/vegan lifestyles.

EARTHLINGS is a powerful and informative documentary about society’s treatment of animals, narrated by Joaquin Phoenix with soundtrack by Moby. This multi-award winning film by Nation Earth is a must-see for anyone who cares about animals or wishes to make the world a better place.

An ongoing series of portraits documenting key members of the punk & hardcore community in the South West, made on a variety of formats including large format film, 6x6 medium format & digital.

Andy Ford is a photographer I have really liked for many years.  Coming from the South West himself, he has been involved heavily in the local music scene documenting live shows and those involved in them.  Specifically I enjoyed his ‘Independent State of Mind’ series of images in which he works with members of the local DIY Punk and Hardcore scene.  I really love these images because, as with the work of Deveney, they work really well to capture the organic essence of the subject through composition and his strong, defined style.  This kind of photodocumentation is something I would like to practice in my own work, employing a portraiture type style. 

[elstrange-blog]

Kaylynn Deveney was a photographer I discovered and took inspiration from in my first year of university and my fondness of her work has remained with me.  Her images, while simple, come across as very genuine and honest by way of their natural and and unprocessed composition.  They manage to capture the spirit of the subject without being posed or over processed, which I think makes them more relatable and accessible to an audience; something I am hoping to implement in my work.

The Day-to-Day Life of Albert Hastings by Kaylynn Deveney

"As we became better acquainted I noticed too, the way he organised his things and his time"

When Deveney moved to a small flat in Wales, she developed a friendship with 85 year old Albert Hastings.  Deveney began to take photos of some of Hasting’s daily routines and rituals, then have him annotate each with a small caption about what he was doing.  By doing this, the two began a beautifully simplistic means of storytelling - a poignant and profound chronicle of ageing, living alone and the small joys that make up our daily lives.

I wanted to apply a concept such as this to my own work, the idea of documenting banal moments that aren’t necessarily considered significant enough to warrant a snapshot, but to you they are an important factor in your personal daily life.  Deveney’s work is increasingly focussed on ideas and depictions of the home and I wanted to have a similar theme to my work so set about in an attempt to capture the daily patterns and routines that make us feel at home.

[elstrange-blog]

Intermediate Proposal

After speaking with my tutor about my initial proposal and discussing the project and what it means to me and more detail, I have come to the decision to explore various components of vegetarian/veganism in an effort to cover it in a broader sense and engage on a variety of levels with the viewer.

I have decided on 8 different aspects of vegetarianism/veganism to cover through my photos, with each topic having 2 pictures to accompany them - a portraiture of each individual and another picture that appropriately conveys the issues they are discussing.

Here is a list of confirmed people and what we will be talking about so far:

Myself: A brief introduction to the project with a general discussion about why and when I went vegetarian and then vegan.

Nadine Proost: Talking about stigmas attached to being vegetarian and vegan - attitudes towards us and how we are perceived vs what we are actually like.

Laura Benson: Compassion towards and companionship of animals - the emotional bonds that can develop between humans and animals, appreciating and understanding them on a level that is equal to us.

Daniel Hamlyn:  Covering vegetarianism and veganism encompassed as a lifestyle, not just a dietary choice, and what that means.

Jon Dailey: How music and politics tie into the lifestyle.  Being involved in punk rock and how the influence it has on people and the way they eat.

Jake Dalton:  Discussing being raised as a vegetarian since birth.  Would he bring up his own children in the same way?  Can being vegetarian or vegan affect your relationships with others? (ie I would not be in a relationship with someone who eats meat)

And I am also looking to talk to someone who is thinking of becoming vegetarian or vegan and why they are thinking about it.  I will also be approaching the local restaurant 'Samphire Brasserie' looking to discuss the growing popularity of a plant based lifestyle, how well it works to run a business on this principle and and struggles or pleasantries they have come across along the way.

With each set of images there will be written text covering what we spoke about.  I was also thinking of maybe doing a short run of zines with the images in for people to take away if they wanted to.

[elstrange-blog]

I think that quite often (in my experience at least) when the issue of animal rights it brought to attention, people who eat meat etc expect to be confronted with these sorts of images; gruesome and in your face.  Whilst these kind of campaigns may be the ones to stay in memory, I don't think they do much by way of actually engaging the spectator or encouraging them to think about the issues in hand.  Instead, I think they can merely cause the viewer to turn away and ignore rather than employ a conscientious thought process about what information is being relayed to them.  I'm trying to change this 'preachy' and overbearing approach that seems to be so often expected and instead create something that speaks out to a whole manner of people on a personal and relatable level without aggressiveness.

Critical Evaluation

For our Contextual and Collaborative project we were expected to find and set up a collaboration with an outside agency, extending our reach of media-arts practice.  For my project, I chose to work with illustrator Lize Meddings and develop a published ‘zine’ together.  Initially the project was just going to be created between the two of us but after speaking with my tutor and doing some more contextual research, we decided to include a number of different people in our project and I believe the outcome was a great success.

The decision to make our project much bigger by way of the number of people involved was one that would increase the work load on both of us; specifically with regards to organisational skills and authorship details. Working with 7 different illustrators side-by-side (as well as developing my own contribution) meant time-keeping and group management was going to be a crucial part of this project.  Generally speaking, this aspect of the collaboration went better than I had anticipated. By setting deadlines with each participant and maintaining a weekly basis of contact, myself and Lize (for the most part) were able to keep up to date with progression of submissions and sustain a good line of communication and understanding.  However, there were a couple of hiccups along the line with one person dropping out and another missing deadlines/not responding to emails - despite this, we were able to work around the problems and continue to create a successful piece of work.

By directly contacting each individual contributor and asking them to create a piece specifically for the zine, Lize and I were able to easily work around any potential authorship issues.  We came to the agreement that any profit made from selling the zines would be used to first of all cover production costs and then any additional profit being contributed to charity.  Under these terms, the contributors were willing to provide us with their own work for free on the understanding that the coverage they would receive through the distribution of the zine would be beneficial to them by way of reaching more people with their work.

As I mentioned previously, Lize and I decided to change our initial idea so as to have a richer contextual value.  I began to research the ideas and concepts behind zines, exploring the traditional design ideas and thoughts that drove them.  The small-circuit, DIY nature of the zine was something often built through the collaboration and contribution of a number of different people - the idea of this being that the more involved, the more thoughts, ideas and concepts could be shared with others.  Zines in their essence were a chance for like minded individuals to partner up and share thoughts, images and ideas.

After doing some research on the background of zines, Lize pointed me in the direction of the 90s feminist ‘Riot Grrrl’ movement.  The Riot Grrrl movement was a subculture closely associated with the underground punk-rock music scene and was initiated by Kathleen Hanna of the band ‘Bikini Kill’.  The Riot Grrrl movement took off as a subculture engaging in activism and political action.  Riot Grrrls also embraced a strong DIY ethic, covering concerns and affairs such as sexuality, the patriarchy and female empowerment with the main form of communication being through home-made zines.  These zines gave the women involved the opportunity to express themselves without subjugation and marginalisation.  These zines played an incredibly important part in sharing information about women’s rights and laying the path for a new wave of feminism and so we thought it fitting to have these as the inspiration for our own collaboration.

With our research on the Riot Grrrl movement, we decided to opt for an all girl collaboration to tie in with the underground notion of zines and the sharing of a feminist subculture.  As well as using this research as a basis for the concept behind the zine itself, the research helped us develop and work out a design plan for our own zine.  For  example we used a specific typeface for the written parts of the zine in order to reflect the traditional usage of photocopiers to produce early runs of prints.  We also made the decision to hand pull our own zine covers so as to reflect once more on that DIY aspect that is so closely associated with the ‘traditional’ zine.

I believe that my collaborative process went very well overall all.  The biggest issue of the collaboration was having to work with a number of different people in a number of different places and having to overcome communication issues and boundaries.  Being diligent with structure and timing paid off incredibly well and meant that when there was the occasional hiccup, I had given myself a time allowance to deal with them successfully.  While working with a large group of people could have become quite complicated and stressful, my decision to delegate specific tasks around a timeline between myself and Lize early on in the project prevented confusion between us and assured all bases of the project were covered.  By creating and developing a clear brief and outline with line to approach additional collaborators with we were able to make sure that everyone involved had a clear understanding of what the intuitions of the zine and their role within it would be.  By being organised and having a clear objective set from the beginning I was able to ensure that the project moved along smoothly.

We now have a run of 30 zines successfully printed and being sold through Lize herself and her only shop, through ‘I Hate It Records’ distro and Lize and I will be having our own table at the up coming ‘Give Up Your Day Job’ DIY fair at the end of March.  In addition to this we are in talks with ‘Comic Book Slumber Party’ (a big name in the UK DIY zine and Illustration scene) about printing another run and having them sell the zine via their online shop as well as them taking it to various fairs and events as part of their distro.  

The enthusiastic participation of all involved, the interest it is receiving and the overall finished look of the zine make me think that this project was a very successful one.  It taught me a lot of new skills and allowed me to explore digital drawing and develop upon my organisational and communication.  The experience has left me feeling positive and I am looking forward to creating more zines!

Part of Lize’s submission for Anamnesis - everything is getting into the final stages of production.

A fave friend of mine is putting together a zine of favourite memories called Anamnesis so I drew what I could remember of going to Disney Land as a kid. The zine will be available very soon so keep your eyes peeled!
