“Gotta stay on the scene”. James Brown
It would be easy to drift off course and to bend my project to suit the work I’m making, so to stay on the case, I do need to restate some of the main aims of my work.
To choose to portray people in a homeless situation, who have been in a homeless situation or live with the threat of homelessness.
To address the variety of people in these situations and not concentrate on a certain group or stereotype.
My criteria and brief in how to portray these people:
*Non judgemental
*With respect
*With Equality and fairness
*With Truthfulness
To understand that ordinary peoples lives have a story, an epic quality, that they have as much weight, meaning, depth and drama as any King, Queen, dignitary, hero or icon that may have ever been considered worthy of a painted portrait.
