Visual Studies: The Way We Live Now

My initial concept when responding to this title was to create images based on how we are controlled by the government, how corrupt and how their brainwashing system surrounds us. I thought of ways I could question capitalism and how it affects us through the media and the commercial industry. This is something I have a strong opinion on and I want to share my thoughts and opinions through my photographs. I also felt this was a very strong concept to work with as it can have a strong impact to viewers.
We live in an age where the younger generation are heavily influenced by technology and social media. These very influential methods control our generation a great deal and is very difficult to break away from. Photography can also have this impact and be very influential, therefore is a strong method in breaking that system.
For my images to be successful I want to gather as much research as possible from many aspects of the 'status quo'. Whether it be political issues, riots, big brother, social unrest, poverty and economical issues.
