The portrait of Kent is a photographic series that documents members of the public throughout the county of Kent as the photographic series has photographed and documented the average members of the public who are visiting, working, and living throughout the county of Kent, going around their daily lives. All the portraits were taken at the location with nothing being created to manufacture a staged image as they were all created straight after gaining consent from the models while. all successful portraits have been captured with a consistent theme throughout with them all being environmental portraits, with a slight distance between the models and the surrounding areas.
Each project will form another photographic series in The Portrait of Kent and allows me to look at diverse types of people that I could look at photographs as this will enable me to capture a diverse array of portraits that will be displayed in each Photographic series. While each series carries the same theme and feel as this will impact how people read and study the portraits that have been captured. So, they will be in line with what I have captured with A Portrait of Kent: Cruel and Tender, Ashford in Lockdown 2, Canterbury Cathedral and Canterbury city center, plus the series that I have undertaken in college. Consistency is important when building my authorship and making my work look stronger, so clients would be able to understand what type of photographer I am. Plus every project will be distinct, unique, and different from the previous projects that I have undertaken but have the same photographic format overall.
The research that is undertaken draws on the artists that I have previously researched over the past three years as it is how gained influences to begin production of the Portrait of Kent and the former modules and projects that I have undertaken.
