Funny Britain
A dedicated humour project.
Go out specifically to make funny pictures. No other agenda. Study Matt Stuart, Tony Ray-Jones, and early Parr before you go. Come back with pictures that make people laugh before they think.
How to shoot it: Go out with humour as the only brief, and study Matt Stuart, Tony Ray-Jones and early Parr first so your eye is tuned. Find a strong background, a sign, a poster, an odd bit of street, then wait for a person to complete the joke, because the best funny frames are built, not snatched. Shoot a lot and expect a low hit rate, comedy is the hardest genre to land.
The output: The hardest project on this list. The most rewarding if you get it right.
Any.
Go out with only one goal: make a funny picture. No hedging.
