‘Create a set of between six and ten finished images on the theme of the decisive moment. You
may choose to create imagery that supports the tradition of the ‘decisive moment’ or you may
choose to question or invert the concept by presenting a series of ‘indecisive’ moments. Your
aim isn’t to tell a story, but in order to work naturally as a series there should be a linking theme,
whether it’s a location, event or particular period of time’ (Bloomfield, 2018).

Due to the current pandemic, we students are having to alter any exercises/tasks that require working in a social environment to fit the current guidelines set by the government. Due to this, I will have to work my way around this assignment from a domestic setting which is slightly disappointing as I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone by shooting street photography. Perhaps I can explore a different technique instead to push myself further?

Before I begin this assignment, I will have to research the decisive moment further, so that I can then also understand what an indecisive moment is. I must admit it’s a little difficult for me to interpret at the minute, but hopefully, with further studying and help from peers will help me formulate a set of images that fit the brief.

Unfortunately, my confidence levels for this assignment are quite low, as I’m unaware as to what I will end up with or where to begin; therefore the best option right now is to search around for definitions, examples and other such materials to help me on my way.
