Documentary Concept Statement

For my documentary assignment, I will identify a small business in the Central Phoenix area which I will work with to develop images to tell their story. The photos will include portraits of the owner and employees along with product shoots. I will also take photos of the day-to-day activity of the business to show the interaction with customers. The idea is to create a day in the life of a small business. Using lighting techniques and unique perspective I hope to create a sense of place and communicate the character of the people in that place.
