Personal Study Introduction Draft

How has the automobile played a role in the evolution of photography and society? A question which some may feel could only be answered based purely on structured opinion. Whether or not this is due to the fact that the automobile within art is a very niche topic, which has lead to acute numbers of exploration. Therefore resulting in a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the topic at hand. Within my study, I wish to explore this subject in great detail, analyzing different medias of art – exploring a wide range of artists spanning an ample time period.   

Where has my inspiration come from for this exotic topic? The main drive for me, was almost trying to prove and reckon my passion (boiling my passion down, it is the uttermost love and infatuation for the automobile and for capturing these pieces of art with beautiful photographs). What do I mean by this? Frequently I was asked if I wanted to study this topic because ‘I like cars’. When the simple answer is, I am studying my passion, which derived from my life aspirations and current work.


Throughout this study, I aim to explore the progression within styles and content of photography spanning past eras. Answering questions along the lines of ‘how has the automobiles involvement within photography grown and evolved?’ To help answer my questions, I will be investigating different photographers and artists – such as Robert Doisneau and Alex Penfold.
