Proposal

Project proposal

For my editorial assignment I am going to undertake the task of finding out about café culture, and if the big corporate chains such as Starbucks and Costa Coffee are slowly bringing an inevitable end to the small coffee houses and cafes.

From research I found that people visiting cafes now want something a little more different and a more personal experience this is interesting as companies like Starbucks do create different products and interesting coffees, but it’s the smaller coffee shops that have that personal experience. This is what I will be hitting on with my extended captions, asking the model being photographed, what it is that makes them choose the small coffee shop over a big company such as Starbucks.

 The model will receive a model release form like this.

And on the back their testimony will be written for use as an extended caption.

The end body of work will be placed in a local newspaper and Café Culture magazine, other possible placed for the work could be local information leaflets and using black and white imagery will have more graphical punch and won’t cause printing issues for any medium due to the contrast and brightness being adjusted to look best as a black and white photograph.
