Unexpected outcomes is a project exploring the unintentional and
chance outcomes that film photography can offer. In order to unleash
the possibilities one must take themselves out of the process, stop
focussing on composure and actual outcome and allow the camera
to work in a playful experimental way. The project consisted of many
different experiments. In total twenty films were used which allowed me
to collate a substantial amount of material and investigate many different
and unexpected outcomes one may come across when photographing
in such a mindset. This project aimed to explore and highlight the ways
in which chance can effect a process in a beneficial way.
It aims to open up our minds to something fresh, new and creative and
show the viewer something they are not use to. This project consisted
of photographs created from the process of chance which lead to
outcomes of an unexpected nature. This project aimed to embrace all
different outcomes regardless of how in focus or damaged they were.
I wanted to show that through unpredictability and the unexpected,
taking ourselves out of a process can offer more dynamic, interesting
and alternative results rather than constantly trying to control the
process. Rather than planning something let the possibilities of chance
work to your advantage, embrace the unknown welcome mistakes.

If we choose to use a film camera in a playful and experimental way,
rather than one frame per exposure, we can explore many different
converging lines within images. We encounter an element of surprise,
the unexpected. Unaware of what may happen and what result will come
of it, this adventurous approach allows you to capture photographs of
what isn’t actually there. This allows photographs to work much like our
memory, melting and converging lines of images together allowing for a
tangible image and a moving memory captured in one photograph.
We can explore chance by being creative with the negative itself before
development, by investigating the chemical reactions that occur
when the film reacts with different types of substances and heat. Of
course, you choose the effect which is applied, and the time it is left
to effect the negative but inevitably you are out of the actual process
as you cannot really control exactly what change takes place. You are
unaware of what has happened to the film until it is developed.
Take yourself out of the process, stop thinking too much about what
you are taking a picture of and just shoot, see what happens. Inevitably
you do control the process to some extent but not thinking too much
about the composure of the image can expand the range of results
achieved. This explores possibilities of the unexpected and welcomes
chance, mistakes and accidents which consequently can work to your
advantage as potentially answers can be found unintentionally.
