The concept of my pinhole camera is based on culture and heritage. I have chosen this topic because I think the UAE culture and heritage is quite interesting and fascinating. The first image that I will take using the pinhole camera is based on identity; this means I will be capturing something that is related to customs and the way the UAE nationals are dressed. In addition, the other image that I will be taking is actually linked to the History of the UAE. It in fact includes historical materials and supplies that were actually used by previous generation. On the other hand, I will also be taking an image of gold and jewelry. This is because I would like to show how women in that time appreciated beauty, although of the simplicity life they were living in. Finally I will combine the three images together in a way to show the viewers how the images are related in someway or another to the UAE culture and heritage. As well as, to give them a clear image of how the UAE history is still attached to the UAE Modern culture.

Ok, so you want to talk about history, culture, identity, etc....
How is culture connected with what many call 'modernity'... you say;
"As well as, to give them a clear image of how the UAE history is still attached to the UAE Modern culture." please explain... perhaps you explain this in your images...
So, what will you make the viewer think about when they see your images??? If the viewer is not from the UAE will they undertand, will they care, will they gain something??? Please explain.
Also, what is the identity of the people... is it nationalism? is it dress? is it their roots? or is it thier Islam?... please think about all of these issues.
Finally, focus on the experience of the viewer... what do you want 'us' to know and understand and how can all of this be done in three images???
Good start... concept has a base, but needs to be developed.
Well done.
