This week was packed, with some Research for year long project, reviewing our feedback from Semester 1, Riso Printing (next post) and a group crit that took up a long time but yielded some great information.
This Friday saw us first hit up the web resources for some Research on our year long project and essays, then a trip to the Print Hub to learn about Riso Printing and finally a great chat with my Academic Coach Lauren. A busy day!!
After discussing ideas for my year long project with Niki, I developed a concept around my Town Council’s recent project to replace 30 bus shelters. Sounds enthralling, no?
At the end of last year, Alice gave us a task to create an A3 size board containing references, text, quotes and examples of images that we were interested in related to our year-long project.
My year long project so far has been a proper mixed bag, some print destruction, some negative distressing, some architecture, some portraiture so I put three boards together using my computer and PowerPoint along with the graphics table so I could scrawl directly onto the digital page.
Alice gave us a challenge to plan a shoot and carry it out using inspiration from the surrealism lecture on Friday. See what I got up to with my wardrobe door.
Sarah x 2 came to talk to us today about their practice and how they are better individual artists when working together. Oh and lots of food discussions too.
The lat Tuesday before Christmas and with some colour printing complete I stood and had an informal chat with Niki that was very enlightening.
Research is an important part of my degree course and it’s not something that comes easy to me. See how I get on looking into the work of Alma Haser.
This week is a review week of Semester One and all the work we’ve created up until this point. What do I need to improve upon, what can I do next to try different things? See what Alice and I talked about.
What happens when you have an “original” idea of something to make. You find out that it’s been done before but that doesn’t stop me having a play with it…
Night & Day in Tokyo and other cities around the world. My work led me to look at work by Liam Wong and Masataka Nakano who are both extraordinary photographers.
Photograms and Alternative Prints? What could possibly go wrong in my journey to take on two of Alice’s small challenges in the name of exploring Materiality.
Seminar today was about Materiality, Purists, Pictorialists and a bit about Academic Integrity and Referencing. Some questions and a couple of challenges to complete.
Time for a chat about ideas for my full year project, and also a little bit of getting back into the swing of Colour Enlarging and printing.
Choose an approach from Szarkowski’s The Photographer’s Eye and make five images based on it. Cue a trip around a wet town centre.
Shrewsbury Photoclub got together last week and did some Long Exposure photography. Have a read what went well and why I should have taken my tripod with me..

When you’ve been a good boy at work, sometimes people give you an award! I used mine on a Holga Pinhole camera, see the results of my early usage here..
What Colour Are Emotions? I don’t really know but lets try and figure it out, then take a picture to represent it and myself.
On the 8th September 2022, Queen Elizabeth II died. I rushed down to London to witness the rush of people to the capital. This is the story of my road trip.
Heat wave in August 2022, what can you do on a really sunny day? Cut the grass, sit and have a beer on the decking, fill the paddling pool, go on hols or try a Cyanotype in the bright sunshine?
