A symposium from the Royal Photographic Society’s Historical Group at the University of Wolverhampton on “the history and impact of photography.”
This Monday came around and Brian , my coursemate from the course at Wolverhampton University, had organised to meet Wooden Dog for a photo shoot at the BIMM Live Rooms.
This week sees a scramble to get my freshly developed negatives of Dudley Zoo scanned in and then printed out in the darkroom. A session with Jim in the Print hub and a review of the project in the form of a presentation to the rest of the group.
With an assignment to submit, talk of the exhibition and steps left to complete before the set up. Then a quick chat with Euripides about non-standard film processing techniques.
Back to Dudley Zoo again to see if I can get some usable images out of a couple of rolls of Lomography Redscale 50-200. Featuring a YouTube video of som eof my journey around the zoo and how I chose to set up and take the images using my medium format camera.
This week was a bit of printing in the dark room, a presentation of the midway review and a trip to the art gallery.
Tuesday 7th May sees us Level 5 Students sit down with Sylvia for an assessment tutorial before the final hand in on the 9th May, this Thursday.
She has helpfully given us the info on the topics of conversation.
Some of my research that I found when investigating my Practice around Liminal Spaces and my Contextual essay on Atmosphere in photographs.
A task on post modernism and also a chance to print some images in the darkroom, after developing a 35 mm film first.
Week 3 and it’s time to scan or print from the negs I made in Japan, followed by a tutorial with Sylvia about the formative feedback for the Artist Library task.
Busy week this week, first develop a roll of Ilford HP5+, then a tutorial about my practice and lastly a seminar about critical thinking. Fully packed sessions.
Today saw some more pointless colour printing and a trip to the Eagle Works for a look at an exhibition space for our Easter exhibition
A fun packed day in Week Four of Semester 1. Some printing, some washing, some spilling of drinks, a tutorial and a fire alarm evacuation.
Today was the hand in deadline, with the digital stuff submitted on Friday I had only the physical works to submit in person. Also a quick drone mission on someone in the art school’s behalf. Topped off with a film dev in the bathroom..
This academic year I’ve been working on a project that involves manipulation and disruption of images. This post details where I started from and all the stars that aligned in order for me to produce something I was happy with.
Time for my last Darkroom Session of the academic year. Some pictures of Birmingham and Blists Hill were made, after some trouble.
Student competition for Ilford? Don’t mind if I do. See how I get on with creating some prints on Ilford paper from Ilford film..
