Early on in the year I started by looking into Liminal Space as a possible theme for my Practice for this module. I started out by making images of spaces that were uncanny, strange, confusing and odd places whilst reading about Liminal Spaces on the web.
Research post on Liam Wong and how he has influenced my work on Liminal Spaces, night time, darkness and photography this year.
In this final post about the Japan trip in January 2024 I wrap up my thoughts and feelings about the adventure. What I liked about the place, people and other subjects and what I didn’t.
This post is about how I chose to display the images in the upcoming exhibition and the lengths I’ve been to in order to pull it off.
This week sees the whole uni still without computers so it was into the old school colour darkrooms with some negatives. That joined with a tutorial on the Practice module too as prep for the exhibition in April.
Nearly time to go home, one more day to pack in lots of museums and photography, does it work out as planned? You bet it doesn’t.
Time for the third shoot within the factory, and this time it’s after shutdown, when everyone has left for the Christmas break. I find out that I have the factory in my DNA.
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.
This week we were off to London to visit the Photographers’ Gallery for the Daido Moriyama Retrospective and the V&A Photography Centre for a walk around the Energy: Sparks from the Collection.
For my second shoot in the factory I waited for night to fall and then went a wandering with my headlamp and Leica Q2. What did I capture?
The first shoot has been completed and in this post I document my plan and the outcomes. Are any of these images your cup of tea?
Time to hand in the Artist Library assignment, an essay of 1000 words. I chose to write about Frank Miller’s 1986 classic graphic novel, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Why did I choose this book? Read on…
Camera Obscura, a simple method of projecting what is outside, into the room using no special optical lenses or anything more than cardboard and tin foil.
This week saw me getting into the colour darkroom once more, this time with some good chemistry in the machine. After this we discussed our essay plans and then the topic of Space.
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.
Watch something task, I watch lots of photography content on YouTube but could I narrow it down? Yes I could. A mixture of street photography, film photography and talk about methods and practice make this an ideal video to discuss.
Last Saturday night our Shrewsbury Photoclub headed for a bridge in Monkmoor to make some photos using light painting techniques bein gdemonstrated by two of the group.
