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.

A day in January to go to Leeds for a Brutalist Architecture exhibition about University Campuses and then a jaunt around the impressive architecture that is Leeds Uni campus. Using Digital, Film and Drone cameras.
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.

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.
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.
