Some of my research that I found when investigating my Practice around Liminal Spaces and my Contextual essay on Atmosphere in photographs.

Research post on Liam Wong and how he has influenced my work on Liminal Spaces, night time, darkness and photography this year.
Today was the last day of our Level 5 Exhibition – Timeless Perspectives at the Eagle Works, Wolverhampton.
We had opened on Thursday with a private view and then yesterday saw a couple of people come and view the exhibition. Would today bring more visitors?
Time to begin the hanging of the work at EagleWorks, Wolverhampton ahead of the opening on Thursday. How didi it go?
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 consists of two days. the first was a Tutorial and a chat about the exhibition which is due to open in mid-April. Have a look at the reasons why I’ve selected some photos and not others along with the overall theme developing of the show.
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.
Not a usual week at Uni this week, seems like there was a problem with the IT systems. Wonder what it could be?
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…
For Week 11 we have to prepare and present a five minute presentation on Space being represented in one of our own photos and another in a contemporary photographer’s work. Have a read what I picked and why…
This week we talk about space and how other artists, photographers make use of it in their work. We discuss how it is used, why it works or doesn’t and I find another photographer in Kander who I really enjoy the work of.
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.
A day off from work can only mean one thing, more university work in the form of a day out in Birmingham to visit some exhibitions.
Exhibition: Development Of My Work
From the beginnings of an idea, this post details my “Practice” throughout this year, leading to the exhibition which has just closed. It contains information on installation, opening, running and conclusions about the whole process.
