Assignment 2 – post tutor feedback reflection

517401 OCA Photography

I found this assignment very challenging and although the feedback from my tutor was valid, I decided not to re-shoot the assignment. This was partly as I felt that if I followed the feedback I would be trying to shoot someone else’s assignment and in part because I had intended to start again from scratch with a different subject. In the end I did neither partly due to the amount of time I spend re-working assignment four and also because of family commitments. I think what I learned from this assignment is that I struggle with abstract concepts and more … Continue reading Assignment 2 – post tutor feedback reflection

Assignment 2 – Photographing the unseen – Tutor feedback

My feed back for assignment 2 can be read here. If I’m honest I think the written feedback is more positive than our skype call but either way I have no issue with it as I think it is an accurate reflection of the work submitted. I think the feedback reflects the struggles I had with this assignment and so it was not a suprise and I think there are two things that I can take out of it, first that I need to be clear in my mind what I am trying to communicate and I know that this … Continue reading Assignment 2 – Photographing the unseen – Tutor feedback

I found this assignment challenging and indeed the whole narrative aspect of photography is not somehting that comes readily to me. When I initially read the brief the idea of electricity was one that came to mind but I think I discounted it as I felt that it did not have and emotional element to it. Looking at other students’ blogs a lot of work for this assignment seemed to be very personal and relate to challenges they faced in their life. I think I got bogged down in trying to create images that I judged were worthy or meaningful … Continue reading Assignment 2 – Photographing the unseen – reflection

Assignment 2 – Photographing the unseen – Taken for granted

517401 OCA Photography

I struggled to get started with this assignment and by the time of my scheduled call with my tutor I had taken no photographs and really had no idea of how to move forward. In the end I narrowed my choices down to two topics, electricity and faith and chose to go with electricity as I thought it would be easier to complete in the time available. Obviously we can’t see electricity, flicking a switch on a socket is not like turning on a tap, nothing comes out. What I wanted to portray is the paradox between this force that … Continue reading Assignment 2 – Photographing the unseen – Taken for granted

Assignement 2 – Photographing the unseen

517401 OCA Photography

Having emailed my tutor about the two themes I was thinking of developing, and having had a response that they both met the brief, I have decided to progress with electricity and I am hoping to get a major part of it shot over the bank holiday weekend. In a change to how I usually work I have complied a shot list and am now working through where I can find locations for some of the pictures I want to take e.g. solar farms, wind turbines and sub-stations. Having prevaricated for so long I am keen to get started and … Continue reading Assignement 2 – Photographing the unseen
