Class Crit

To help me in progressing my work further, I worked together with my peers to create a small test pin-up in a way to give and receive feedback for the work we have produced so far. As much as this was just a small test, this was extremely helpful for me, because I was able

Coffee House Sessions

Being one of the only photographers that is part of the HudMotion society means I allow myself to be involved in a lot of events for the Student Union. This week I helped alongside some of the other members, in filming and photographing some of the Coffee House Sessions. Photographing in situations such as this,

Them :: Those

Danny Treacy is a professional photographer, creating imagery that witnesses and records the use of space, doing this in a very conceptual way. When visiting the university he explains that, similarly to many other photographers he had problems through the beginning of his projects, as he lost touch both conceptually and physically. ‘Them’ gave the

C/O :: Berlin

During the past week I have broadened my knowledge with yet, MORE art galleries and photographic practices. Joel Meyerowits’ ‘Why Colour’ exhibited in C/O Berlin, gave me insight into another stunning body of work.

Throughout the two days I acted as directing photographer, where I completely left my comfort zone and previous ideas of  how to photograph your subject. This was both a learning curve, however a confidence

The Photobook Club

We had many exciting opportunities throughout Creative Exchange Week, one of them including a talk from Matt Johnson, looking at the editing and thought that goes in to the publication of a successful book. He talked us through some of his own books or publications he had made, and the whole idea behind getting a

Pablo Antoli

If there is one thing I have learnt from Pablo Antoli, it is that you go through trial and error periods, where you may not enjoy what you are doing and the work you are creating. These are more than most times, periods of your life that will teach you about your abilities and techniques

Rachel Brown :: Portfolio Review

At the beginning of Creative Exchange Week I was lucky enough to have a portfolio review with Rachel Brown, a photography director currently working for Harper’s Bazaar and also Town & Country. She has taught me that most of the time you have to work alongside your earning job, where her career and her personal
