Visual Research: Thomas Duffield – The Whole House is Shaking

Thomas Duffield is another photographer who caught my eye when looking through the email we were sent this week. His project ‘The Whole House is Shaking’ centres on his father’s addiction to heroin whilst he was growing up. Although not directly linked to my project, this sense of looking beyond the surface of things, feelingContinue reading “Visual Research: Thomas Duffield – The Whole House is Shaking”

Visual Research: Clare Gallagher – Domestic Drift

Yesterday, I looked at the email we were sent about photographers working in their own home and a few of the images left me feeling a lot more inspired. Clare Gallagher’s project ‘Domestic Drift’ was one of my favourites and also quite relevant to my own work, so I thought I’d take a further lookContinue reading “Visual Research: Clare Gallagher – Domestic Drift”

Visual Research: Photographers Who Work in Their Own Home

I had a look at the list we were sent today by email – a compilation of people’s work that relates to working from or about home. I’m disappointed that I can’t travel home to photograph some different interior spaces that hold a lot meaning to me. It’s lead me to feel a bit uninspiredContinue reading “Visual Research: Photographers Who Work in Their Own Home”

Book Printing Research

In response to my recent 1-1 with Simon, I’ve decided to start this week off by looking at what options I now have in terms of the execution of my final book/images. I have considered doing a book since my project began. Now, with limited resources in light of the Covid-19 situation, a printed bookContinue reading “Book Printing Research”

Shoot: ‘As and When’

I had hoped to be able to return home for a while, and visit my Grandparent’s house to continue with this project. I thought that photographing these spaces which have a lot of personal meaning and memories for me, would bring another element of meaning to the work. However, due to the current situation withContinue reading “Shoot: ‘As and When’”

Instagram/Magazine Inspiration – Photographers Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic

I’m feeling a bit apprehensive about what the next few weeks will bring for my project and I’m worried that I’m starting to feel a bit uninspired by the space I’m stuck in. I’ve noticed some photographers I follow on Instagram are already starting to respond to the situation through their work, so I thoughtContinue reading “Instagram/Magazine Inspiration – Photographers Responding to the COVID-19 Pandemic”

Skype 1-1 with Simon (20/03/20)

The situation regarding the Covid-19 pandemic has very quickly progressed over the last week, and suddenly Uni is now beginning to close. This means my project may take a bit of a turn… In this week’s online tutorial I discussed with Simon how I will progress considering the current circumstances. Luckily, I won’t have toContinue reading “Skype 1-1 with Simon (20/03/20)”

Theoretical Research: Gaston Bachelard ‘The Poetics of Space’

In our group tutorials this week it was recommended that I look at some more theoretical research to really establish the key themes and ideas of my work and understand more about mindfulness and the effects our spaces and surroundings have on us. Gaston Bachelard’s ‘The Poetics of Space’ has been a hugely helpful resourceContinue reading “Theoretical Research: Gaston Bachelard ‘The Poetics of Space’”

Theoretical Research: Michel de Certeau ‘The Practice of Everyday Life’

In my group review this week, it was suggested that I think a little more about mindfulness and the theory behind my work. Simon also suggested I look at Michel de Certeau in one of my previous tutorials, so I feel like now is a good time to take a further look as I continueContinue reading “Theoretical Research: Michel de Certeau ‘The Practice of Everyday Life’”

Group Reviews (10/03/20) Feedback

Today, we had our group reviews and had a look at each other’s work so far. I found it interesting to see what other people had to say about my images without knowing my reasonings for taking them. I was quite surprised to learn that the majority viewed the photos as very emotive and describedContinue reading “Group Reviews (10/03/20) Feedback”
