I’m pleased with the style of work I have developed so far throughout this project, but I want to keep trying new things as I go incase it helps to spark some new inspiration. Simon suggested that I try using a flashgun to see what effect this has on my photographs. I borrowed the NikonContinue reading “Shoot: ‘Flashgun’”

Shoot: ‘My Everyday’
This week I’ve been starting to think more about how I want my work to be presented at the end of this project. I’ve had a look at Stephen Shore’s ‘A Road Trip Journal’ and began to think about combining my own images into a book. It might be interesting to create my own journal/diaryContinue reading “Shoot: ‘My Everyday’”
Stephen Shore – ‘A Road Trip Journal’
At the beginning of this project, I had a look at some of Stephen Shore’s work. As I continue thinking about how my work will be presented, I want to keep looking at book ideas. I want to look a bit more at Shore’s project, ‘A Road Trip Journal’, as I think my photos couldContinue reading “Stephen Shore – ‘A Road Trip Journal’”
Printing for Group Reviews
Today, I printed three groups of photos, sized 5×8 on the Epson printer, ready for group tutorials next week. As per my last blog post, I decided on three different categories to sort my photos into. I chose to group these particular photos because they look good together – they share similar subjects, colour schemesContinue reading “Printing for Group Reviews”
Identifying Potential Themes in my Work
In my 1-1 with Simon today, he suggested I try to group some of my photographs and establish some key themes in my work. I had a look at my favourite images from the project so far and grouped them into three different categories ready to print for group tutorials. The groups I decided onContinue reading “Identifying Potential Themes in my Work”
1-1 with Simon (03/03/20)
In today’s 1-1 we discussed the current state of my project and briefly what I might consider photographing next.

Simon suggested that I think about the current themes IContinue reading “1-1 with Simon (03/03/20)”
Sleeping by the Mississippi – Alec Soth
‘Sleeping by the Mississippi’ (2004) is one of my favourite Alec Soth books, because of how the photos tell a story. The series was taken during a series of road trips along the Mississippi River and I think it really feels as though you are going on a journey along with Soth as you navigateContinue reading “Sleeping by the Mississippi – Alec Soth”
Visual Research: Alec Soth
I decided to look at some of Alec Soth’s work as I particularly like his books and how his images work and sequence together. I think I will also have a closer look at his book ‘Sleeping by the Mississippi’ as this is a particular favourite of mine and one he is well known for.Continue reading “Visual Research: Alec Soth”
Considering Final Outcome/Telling a story through my work…
Although I have a while to go with this project, I think it would be sensible to start thinking about how I want my work to be presented at the end, so that I can begin reflecting this in my photographs. I’d love to make some kind of book about this work. This is ourContinue reading “Considering Final Outcome/Telling a story through my work…”
Visual Research: Luke Saxon
I know Luke Saxon from discovering him on Instagram a couple of years ago and his work quickly became some of my favourite. I love his use of colour; the bubblegum pinks and vibrant blues often remind me a lot of Eggleston’s work. I also like his use of collage. Sometimes he will join twoContinue reading “Visual Research: Luke Saxon”
