I’ve been considering making my photos into a book. In light of the current unusual situation we’re in, I feel it would be interesting to create some kind of story through my work – a sort of documentation of our time in quarantine. I’ve been keeping a rough diary over the last two week, sinceContinue reading “Diary Entries (16th March – 29th March 2020)”

As I’m struggling for motivation at the moment, I decided to come back to what I love in photography the most; light. At the beginning of this project, I looked at Nigel Shafran’s work. One of the features I like most about Shafran’s work is his use of light, which I find makes ordinary thingsContinue reading “Shoot: ‘Light’”

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”

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”

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”
