Over all this has been a really fulfilling and pleasant module. The new skills learnt throughout I found really beneficial and will use in my practice in the future. The tasks and final project have helped me develop my story telling abilities and allowed me to use other media such as video and audio to [...]

Croping for video

The shot by shot images although taken in the same position were not lined up perfectly after I had scanned them in. To counter this I edited them in photoshop using an overlay I created. I made a see through layer that mapped out where the table should be and it had a frame on [...]

Everything slows down when you go bigger, it’s a good job I am blessed with having a lot of patience. After a lot of test strips each going up to around 10mins, I did a working print and mapped out my final print. which looked a bit like this: It’s the kind of thing I [...]

I decided to make small fibre based prints of both the solo and versus sets and present them in two books, one for each set. Thanks to the bookbinding workshop I attended the other week this is something I can do myself. It will be good to have some one off objects that are handmade [...]

I really enjoyed the pool hall portraits I did for the clothed body task so decided to take it further and produce something for my final piece.

The shoot didn’t go quite to plan but I’m happy with the results. I managed to capture two frames shot by shot. The first, Jordan (subject) playing on his own and the second me playing with him. Luckily didn’t go over 36 exposures for either keeping each frame to less than a role and managing [...]

I have been doing work with The Atlantic Whale Foundation since last August. We had an interesting couple of days filling a container bound for Sierra Leone, of course nothing went as planned but we got the job done.
