IVE BEEN BUSY. SORRY.

Hey all...

I've been so busy with college work, actual work and random stuff that the blog has been neglected. However whilst being neglected I have managed to get on a lot further in my project on multiples. Although I only have around 50 photos I actually like (I need 100 or even 300).

Par exemple...

Rainy Taxi

Toot Toot Tram Aboot

Light Firework... 

Centenary Year Poppy Coloured Scot Monument

I have decided that I will experiment with the photos in squares as this focuses on the main part of the photo and I generally think they look a lot more eye catching.

I also looked into CIRCLE photos - yes MINDBLOWING, but they really do look great! And fit in nicely with the blurred light orbs!

Whilst all this creativity is going on I am also carrying out research on my Pathway for Paul's class report and also on my topic for David class, which I have decided this year will be 'Portrayal of domestic violence against women in photography by both a male and female photographer and society's reaction' - another heavy topic but I found it very interesting....

Goodbye for now (its my birthday and refuse to carry on any more college work)

MORNING.

(I have the WHOLE day off that's why I can actually do this without rushing or panicking)

So (last week) we had a few directed study classes and I managed to chat to each of my lecturers about my multiples project and so far they all seem to be on board! Which is such a confidence boost - because although I'm confident in talking to people I shy away when it comes to discussing my work and my ideas. 

I have some photos I my recent sketchbook work in which I make some decision about how I want to display my photographs! 

Firstly I decided to explore the idea of making my photos into Polaroids where I could caption every photo with what it was or where it was taken - so people didn't get confused or doubt it was in Edinburgh....

Then I thought, what if I split the photos up into square and display them like they are above!!

I liked te effect these photos gave but next I have decided I will try laying photos out like this in squares... Instead of cutting them out (if that makes te slightest of sense)

So as you can see the project is coming along nicely, although so far I have about 50 photos and the aim is 300 (I think, as I want to create an IMPACT) 

So moving on, I handed in my essay proposal on Friday - I intend to write about The Portrayal of Domestic Abuse against women in photography by both a male and female photographer and society's reaction to the portrayals!

I believe it will be an interesting topic to cover as I have noticed myself, a very big difference in how a male photographer creates a photoshoot on domestic abuse compared to how a female photographer created a similar shoot!

I will study Sara Naomi Lewkowicz and Steven Meisel as well as Nancy 'Nan' Goldin and Tyler Sheilds.

Thankya for reading my babbling this week and stay tuned for more ❤️
