Blog Presentation Feedback

Last week I presented my blog in class. After my presentation Ines discussed with me how she felt there was a lack of coherence within my blog. My images seem to be all over the place. This is clearly evident to anyone who even skims through my blog and I think my lack of certainty has really come through. However I realise that the work on this blog is meant to develop into a project for next semester.

On the other hand throughout this project I have come to realise that I really enjoy using the outdoor lighting kit. I like results of using the lighting and I like that the photographs aren’t taken in the studio, rather the images have the ability to become more personal because I can take them anywhere. On a positive note, Ines recognised my interest in taking photographs of people I know well and feel close to. She suggested I look into the image of photographer Nan Golden who too enjoyed photographing people she felt  close to, in fact as far as I know she only photographed people she knew. This has lead me to think about my second semester project of possibly creating a short book that relates to someone close to me and to take personal images of them in their space. Something Ines also pointed out which I found interesting was my interest in the colour red. This may be due to my past studies which were related to art. There is something so grasping about the colour red that I do enjoy using it within my imagery, because I feel it draws the eye, which infact I speak about in one of my posts. This observation from Ines has sparked in interest in me, because although I knew I found myself drawn to the colour I hadn't realised it, if that makes much sense and I feel as though her comment will not go overlooked, rather I plan on producing work which I find Ines found consistency in because that is obviously where my interest must lay.

In conclusion I appreciate Ines’s feedback and I think it may have helped me narrow down my aims for next semester a great deal.
