Learning Agreement: Group Crit
I found this session most helpful as I'd briefly started to get some images together to start working on the project and I received plenty of feedback to help push my ideas forward.
I was firstly given a few photographers to consider when analysing and comparing work as I had only a few to work with so far.
We discussed how I may find it difficult working with such a personal subject close to not only myself but also my family having to write notes. Therefore I could open up the subject and be universal with it.
At the minute I'm working with the objects and a piece of text. Students commented on how I could work with a diptych/ triptych by including a portrait with the image of the object and text.
The images I presented turned out a little darker than expected. The students picked up on that as I explained that I wanted to present more comfort within the images rather than pain. The images just need to be lightened for the effect to be recognised.
Within the learning agreement I couldn't think of very much for the context of my work, but I soon realised that I didn't give it much thought as the most obvious one was there... Wedding Photography! Especially for the image of the rings. This is actually an area of work I want to go into after finishing university, therefore this would be a great start and approach into that. I have completed a wedding shoot before back when I first found interest in photography, therefore this project can help develop ideas and practise for any future events. Today wedding photography is also becoming more documentary which I love even more as I prefer photographing in that style.
A student commented on the book format that I plan on presenting my work within as a submission piece. They said it reminded them of a wedding guest book having people sign and leave notes within. This is something I could look into for further research of presentation for the final piece.
As well as that it was also considered having these notes written on paper and placed within an envelope creating a more physical approach to the work drawing interest to my viewers.
After this session I came out feeling a lot more confident about the project and its final stages and what I needed to do to achieve this.
