Photographic Publication of the Year 2018

Shortly before the final hand in for university, I have also been working on producing two extra photobooks for a competition at Łódź Fotofestiwal commencing in June 2018. It was difficult to do this alongside submission, especially because instead of producing one book and maybe a spare - I produced four (two for the competition).…

Exhibition ready!

So today, I had the final errands to run - picking up prints, frames and putting them together. As I couldn't remember which beach wood frames I ordered due to a mad week last week, it was a pleasant surprise picking them up! The prints themselves, which were printed on photo rag paper, were printed…

UV Printing

As I intended to print on Perspex for the exhibition, I have recently bought two sheets of 3mm A3 size Perspex from a local company in Wakefield. During this busy period, I struggled to get an answer about printing on Perspex as all members of staff are super busy and we also had a bank…

Complications with Final Book

Today, I was meant to be picking up my prints for my final photo book for the deadline next week. I went to Hobs Repro hopeful that I will be met with my requirements and specifications which I have outlined on my last visit.

Book Printing Preparation

Continuined experimentation with film.

During the final push of my degree, we have been experiencing some lovely weather in Huddersfield. So, I decided to take out my Zenit around my neighbourhood to experiment shooting on it further. I've shot digital throughout my whole life, so film is still quite a new tool to me. Since shooting in Poland, and…

Exhibition Planning

As we're coming to the end of the term, and closer to the deadlines, I have had my last individual tutorials which I used to explain my ideas for the exhibition. After speaking to PHD student Alex Beldea and tutor Stella, I had thought about using Perpex within my installation. The layering aspect of my…
