Post Reflection
I think that positive steps have been made, although approaching people unknown isn’t visually documented it has happened within the background, the presentation to a group of people, speaking to individuals within the group and this is the foundation for the whole unit.
There was a consensus that the litter didn’t really work, this is something that can be easily addressed by removing them. What I could have done in the first instant was to split them and review the two different presentations with the litter and without. This would have helped me in the selection process.
There was a view that maybe it was lacking the presents of people in part or whole and this weakened the work, but people did find the bollards interesting and an alternative approach. This is due to a positive attitude with creative risk and alternative approaches to briefs while accepting that they are subject to failure because the brief has been pushed to far. However the failure is an important process in development of self and working practice.
On the opposite side view that there was a of the lack of people my tutor was engaged by them, and was reading there gaze even though in the knowledge she what they were and that people are programmed to see to a certain way, we look for clues, facial expression ect ect and that this I guess that this is a representation of different children/ people. This was strengthened by the text and that maybe it could be incorporated more directly.
The gaze needs to be considered and how the viewer may interact with or read the work.
I need to find a way to record and collect research on relevant photographers and artist. I think that this will help me later, on not just is this unit but right up to the end of the degree and beyond. Has I begin to find my voice and self, there will be a core of photographers and artist that will be relevant to my own interests, photographic practice and help inform my own work.
I need to pay attention to technical detail – i.e the colour cast that effected the litter. This can be achieved by practice and reading up on this technical element. If I can correctly shoot with the correct white balance but choose to have a colour cast is would be an informed choice that could be clear justify on a technical basis – See I can do it but I used the colour cast because……..
When my tutor asked me how I felt about the work if I remember correctly, I said “Yeah there okay” but maybe that’s because they are mine. Maybe they are too conceptual without context making them weaker. But not all work will work, and this is my growing desire to push hard not just myself but the boundaries of the briefs making them my own.
Not the strongest of starts but it is positive start on which I can build on.
