Feedback Feedback I received on my initial submission was generally positive with the main area for improvement to be that of editing, or shot selection, for the final set.

Assignment 2: Collections
Background and Approach In my initial thoughts, I describe how I decided to select ‘Crowds’ for this project. Over a long weekend, I was travelling in the Cotswolds and stayed in a town called Bourton on The Water. I was in the area to look for a house to buy and my wife and I […]
Research: Saul Leiter and influence on Colour Street Photography
Research I chose to research Saul when I came across the phrase ‘Instinctively for him, colour was the picture.’ (The Photographers’ Gallery, 2016). This is a phrase I would not have expected to see in an article about street photography and so it caught my attention. My work on this course is all about exploration […]

Research The Man I have selected this photographer for specific research because of the work he produced in response to his fellowship award from Guggenheim to investigate the effects that media has on public events.

Research: Landscape Photographers Calendar Workshop / Tony Worobiec
I attended the RPS Landscape Photographers Calendar Workshop training course (Worobiec, 2017) to pursue further my interest in photographing landscapes and in particular, to explore further the interest that my studies have triggered in the idea that not all photographs have to have the ‘wow’ magazine cover look in order to have value; in fact […]
