Project Proposal

I started this course to learn about photographer and how to use my equipment. My intention was to leave after the access course. During the course In the first year I enjoyed learning about the different photographers this inspired me further into researching and attending exhibitions. I have always been drawn to documentary and social photography. Learning in class, critical studies and exhibitions developed my interests further.

My own portfolio represents my interest in the genre that I would like to purse in the future. My main body of work in my portfolio has my social documentary work and I have been told that this work is my strongest.

The following images are from my first year during the Access year. 2010/11

My  technical skills with the camera were very weak and most of the workshop I found very challenging. This reflects in my work during the first year

 This year my technical skills improved and I became more confident. I had more direction in my work and was inspired by other photographers. During this year I did a range of different work. This was studio work with models and advertising products. I also did a lot of street photography. I found talking to people on the street easy and I was comfortable taking street Images. My work had better composition and I undertook a few paid jobs.
