I’m really pleased that Clive agreed with my decision to reshoot my assignment. I must learn not to doubt myself. I knew once I’d finished the images that I was much happier with the results and Clive’s comment that “the reworked assignment shows you how important it is to follow your bliss” has a real resonance with me.
I was called out on my lack of book reading and he’s definitely right, I have done quite alot of research on line, but not books, so I have rectified that by buying a few of the books on the reading list. (secondhand from Amazon!)
- The Genius of Photography, Gerry Badger
- The Photograph: A Visual and Cultural History (Oxford History of Art)
- Ways of Seeing (Penguin Modern Classics)
- How to Read a Photograph: Understanding, Interpreting and Enjoying the Great Photographers.
The first one arrived this morning, so expect a book review shortly
Clive’s advice for the next assignment, is to take my time and ‘find what feels most you’. This will the be last impression an assessor will have of my work so it needs to show my progress from assignment 1. Having had a quick look at the brief, I think this could be very interesting
