Eureka!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I have been struggling with this piece, trying to think of something inivitive and yet simple.\u00a0 I have used my new job as an excuse not to get on with it! to be fair it has been a bit, but I was really struggling with what story?, how will I find the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a proverbial ‘kick up the bum’ to try and get myself back on track, I decided to have a look at some other students blogs to see how they had approached this.\u00a0 In doing so I came across some tutor feedback to one student which I think became my eureka moment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Overall Comments. . . . . . This assignment is essentially about the same subject matter, but shot in\u00a0two different ways. It is a test of the input of the photographer to produce two\u00a0viewpoints (often in both senses of the word). To see yourself and your work\u00a0objectively like this \u2013 questioning how you produce work and what this\u00a0communicates \u2013 is a difficult task . . . . .<\/p>https:\/\/scottishzoecontextandnarrative.wordpress.com\/2018\/05\/11\/assignment-1-response-to-tutor\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Suggested reading\/viewingI suggest you look at three projects on the Yangtze river. Comparing different\u00a0photographers work in this way should illustrate how it is the photographer and (in\u00a0this case) their differing methodologies, which can produce very different\u00a0outcomes. This relates directly to this assignment, where the subject matter can\u00a0be largely similar, yet the results diverse. The Yellow River by Zhang Kechun\u00a0http:\/\/www.zhangkechun.com\/the-yellow-river\/\u00a0<\/a> Mother River by Yann Wang Preston\u00a0http:\/\/www.yanwangpreston.com\/projects\/images<\/a> and Nadav Kander\u2019s The long river\u00a0https:\/\/www.lensculture.com\/articles\/nadav-kander-yangtze-the-long-river\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0I recommend reading On Being a Photographer: a Practical Guide by David Hurn and Bill\u00a0Jay, LensWork Publishing, Portland (2007).<\/strong> This book is more about a photographer\u2019s\u00a0approach, attitude and their mind-set, rather than technicalities (as the title might\u00a0suggest).”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Looking at the three examples above, I was particularly struck by the work of Nadav Kander<\/a> but also the difference in the approaches to the three bodies of work.\u00a0 Some subtle and some less so.\u00a0 Kander was definitely struck by the pace of change and how people were feeling because of it, where as Wan Preston’s images were very structured and placed based.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has given me a much clearer idea of my goal with this set of images now.\u00a0 I found a cheap copy of ‘On being a photographer’ so will have a look at that when it arrives and in the meantime will have a think about my subject for this assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
