He had sent me the note in advance of the chat, so I had an idea of his thoughts about the assignment, but that didn&#8217;t stop me feeling nervous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was pleasantly surprised by his feedback, as he felt that I produced a &#8216;mature&#8217; piece of work, which he qualified by meaning: confident, technically proficient and subjects well placed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He felt that the influence of August Sander and Rineke Dijkstra could be seen in the presentation of the work and he liked the fact that I&#8217;d added, terms like &#8216;furloughed&#8217; and &#8216;shielding&#8217; to the captions, which helped fix the subjects in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We discussed the fact that the work is not that original, but I reflected that, I had realised that, but it was a choice between doing something original or progressing the course.  In this time of COVID-19, it&#8217;s difficult to explore things, I might have chosen otherwise.  My tutor did say that had I asked him beforehand if this was a good subject, he would have said yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a discussion about what I want to say as a photographer and my preference for genres.  I know that I have started to explore much more of my own ideas, and that I prefer to photograph people, but I&#8217;m still working on what it is I want to say to the world through my photography, or what it is I want to find in people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also discussed reducing the resolution of the images I post on my blog, as they may take longer to load.  He suggested a size of 1500 px longest edge and a dpi of 150.  I agreed to experiment with what still looks ok on my blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top Take Aways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Work is mature, confident, technically proficient<\/li><li>Keep exploring conronavirus as a subject during this time as this in an opportunity to exploit a time that won&#8217;t happen again (hopefully)<\/li><li>Explore photographing people in their own environments.<\/li><li>Consider what it is I want to say about people.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feedback notes from my tutor &#8211; click here Following submission of my 1st assignment, I had a &#8216;Hangout&#8217; tutorial with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52,55],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-learning-log","category-self-reflection"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":433,"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429\/revisions\/433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/debraflynnphotography.co.uk\/OCA\/identityandplace\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
