In anticipation for my new project I thought I'd better
share with you the photographers in my research who's work I have found
inspiring. I haven't been posting recently as my project work has taken over my
life but this post 'Julian Germain' as his series 'For every minute you are
angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness' was important to the project and the
series is beautiful aesthetically and really helped my project get out of a
pretty deep rut. This projects different poses and interesting details reminded
me that documentary work is about 'seeing' and along with the advice of Paul Wenham
Clarke (a tutor at AUCB) I came to a very big conclusion with my work.
This
conclusion (though I feel I already knew this and hadn't admitted it) was that
my work was suffering through lack of technical skill still. On my course we've
been barely taught the essentials, so with PWC's advice I went out and brought
more lighting equipment to play with over Christmas. Hopefully my camera will
be repaired and ready for testing so I can get a solid lighting technique as I
need this so I can concentrate on taking a great portrait! Along with writing
my dissertation, passing my driving test and general Christmassy things!
