Pho 703 Reflection- An Impasse
This module has proven pivotal in moving my project along. Ive looked at different ways of presenting the images, creating the images. Its involved exploring the moving image and the brief to create a trailer led me into looking in a less linear manner, by which I mean moving my gaze away from the tableau
PHO 703 Week 11: Work In Progress
“The act of photography is like going on a hunt in which photographer and camera merge into one indivisible function. This is a hunt for new states of things, situations never seen before, for the improbable, for information” (Flusser) The leaning tower of Pisa, as iconically Italian as the Eiffel Tower is Parisian.However given
Pho 703 Week 9 Reflection & Observations Part 1
One of the big learning curves and discoveries for me during this module is that your art doesnt have to be printed huge and stuck to a wall in a gallery to be ‘art’. An image can be made and displayed in a myriad of ways and indeed these methods may well contributes to the
Pho 703 Week 6 Reflection & Activity Models of exhibition spaces

PHO 703- Week 5 Publication
For this activity, we have been asked to create a ‘dummy’ publication that relates to our FMP project. A draft version in full. Whereas an exhibition operates in a specific space and towards an intended audience for a limited period of time, a publication offers a viewer an opportunity to live with a collection of
PHO 703- Week 4: Strategies of Freedom- Reflection
So this week has been fascinating, all very relevant to my own FMP even if I didnt realise it initially. Ive already written a short piece about how I approached the ‘hands off’ activity, essentially using a Google news search using the words, Trump, Border, Wall, Brexit to generate web pages and then screen capture
PHO 703- Week 4: Strategies of Freedom Hands Off Task
This was this weeks task which asked us to reconsider our relationship with our preferred apparatus by NOT using it. Having 24 hours to produce a mini-series of five images relating to our research projects, without using apparatus that is familiar to you. All images must be produced on Wednesday 26th June between 00:00am and 23:59 (local time). Without using apparatus familiar to me? My first
