Overall comments I think are fair to what the tutor has made, some I think I’ve slipped on with how I’ve communicated the idea of “Hidden Beauty”.
Thomas Pal Assignment Two feedback
Some of this I will look to address with further posts on this assignment and a slight edit change to a few images where I can now see where I’ve slightly drifted on course.
Shall I change to a see them in colour? Is a debate I’ve had through some of the exercises and assignments through EYV. I enjoy seeing things in black and white over colour hence the choice of medium with BnW.
Adding captions can be hit and miss, again something I saw through EYV and struggled with, do these need captions or not? To build on what my tutor has said with the language of abstraction, constraint and intrigue. I look to adjust a few of the weeker images to ones I’ve taken since I submitted this assignment.
- Research the idea and elaborate on your brian storming ideas
- Consider the who, the what and the whys to the idea
- Colour vs Black and White debate
- Aspect ratios
- Do I need to add text to an image
- Look at the suggested reading and viewing
I’m content with my technical approach to photography, it is the analytical side I believe I’m struggling with. My EYV final assessment results stated to read little and often and small chunks of data. I’ve started to do this and internet searches for ideas and concepts to how best develop an ongoing idea. For someone with no formal educational qualifications from school, I think I’m doing better than I first expected. I would probably think a few of my old teachers if they where still alive would probably laugh at me, where a few would be giving me a well-done pat on the back.
