This is the selection of images that I have ended up with at the end of my project, I chose them as I felt that in all of them there was a sense of an atmosphere being emitted from the buildings in the shots, through a mixture of scale, framing and tone, I had been able to capture what I had set out at the start of this project. Whilst I had been unable to shoot as much or as often as I would have liked, I had gained so many new skills and techniques that I had never worked with before starting this module, these included,
Processing my own B&W film
Shooting with medium format cameras
Shooting on 120 films
Planning out shoots for a creative purpose
Translating an idea, feeling or atmosphere into physical work and images
Working in a Darkroom and producing contact prints
Curating a selection of images
Applying more abstract and fine art styles of thinking and working
These new skills and techniques have been invaluable in my personal progression both as a photographer and as an artist. Therefore I feel that this module has been a success as I am far more confident in my skills after completing this project. However there are also many aspects I would do differently. These would include, working with the blog more, documenting my notes on the regular, shooting more, going to more places and booking out some kit from the kit stores as it would be foolish not to take advantage of the high end equipment on offer.
