This afternoon we had another Alumni Portfolio review day, I have been eagerly awaiting this day for a while as the feedback given is always incredible. I chose to see Laura Patrick again as I wanted to show her some of my new work and ask a few questions about the professional practice module.
I also saw alumni Josh Wilde as he is mainly studio and I thought he would be able to give me a few tips if needed. He said he really liked the lens images as (above) and that the lighting used for the darker image (below) would look great through a lens. I expressed how I had thought the same thing and had even tried the idea out, however, because of the dark lighting the lens would not focus.
Josh suggested I merge the images together and advised playing around with a slower shutter speed so that you could see more movement.
When asked about?
Websites Josh said he uses a Wix paid site.
Putting together a portfolio - he recommended Sim imaging.
Printing final large prints - Josh recommended the digital press at the university.
Laura loves the lens images and said they would look great in a flip book or as a gif. I told her how I was struggling to find a title and she said a thesaurus is my best friend so I'm going to spend some time playing around with words.
When asked about?
Websites - she recommended WordPress as a host and said a website with a black background would look good.
Putting together a portfolio and final prints - she recommended Charlie Meecham
We selected my final three images together and I couldn't be happier with them. And spoke combining the dark images with the lens images.
Overall the day was a great success, I've selected my final three images, been advised on websites and am now one step closer to finding a title.
