Assignment 1 - Tutor feedback
Ive Just received my tutor report for my first assignment, the verdict? there are good points and not so good points!. Right the good points first, Peter, my tutor stated that most of images I submitted were of a good standard and some were very strong and well thought out. Some however some of the contrasts didn't quite hit the spot.
Having mulled over which images to submit in the first place, the very ones I thought were going to be weaker than the others, were weaker!, I should have got with my instincts and submitted the ones I had first thought and not over analysed.
Peter states that I had taken a fairly literal style in relation to contrasts on most of my images, where this was ok to a point it could stifle my own creativity. He suggested that I look up some photographers that use this style such as Bernd & Hila Becher, Ed Rushca, Stephen Gill and Sugimoto. I'm going to research these photographers and investigate their style a little deeper.
In the meantime, i'm moving on with the next series of exercises and assignments in ernest.
Rich, glad to hear your assignment has gone well. The first one is the worst I think because you don't quite know what to expect or what is expected of you. You seem to have a good tutor too. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your pics.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicola, thanks for your comments, i'm gaining a little more confidence now and hopefully this will be reflected in the images
