Formal Intervention

After experimenting with some ideas, I have decided to concentrate on Allotments as my Formal Intervention. A space in the City where people plant vegetables, plants and fruit. Having visited one on Peverell Pk Road and finding it an interesting space to study, I could see that the lines and shapes of the vegetation, the array of implements, the recycling of household goods, could be just what I was looking for. In fact I have thought that I could expand on this project to make it a possible subject for my Work Based Learning Assignment.

These are a few experimental shots on Digital, taken in colour and converted to Black and White. The actual images will be taken on Black and White 120 film.

 For the actual images I think I will have to focus more on contrast and textures. Its all a learning process!

Introduction

One of our Module's this year is 'Work Based Learning' and for this we have to write a professional blog. So this is mine!

Digital photography has been abondoned and we are learning to use Medium and Large Format Cameras. Yesterday I took the Hasslblad out with me and drove to Cothele where I shot some images on colour film. I'm hoping that there will be at least one or two successful prints, but until the negatives have been developed I wont know.

I'm not sure what my 'Work Based Learning' will be but I need to look at the list we've been given to decide which Photography discipline I want to focus on. But I am keen to experiment with different disciplines and dont want to limit myself at this stage of my development.

The following are images I shot on 35mm film.
