AD4803 Street// Set exercise 003- The big wide O

Driving while phoned ‘For as long as I can remember I’ve had a camera beside me while driving. Any time I’m behind the wheel it sits nearby on the center console.

AD4803 Street// Homework 1- Pre-Focus and/or Shooting off the Hip
Unfortunatley I wasn’t able to go out and take the images in town so experimented in my garden. For this task we had to shoot off the hip.

Jean Guamy’s approach to documenting the Pandemic, consists of documenting one famiy.

AD4803 Street// Practitioner research 3-Carolyn Drake
I was Drawn to Carolyn Drakes work, due to the simplicity and the well thoughout composition of each shot. The shots genreally contain a lot of white, often framing the main subject. The effect of this within context is isolation, the subject tends to be surrounded by white and ‘secluded’ within the shot itself, symbolic…
AD4803 Street// Practitioner research 2- Richard Kalvar

AD4803 Street// 30 days 30 nights- First attempt
30 days and night reflection: I am pleased with the outcomes from this project. I found it difficult to persistently shoot everyday. It was a case, most days, of shooting late at night after having a buy day and forgetting. On the days where I went out of my way to shoot for this project…
