Guest Lecture Jenny Lewis

Over the course of this final semester we are incredibly lucky to have a series of guest lecturers coming in to discuss their work and the professional industry, including some very exciting names such as Richard Billingham. facing the daungting challenge of breaking into the photographic industry


Today we had a great guest lecture by photographer Jenny Lewis, who provided us with an invaluable and fresh perspective into the professional industry

You can visit Jenny's website here to see her fantastic portfolio of portraits bursting with personality, and the beautiful, empowering and truly intimate photographic series One Day Young. 

24Solent

These photographs were taken as part of a mini project at uni, 24hours in Southampton, all students were asked to submit photographs taken on the 20th November, and were then uploaded to this website: 24solent

"This project follows in the tradition of mass observation projects and we hope to capture a wide range of subjects and places in Southampton, 24HRS 20/11/13"

These are the photographs that I submitted to the website, all three were taken on 20/11/13 between 3-4.pm. I decided to photograph them at home seen as I have been spending a lot of time recently tied to my desk in an attempt to write my final essay. I actually really enjoyed creating still life's and this might be something I'll have to revisit in the near future. 

Starting our final year

So as october begins to approach, the knots in my stomach pull tighter! I haven't quiet figured out yet if this is excitement or if I am just scared shitless! I really can't wait to get back into working properly, but at the same time, I am terrified about what comes next, leaving uni, and joining the rest of the world. But I guess it's no different than every other student in the country and furthermore, I have a feeling I should be focusing on actually getting the grades to graduate. But one thing I have decided, is that I will set myself the goal of using this blog properly come october, as a space to try to organise my thoughts coherently. Every exhibition visited, research completed and experiment gone wrong, should hopefully be put on here so I can see my progress, and you never know get feedback from other people?  I would also love to transfer all of my posts from my previous blogs onto here, so I would have a whole compendium of my time at solent, but technology really just isn't my thing.
