I’ve just had my interview with Cian Quayle, Jeremy Turner and Thomas Dukes. When it was my turn to enter I made sure to present myself professionally and shook hands with the interviewer and presented my printbox so I could take out the photos for Thomas and the lecturers to look through.
I focused my chat on how I was inspired by Rodchenko and Bresson in creating images that focused on exploring unique angles and high vantage points to offer unique perspectives in often visited locations. Thomas brought up that there were some things such as the focus point of my work which focused differed a bit much from Rodchenko and Bresson who often people within the environment as there sources.
I started to stutter a bit and Thomas went over my photos, he pointed out a few flaws mainly the lack of activity that brings life to the photos and some felt a bit boring to look at.
After the interview I felt like it could’ve gone better, I struggled to articulate a better narrative of my photo selection and it could do with some extra depth as well as looking into more relevant photographers for my work, it was interesting experience and this will help me with my upcoming big project and what to focus on for my shoots and what my narrative build up to.
