Feedback

I received very important feedback from my group who gave me advice and asked me questions about my work. I found it very helpful as the questions made me think where I want to take my project .

The advice I was given firstly was - Take a look at 20th century still life. Which I am going to look at the work done than and take a look at other centuries of work and see if their is a comparison.

I was asked - At what scale would you print your work at the end of the project? After discussing the work the class thought on a large scale to make comparison to how small the object is as the metal pipe was small.

When showing the class the images of the metal rust pipe there was a class discussion about the images. One pupil said they didn't know what the object was and to my amazement I never realised that they wouldn't know what it was as it is zoomed in so much. I got suggested taking the work a different angle and doing images of objects that the viewer wouldn't know what it was as it was so close up.

I got asked questions such as, where did you find the object? and I explained I found it on the beach where I live and the class came up with maybe taking the pictures of the pipe where you found it. Or taking an image in its environment and than take it into a studio and show the pictures next to each other. Which I thought was an interesting idea that I might explore.

Furthermore I got told my pictures looked like forensic photography and I was amused by this idea and wanted to find out more. So I am going to look at focusing on forensic photography and seeing what I think to incorporating it into my idea. Also when showing my photos of the rusty pipe which where in black & white and colour I got told they prefer the coloured version better as it shows more detail and helped the viewers at first work out that the object was by the orange rust. They said to get as much detail I should take the image in colour and I agree also as it will add more depth to my photos.
