Shanghai 09

Tue Jun 16, 2009, 8:58 AM
The photos are now up!
18 Hand processed, cared for and thought about black and white images.
The experience of shooting in such an alien environment gave me a great insight into photography. It was great to see somewhere as a complete unknowledgeable outsider, and to see somewhere completely fresh rather than the normal and expected.
Shooting on film made me think about the images more. I knew I would spend a lot of time and effort processing and scanning the images, so I only took images that I was confident would be a sucess, rather than the usual happy snapping digital method of taking as many as you want and breezing through to find the best ones. It is a far better approach to image making and one I shall try to use more often.

Please have a look at the photographs! I have put myself into them, and would appreciate your time.

enjoy.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

See you in a few weeks back for the start of term. BTW, great shots of Shanghai, particularly the B&W shots 10 & 13, there's a real sense of scale to them.

Cheers,

Matt

you're welcome :) i saw you on yougofurther when i was searching for people who do photog ed&ad at gloucestershire. are you on the course? i have my interview soon :|

Oh cool cool, yea im 1st year now, soon be second.
Very good course! Just got back from a part-sponsered 2 1/2 week trip to Shanghai which was one of the best experiences of my life. Definitely a good course.
Good luck with the interview. Try to be relaxed and talk to them as friends rather than feared enemies. Its not a job interview, but it feels like one.

i dont think the interview went well at all. john didnt really like my work and i had to answer two questions with 'i dont know' which was pretty bad but there was no way i could lie. my tutor reckons ive got in from what i told her cos at the end of the interview john said 'im glad ive seen this' about a sketch book i showed him. i think ill get rejected though tbh. bad times :(
