My Final Website Review
I am really happy with my website and the changes I have made. I am also glad I chose a platform that was quite hard to learn but has taught me a lot about website creating and user accessibility. My website leaves viewers space to observe and divulge in my images, i want them to… Read more

Website Changes
I have been altering my website today and trying out a few new additions to my layout. I wanted to make my website more personal and so decided to try using my name handwritten as the header on every page. I wrote my name and then removed the background on illustrator. I really like the… Read more

My Instagram Reflection: Now and Then
I mentioned before how I struggled using a separate instagram for my images, as I wouldn’t remember to post and tended to prioritise my personal instagram. The decision to merge the two was one that I felt worried about, as i find it hard to share and like my own work anyway, but doing this… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 20
This post brought my up to my total of 50. I was really looking forward to sharing this work as it’s one of my strongest and most personal. I feel proud that a year on i still thinks its good as that’s something I tend to struggle with. I chose the more blue images to… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 19
I got these rendered with some assistance from a friend as I can’t seem to find my original book that I made. I think these make my instagram look more professional and the work itself, so this is something I have done with other works on my website. I received some greta feedback already even… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 18
**** Edited. My sister made me remove the post as she didn’t like the image of herself. I was really disappointed because i love the image but it all brought out the subject of ethics and permission. I do need to consider whose portraits I’m sharing with the world, as they are my images but… Read more

Presentation Review
I had my artist presentation today over Skype, which usually I would feel extremely nervous about as i don’t enjoy speaking in front of others, especially about my own work. However, I think throughout presenting in second year and third year I have grown to become more confident when speaking in front of others and… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 17
I posted this image as I wanted to add a little more colour to my instagram and illustrate the different palettes I photograph. I also enjoyed zooming into an archival image to capture the details and colour contrast. This image went down well with my followers, perhaps as its more casual and bright than my… Read more

Portfolio Review with Ibby Azab
We recently gained the opportunity to send our work to Revolv photography agency and have it reviewed by some of their clients. I was really excited by the chance as I have struggled putting a portfolio together before and to have someone in industry review our work seemed like a great idea just before we… Read more

My Website Review: Development
This is my website at the moment. I have taken a more minimalist approach as I felt my images needed space around them and I’m not too keen on copying the instagram grid layout, although it works for some people. An image from each of my projects is on a slow slideshow, allowing viewers to… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 16
I’ve been enjoying manipulating my images a little more, zooming in and cropping to create a background or frame. I really like this post of my little cousin, as it fits with my interest in family and the colours work so well together. It’s light and fun and I felt it was perfect for the… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 15
This is my most recent post. I took a week out as I didn’t feel very motivated or excited about my older images but I decided to look through some old holiday photos and came across these. The lovely thing about my archive is that the majority of the images I have always wanted to… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 14
I decided to post something a little different as i wanted to see how followers would react and also how this image would look on instagram. It was a film image taken in first year and I have an appreciation for it because of the harsh grain which contrasts so well with the different grey… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 13
As the weather gets nicer I thought it would be good to reflect on past summers and the joyful memories created. I find the boys portraits comical and simple, the image in the middle separating the two and illustrating a beautiful summer light in the welsh town we visited that day. I’m really enjoying making… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 12
I have tried to vary what I’ve been posting, sharing images from my personal archive that haven’t been shown before as well as fully considered projects. I have always felt nervous sabot showing this project as its quite personal and could also be seen in a negative light. However, I also think it’s playful and… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 11
I have a new found love for combining archival images together. I wanted to post both the images above but was struggling with changing them to a square format and using the simple white border to decided i could try placing them together. I think it adds new life to the portrait and varies from… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 10
This is an image that I’ve wanted to share for a long time but it never fitted into my series when I initially took it and felt out of place on my old instagram. Now I am sharing archive work however, I feel it has gained its place. By posting this I hope I can… Read more

My Instagram Review: Post 9
Due to the current circumstances, I decided to start posting some archival images that I have always loved but that didn’t have a place in my projects. I thought this would be a nice change for followers and also illustrate the more causal, playful element of my work. I simply captioned the work with the… Read more

My Instagram Takeover Reflection
Overall I found the takeover challenging but really positive. It encouraged me to share work that I probably wouldn’t have wanted to as I felt it wasn’t finished or ready for an audience. I also gained more experience with captions and engaging with an audience. The conversational tone was easy and comfortable so something I… Read more

My Instagram Takeover: Post Three
This was my final post for my takeover. I decided to post my WIP as I feel its important to share what you are working on and illustrate that work sometimes takes a long time to come together. In these troubling times I felt that my work concerning nature has been so beneficial for me… Read more
