So working with the idea of intrusion I decided to knock on the door of the girl’s across the road this morning as they were just making some tea. They were not wonderfully comfortable with me being there, especially armed with a tripod and a couple of cameras. Like Ornowska, I wanted to have…

#picbod Couples: Joanna Ornowska
With formal portraiture again, Joanna Ornowska, depicts love as a climb. From the easy flat fields with the fast pace to the face of the mountain. She photographed couples in the peak district as they were walking the hills. They are all in portrait fashion, focusing on the subjects. Although formulaic in her approach and…
#picbod Dona Schwartz – On the Nest
On the Nest is an ongoing photographic series of work surrounding the adaption of space to make way for new life. It is how parents have prepared their ‘nest’ for their unborn child. The settings are of the baby’s room; their critical decision making for how they would like their child to see the world….
#Picbod Task 3 Critique
So after ‘ Nude and Naked’ today we had our usual critique. However, this time I knew that my image had more to it than just for the purpose of this week’s task so I was quite keen to hear about what people thought to it. The main response was how it certainly does show…
#picbod groundworks
I am really happy with my ‘nude and naked’ task response. I like the formal set-up of something quite ordinary as I feel that there is something more for the audience to gain, a sort of sense of intrusion and unease. Thinking about this I have had to try and brain storm more ideas along…

#Picbod Weekly Task: Nude and Naked
I knew I wasn’t happy with last week’s previous task and felt that I had to take a step back in what I really wanted to show and then the execution of it. From the feedback session it was fairly typical that there was a general theme of ‘this is me and my boyfriend in…
#Picbod Task 2
Needless to say that I, like many other have really struggled with this task. Naturally every day life gets in the way of tying people down to photograph. I have photographed Jamie, as seen. However, with working late nights, catching up with uni work as well as working at IKON gallery in Birmingham throughout the…

#Picbod Photograph your Tribe
Throughout our relationship together I have photographed Jamie in ‘our space’. Within these walls we talk of stories and of our anxieties about our lives outside of these spaces. Jamie is really comfortable with me photographing him. I don’t do it all the time, because I don’t objectify him and every day life does…
