So here is my submission for task four. I decided that I was not ready to invade people’s spaces, so I sat in a barbers shop and watched this guy have his hair cut. I don’t know his name, but he was saying that he has a job interview for a shop in town…

#picbod 35mm tests
So before jumping in with the medium format 120mm film, I have spent time with the Pentax Asahi s1a and some (terribly cheap) 200ISO colour film. I do regret getting such horrendous film because I feel that I could have received much higher quality images. But still, for tests, they serve good purpose. To date…
#picbod Responding to Lisa Potts
On Thursday we listened to an intense audio conversation between Jonathan Worth and Lisa Potts. Lisa was a stab victim in the face of protecting the school children she worked with at a school in 1996. She shared her eye-witness story of how the attacker lept the fences, drew a machete to attack the children…
#picbod plan
So, I have been thinking about a diverse range of people to include in my project, but where best to start than home, right? I have decided to head back to the flats of Lincolnshire next weekend to see my immediate family. However, the idea of intrusion differs between photographer and viewer; for me, intruding…
#picbod Shooting through ideas
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 Nude and Naked lecture and workshop
So, in Thursday’s session we first of all had a lecture about the nude and naked. We discussed the argument between nude and naked. What means what and then what that means in the art world. In the language of art, “good naked” is conveyed by the word “nude”, while if you say “naked”, you…
