Santander Photo Exhibition, 2 years on

Posted on May 16, 2015May 13, 2015 by Kate

It’s been two years since the #Picbod class took flight opened the first Santander Photo Festival. I have had chance to reflect on this collaboration recently and think about how learning communities are extremely powerful and can truly build friendships. I still speak to Charo often about possible collaborations and projects, albeit it is very…

Being Active in a Community

Posted on February 17, 2015March 29, 2015 by Kate

Being part of an online community is something that I have been doing actively since I guess 2013. You could say that I’m a real newbie. What I mean by ‘actively being in a community’ is being part of conversations with people I don’t know, but have shared interests with. Until then I had been…

Santander PHOTO

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Kate

Seven level two photography students are taking the last steps in organising their trip to Santander. Following the success of the #Picbod13 Exhibition at Fargo in Coventry, two remote students on the course have been working collaboratively with the students organising another exhibition overseas.   The Picbod course, led by Matt Johnston, was a hit,…

#Picbod Digital Artefact

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Kate

Not only did we have to make a physical artefact ready for exhibition, but also an appropriate digital version. The digital version should not be just a scan of the artefact as the magic would be lost. As I made a photobook and spent quite a lot of time designing and making it, I decided…

#Picbod13 Exhibition

Although the #Picbod13 installation is not quite complete, we’re almost there!! The two day event opens on Friday 8th March with a big celebration of 32 Coventry University students’ work along side the work of the remote students across the world.

#Picbod Jonathan Worth “Negotiation”

Posted on March 6, 2013 by Kate

Jonathan Worth asked the class whether we think of ourselves as photographers, oddly few raised their hands. He then asked us what is a photographer? The discussion varies between a ‘professional editorial photographer’ to an author, telling photographic narratives. They say that there are a thousand words to every picture after all. How much can…

Digital Artefact Research

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Kate

As I have made my physical artefact, a photobook, I decided that I wanted to create a digital video explaining the design while showing the production of the book. However, I felt that I wanted to look at other short films beforehand. Firstly, I looked at Ed Kashi’s ‘Eye Contact’. The video is a photofilm…

#Picbod: Editing and Designing the Photobook

Posted on February 25, 2013 by Kate

Such a long process it has been to create my photobook now entitled ‘unwelcome Invitation’. Original Idea: To narrow the horizon between photographer and viewer as intruders, I wanted the portraits to be hidden inside envelopes to be opened up. However, to break this up I wanted to include ‘rests’ of artefacts within the homes…

Michelle Sank – Into the Arms of Babes

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Kate

Michelle Sank came to Coventry University on Thursday to talk about her photographic works. She spoke of her relationship with light and how she is drawn to light from the coast, as it reminds her of the colour richness from her upbringing in South Africa. However, for me, I was drawn to the indoor portraits…
