CRoP Bullet Points

A bullet-point list to help with the structure of my Critical Review of Practice –

1.4.0 Shoot #19

Again I find myself in the awkward position of having a group of images from a shoot but do not have formal permission from the subject to use them.

1.4.0 Shoot #16

Bi men are surprisingly honest!

1.4.0 Shoot #10 & #11

Would it be cheating to include these two shoots into the project?

Ethics & Expectations

“to photograph people is to violate them by seeing them as they have never seen themselves, having knowledge of them they can never have. It turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. “ (Susan Sontag; On Photography. Harpenden: Penguin. 1979, p.14)

Release 1.4.0

Once again I have struggled to find a subject fitting for my next project. The previous module’s video piece was resolved so I need to create something new.

Reflections Mod4 Week4

I have created a ‘shout-out’ poster to try to raise some participants that I can interview to find out their experiences of being HIV+ in Cornwall. This will hopefully give a grounding to the film as well as possibly giving me some creative ideas on how to proceed.

Reflections Mod3 Week3

Prior to this MA I guess my work was very self contained. While I obviously did work with others I had a very distinct aim in mind for what I wanted to achieve.

Responses and Responsibilities

Photographies powers of persuasion
Has photography made us charity blind…compassion fatigue (as Sontag would argue)
