I have been using video as a medium for showing some of my work. Specifically I have made two videos which will very probably form part of my submission for the assessment at level 3. So far I had made the videos using the Export Slideshow facility of Adobe Lightroom. This works very well but […]

A few weeks ago I received feedback from Jesse on the above assignment. I outlined the nature of my submission in a previous post. This is my report on his comments and my learning points.

I am producing a portrait series by photographing myself immediately after key workouts in my training schedule. For the photograph I will be wearing the clothing used for the workout.

I have been thinking about this project and will probably try a few different alternatives to see how the photographs shape up. My first thought is that this might be an extension of the main ‘I am an Ironman’ project. I would make a series of portraits of myself immediately after key workouts during my […]

I have just made a self portrait to be included in the ‘I am an Ironman’ series. It is interesting making self portraits.
