MUSEUM – Latest Edit
The latest edit of my photographs from the candid portrait series ‘Museum’ is shown in a pdf slideshow below. I have yet to decide what work I will submit for assessment but it is likely that the museum work will have to be left out. Not fully sure about this yet. I will wait until […]
Walker Evans
January 11, 2013
Walker Evans was one of my key references for my Museum project. In my supporting text for this work I commented on Evans as follows: “In the late 1930s Walker Evans made candid portraits of people on the New York subway. He later said that the Subway portraits were “[his] idea of what a portrait […]
MUSEUM
June 22, 2012
I was encouraged by both tutors who assessed my Museum photographs to continue with the work. This I have been doing and plan to continue. I have decided to periodically post my latest edit to the blog to keep track on the development (and perhaps get some feedback). Based on my tutor’s comments and my […]
Assignment One: Museum – Submission and Feedback
June 7, 2012
I have now had feedback on Assignment One Museum Portraits. As this work was submitted to both my outgoing and incoming tutors I received feedback from both – quite a bonus! I will cover Moira Lovell’s feedback first. Moira’s comments were penetrating and questioning as has been my experience with her in the past – a […]
Second Assignment for my Tutor

The submission of my plan for the Advanced studies constituted my first assignment for the Advanced work. I now need to move on to the next assignment. I had a long discussion about this with Moira Lovell my tutor today. She has encouraged me to focus on one area for the moment and to present […]

I have been working on the selection and sequencing of my photographs for the Museum portraits. To assist in this process I have pulled my current batch of selects together into a short video slide show. I still have some work to do but this is now getting quite close to my final view. I […]
Museum Portraits Update
February 25, 2012
I have continued to work on my Museums project, which is a series of candid portraits of people looking at exhibits in London’s museums. The idea is to capture people in moments of reverie whilst gazing at exhibits. My aim is to make photographs which are sympathetic to the subjects whilst capturing the engagement between […]
Museum Portraits
February 2, 2012
I have been continuing with my candid portrait series of people viewing exhibits in Museums. Walker Evans’ ‘Subway’ photographs; Harry Callaghan’s portraits of women lost in thought on the streets of Chicago, and Philip-Lorca DiCorcia’s Heads are all precedents for this type of candid portrait series. see ‘(people) In Series, In Sequence’ and Exposed – Voyeurism, […]
Neopan 1600
December 23, 2011
I have been experimenting with different film types for the Museum portraits project. Fuji Neopan 1600 is emerging as my favourite…lovely grain and great contrast. Here is a street shot taken with the film rated at 3200 iso….
Museum Portraits
December 11, 2011
I have been working on a further idea for a portrait series. The concept is to capture portraits of people whilst they are viewing exhibits at Museums. Whilst engaged in looking at objects the subjects will be absorbed in their own thoughts about what they are seeing. The will not be putting on a ‘mask’. […]
