I really like the developments you have inserted earlier in your project....the text. The over exposed and colour images also show a dynamic alternative to the dreary black and white images. Could this be something to do in the exam?

Can't really see much development since a fortnight ago. The issues in terms of development still stand. You are doing yourself out of many marks.by being so repetitive.

28th April
You're doing yourself a disservice by not including the contact sheets etc for your work. Don't forget your screen grabs to document the process.
Not enough development of images here. There needs to be a shift as your work is repetitive and not necessarily improving each time. One way that you could make it far more interesting is film / photograph places very early in the morning so that you observe the gradual build up. Liverpool Street and other parts of the city. I like the split screen film but the speeded up people can look comical. Could you have a city half of the screen and a more bustling side?
You don't need to include this as you don't really want someone doing exactly the same as you.
I have developed my skills in it and i fell i have perfected the technique. I am yet to find an artist who creates these images using the same technique, I feel this is an advantage to my work as i am not taking any inspiration from other pieces of work and the idea is original. It's far more sophisticated to discuss taking inspiration from one photographers technique, another's subject matter, another's form of presentation.
MORE photos and DOCUMENT your process!!

Next stage of development (don't worry about strands)- movement of people in the city, time lapse, layering images.
Instead of photographing people use light trails. Look at the work of Tokihiro Sato particularly the images on stairs, in front of buildings etc.

Individual analyse of artist's work needs to be done not just talking around the subject but going into detail.
Create Artist and me section where Artists work that has inspired you is placed alongside your own.
Create visual brainstorm that shows clearly what your thought processes are how you have been influenced and where you are going. (See Sophie's and Marys weebly for idea).
Add Bruce Davidson section underneath your subway images.

Monday 20th Jan:
New idea but first you must photograph the piece you made in the exam as you need to reuse the box in a slightly different way.
Next:
Photograph a tree that has no leaves and little or no trees around them. Try Trent Park or Hampstead Heath.
Acetate building images on each side. They can be different on each side as long as they are close up and have no negative space.
Tree image wraps around the box.

Stack perspex boxes. Different urban images in each one. However, one image (a tree or similar) could spread across all boxes.
Miles reed from gholden1979
In preparation for your exam- experiment with layering buildings and foliage. Cut parts of the images away (digitally) so that they become more abstract and you are able to have more layers without the overall appearance becoming too dense.
Prep- boxes, perspex cut to the right size to fit in your box,lights....?
Experiment with layering different materials, different lights etc....
Different sized boxes- stacked- suggesting the city.

Steiglitz, Steichen,
Room 2: Modernism
Alvin Langdon Coburn (as a young man he is part of the Photosecessionists. He goes on to photograph the city in abstract ways ('The octopus' 1912) then creates vorticist pieces that present the city in fragments. )

Rodchenko / Man Ray
Room 3: Contemporary
The photographers you have already looked at.
Timeline for each photographer & two images analysed.
Practical
Try to create pairs of images from your decayed photos. Ie. The image of the chair and graffiti- pair with an office chair in situe in a tidy office.

To get the best possible grade complete the following tasks:
- Make sure you write I not i.
- Explain how you created the manipulated portraits in response to Magnin. Illustrate if possible.
- Discuss the manipulated portraits development- eg. why return to this theme, what do you hope to achieve?
- Double check your Somas analysis- ucas Simões is an
- Source your Simoes quotes.
- I saw another relevant photographer- you could add him before Simoes and fake another set of observations. It's something you could do very easily in the studio.
- Add the contacts for your final piece. Also upload images of your final outcome and annotate re-iterating the connections to your key photographers. Did you photograph the work as it progressed?
I like your first attempt at collage however, I think it would work better if the contrast of the images was more consistent. I don't mind the different colours as long as they're bright. Try other ways of cutting and collaging your images. Experiment with photographing other people and layering those images and / or mixing people together.
25 March:
Miles - look at this photographer: Rik Garrett

I saw this and thought of you: http://timmsuess.com/category/decay/ you could also look at the work by Matthew Merret- particularly his work where he experiments with depth of field. http://www.thephotomat.ca/#imagegalleries/decay/vehicular%20decay/1
You're slowing down in the final stages of the project. You need another set of observations. Use the two photographers above to inspire you!

Technically proficient in the editing.
Nadav Kander analysis and response
You discuss the wider context to the photographer and body of work well however, just as you seem about to go into depth about a specific image your analysis stops. You need to discuss the photographer’s intentions and use subject specific language regarding the formal elements and technique.
Some lovely shots of the swimming pool however, I would have liked more wider shots that in direct response to Kander.
Formal Elements class tasks and homework (30 minute walk)
It would have been ideal if you had identified the images which corresponded to the different formal elements. The images you took on the walk offer a really exciting strand of development. Just be careful with the depth of field. Be aware of your main point of focus. You usually get this right but some images have too much out of focus.
Three strands for My London
Three good starting points for the project. Obviously the Slinkachu and macro photography complement each other and offer many other opportunities. You have included Ron Mueck images in your Slikachu strand- is that on purpose?
David Hockney response
Good analysis, concise and to the point. I like the image of the classroom. You did well to piece it altogether.
Rule of thirds
My London development
More sets within your chosen strand asap.
Miles i have added another comment on here.
Also think about a response to the exhibition you went to. Ms Cary
