Week 3 - Task

Create a 200 – 300 word statement contextualising an example of your own practice. Most of you have work in the current FD Photography 2nd year exhibition. If you do, then use the work in the exhibition, and if you do not, then choose an example of your work and print it in a suitable format so that it can be seen by a group of people.

The Pop Up Portrait Studio

Over the course of a weekend in late November last year James Hawley opened his doors to the general public for the oppurtunity to be photographed, free of charge, with absolutely no strings attached; a rarity within the photographic world. Over the two days almost 30 poeple graced his studio and left with a smile on their face and their image, retouched and post processed to the highest standard on the way out to their e-mail inbox for them to do with as they pleased.

The studio was a platform for a continued search for beauty and the photographer's own artistic expression mused by any man or woman, boy or girl, who allowed themselves to grace the studio.
