Minimalism shoot

Here are five photographs that I took for my minimalism project. I will pick three which I will send to Jacob who will then put them on the project leaflet. I researched minamlism a fair bit before I decided what I really wanted to photograph. My idea was inspired by Karl Blossfeldt , a photographer whose work I first researched during high school.

Minimalism research

I started looking at minimalism photography using a pinterest board i made. It's helped me a lot to look at other peoples interpretations of the genre and encouraged me to start shooting!

So far I like the idea of photographing plants, more specifically flowers and petals. 

Money For Life , Shed gallery complete (collaboration)

The shed is done! 

Our team met our deadline for the shed gallery opening and it was a great success. Different people from different courses in the college came to see it and eat the refreshments. We had a visit from the manager from Money for life who asked us some questions about our project and we had our photograph taken by her.

We worked well as a team and really pulled together in the last few weeks of the project. 

What's left to be done?

Group evaluation of the project.

Date of the opening : 03/03/15
