Mary’s memory, Final Major Project

I have just finished my final major project, the project was called ‘Mary’s memory’ and is focused on my Grandmother and her decline due to dementia. I asked her to write a ‘description’ about herself which I have included with the images, this was emotional for me to read. I find that when I outgo a project, I like to make the project sentimental to me, I really consume in the project. Hope you enjoy, Dom x

Second year foundation photography students work..

The 2nd Year class completed a three day job of covering the Harold Jolliffe One-Act Play Festival on Saturday 14th April. The festival has been running since 1947 and gives local amateur production groups the chance to perform their play to an adjudicator, with a range of prizes to be won for the best.

With photographing the productions, the awards ceremony, and offering the actors and producers portraits, the whole event was a steep learning curve for all involved. Photographing from a small lighting booth, from the back of the studio, with challenging lighting conditions, needed a lot of thinking on our feet. Plus directing the actors for portraits after coming off stage into position needed quick judgement.

A great set of images were produced and the organiser, Ashley Heath is looking forward to the arrangement being a long-term partnership for the college.
