Final Selection... Intimate Life

This is how I presented my Intimate Life series today for my photography pin up for marking, response and feedback. I got lots of positive feedback for this series from students in my class and my lecturer, although she didn't let on too much so I will just have to wait for my grade when it's finally handed in. 

I'm personally extremely happy with how these turned out. The images have all been taken, developed and processed by myself. To find out more about the series read here. But to put it simply, it is documenting my grandparents day, mundane I know but that's what intimate life is all about, photographing concepts you would normally ignore. You can click on the image to view it larger, or look at previous posts to see my development.

Intimate Life... One More Time...

If you  read my previous posts Intimate Life and Intimate Life Continued you can read what this piece is about. I only needed a minimum of 5 images for this series but I got a bit carried away in the darkroom, and ended up doing 20... Here are the most recent prints.

Intimate Life Continued

So a previous post showed a current project I am working on to portray my grandparents everyday life. Read here to find out more about the project and see my first set off images. I spent a few hours today in the dark room developing a few more images for this sequence. Here are two scanning of two of my final prints:

Intimate Life...

For a photography project we had to look at photography as a form of contemporary art. This was based around Charlotte Cotton's book, 'The Photograph as Contemporary Art'. From reading this book into the different styles of art photography, I chose intimate life and based this around my Grandparents. My Granddad has genetic disorder, Macular Degeneration which has a horrible effect on his sight. This has caused him to almost completely lose his vision. For this project I wanted to display their relationship, my Granddads dependance on my Grandmother and his optimistic strive for independence. There are a lot more images to be updated with as I managed to get through 4 36 exposure films in 6/7 hours with them. These are the first few that have all been processed in the darkroom and then scanned to the computer.
