Sean Dower - Visiting lecture

Sean Dower I found was very inspirational, he works in all aspects of the art industry and he explained to us how he achieved all the things in his life so far, so I gained a wider idea of how much work you need to put in to get to where you want to be. I liked his videos 'hot music' and 'no room in hell'.

Cedar Lewisohn - visiting lecture

Today we had a visiting lecture from Cedar Lewisohn who is an artist and curator based in London, he worked for the Tate for 6 years between 2005 - 2011 as part of a fellowship. Although the work he has produced over these years was interesting he wasn't particularly inspirationally to me, he didn't explain how he got to where he was today he just explained the work he had done, I was more interested to how he got the fellowship and how he worked towards his goals. Later on in the day I had a one on one tutorial with him and I found that he didn't really have much encouragement on my project or advise on where to take it next.

Second Shoot 'BIG' project

THREE RIVERS CARAVAN PARK 

This photograph is of the large family function room in the left side of the bar the interior is the same as it was when first built, even the furniture. 

           These are the bar and lounge doors, I like the reflection of the light on the door.

These are the wood cabins that some of the all year round residents live in. 

Tutorial

After discussing my ideas with Shaun I decided to go out on another shoot but this time shoot my images on film- 35mm black and white film.

First Shoot explained.....

This was my first shoot for my 'BIG  project', I decided to photograph the clubhouse/bar of Three Rivers caravan park to show the age of the place for example the carpets and the chairs have not changed since the opening of the clubhouse in 1982. I like these photographs because of the tones I decided to shoot it like this because it portrays the depressing feel that the bar holds. The residents that live on site are retired and have hardly any family that live close by, they enjoy the small community that the site holds. My next plan is to shoot the caravans themselves.
