A2 Enhanced Image Assignment

In the first half term our A2 Photography students worked on a theme from their Summer Assignment to create enhanced images. The brief was simple: to combine more than one medium, reference other photographers/artists and their outcomes must be produced by developing work from the Darkroom opposed to digital experiments.

Each student created a set of images that were developed for example with ink, paint and acetate. Some of their images were photomontages, vignettes or just simply re-edited in Photoshop. Check out our Flickr Page for more examples of the great work that our photography students have been producing!

Street Photography Now Project

Hope all of our photography students are making the most of taking photos in the snow!!

Just saw this project for street photography..

It is organised over a year with one subject each week: every Friday, a leading contemporary street photographer will issue a new instruction, written to inspire fresh way of looking at and documenting the world we live in. You can submit up to one photo per instruction to a special Flickr Group. After six days the next instruction will be issued.

It is a great idea for those looking for inspiration and drive, or those looking just for a reason to get out and shoot!

The project will run for 52 weeks, and you can join in at any time. The aim is to build a global community of photographers exploring the rewards and challenges of documenting public life.

It's not strictly a competition, but there is an award for £1000 worth of books, and it is run in conjunction with the Photographers' Gallery during its closure for remodelling and the Street Photography Now book.

If you want to join in, then see here for how to take part.

It certainly looks interesting and if you subscribe to it, please let us know so we can see how you are doing and to follow your progress :)
