A test shot with last year's nigella seedheads. Photograph of a photographic print on a dark grey fabric background. The print shows an ornate white fireplace with a fern pattern on it, with a dark green painted wall behind and a small black vase on the mantelpiece to the left, with dried nigella seedheads in it.

Notes on October

October was busy. I got some test shots on 120 film back from AG Photolab, there was a good balance of different jobs (some in places with good views of London), though sadly I can’t really share them just yet, which makes a photo blog challenging. I saw 2 excellent rainbows, visited the sea twice in a week and ate possibly the greatest 99 of my life.

I saw 2 excellent exhibitions at Cuckoo Farm Studios, one of which I was really pleased to be asked back to take installation photographs of. I visited ‘Growing in my Recovery‘, an exhibition representing the culmination of works produced through a 10-week collaborative art course delivered by Open Road Visions and The Minories. I led a workshop in disposable camera photography as part of the art course so it was fantastic to see the all artworks that the participants had produced.

I also photographed the opening of the new exhibition at Firstsite, ‘Leonora Carrington: Avatars & Alliances‘, which was great, and I’m looking forward to going back to look at the exhibition in more detail soon.

I had a special portrait commission I’ll share very soon and I had a really fun shoot in Suffolk at the beginning of this week too. I’m excited to share those images when the time comes.

November looks promising and I’m excited to be visiting a few community organisations as part of my DYCP project, it’ll be good to get know them and start working on photographing with them.
