Degree Work

This section of the website is my learning log which I'm writing alongside my degree studies.  It captures not only examples of the project work and assignments as part of the course but also, and perhaps more importantly my thoughts and progression of ideas as I hope to become a proficient and inspiring photographer.

My objectives:
The most obvious aim of this course is to improve my photography.  That’s a given.  I’ve been interested in photography for nearly 20 years and have dabbled with various courses but feel that my photos whilst getting better, aren’t really at a WOW level…..just a quick flick through some the portfolios online at the OCA has made me realize how far I want to get….some truly impressive images there.  Its also important though that I gain a rounded, formal education – I really wanted to get into some detail that would give me confidence and satisfy my interest in a subject close to my heart.  In the end, it would be wonderful to have some sort of career (even part time) from photography but the main goal would be to satisfy myself that I’m a better photographer at the end of the day.

As my studies cover many months, I hope to be able to demonstrate a clear improvement in style, technique and impact of my photographs....
