From Wednesday the 8th to Saturday 11th of November I stayed in Paris to visit exhibitions and mainly attend Paris Photo. While there, I had time to travel around the streets of Paris and see the famous sights of the city. Every day was very long as I was up or at least 15 hours of the day, in total I took over 600 photos on my 5 day trip. The most famous places I went to were the Eiffel tower, Arc De Triomphe, and the Louvre, although I did explore the back streets and small restaurants that France had to offer. On the Thursday I had a ticket to visit Paris photo where over 200 photographers displayed and sold their work.
Year One / Unit One
For my first unit at Bath Spa, I was set the project “Object and Space”. I was also set to only use a 35mm camera, which I hadn’t used in years. Learning how to use the darkroom was interesting, it was very similar to the one I used a few years ago. I chose to study a local train station with no barriers and only two platforms. Trains arrived every 5-10 minutes, so I had plenty of subjects to focus on. We were told to only shoot in one place, so after a few shoots, we had to try and think of unique ways of shooting to not repeat our previous work. For our deadline on the 17th of November, I had to have my sketch book of research, thoughts and photographs, notes of the darkroom process, and three final prints.
