Personal Project.
It’s time to pull your project together and put finishing touches to it in order to create a cohesive body of work to be proud of. A night to collaborate with others and seek comment and advice.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENING WILL BE HELD AT PETER LAW’S HOUSE
THE ADDRESS IS 30 BANIM ST ASPLEY
Project Night.
The final Project night for the year. Make some final touches to your project.
This evening will be held at Peter Law’s house.
The address is 30 Banim Street, Aspley.
Presented By: Club members
This will be the first get-together for those interested in developing a personal photographic project over the year. You will have the opportunity to chat about what you have in mind and how you might go about achieving your goal. You will have support from like-minded members to assist you in achieving the best result possible.
There is no competition involved in this, it’s all about your own personal achievement. Your project can be about anything that excites you and it can be presented in any format you wish, there are no restrictions. If you are wondering how to even begin a project or get an idea about what you might do, there will be video advice available by high level photographers from all over the world who are working on projects of their own.
So come along if you are committed to this endeavour, numbers have to be limited because my house is not huge but I will do my best to accommodate you.
Peter, Programs
We are mid-way through the year so projects should be well advanced by now. January will come around quick enough and that will be the opportunity for you to present your project to all the club members.
Even if you aren’t presently working on a project you are still most welcome to attend and its never too late to begin your own personal project or get some inspiration for next year.
This meeting and all subsequent meetings of the Personal Project Group will be held in the new Bracken Ridge Library meeting rooms. Getting a bit squeezy at Peter Law’s house.
For those who are attending the Personal Project Group this coming Monday night, 24th Feb @ 7.30pm at the Bracken Ridge Library. Please don’t bring any biscuits or cakes or anything for supper as everything is already provided in the little kitchen by the Library (tea, coffee, cups etc, there is a dishwasher which will need to be loaded and turned on before we leave). I will bring some milk and if you all behave, maybe some Tim Tams. Please make sure you arrive before 7.30 as access to the Library on Monday nights is by keycard only. I will be waiting to let you in up to 7.30, however, if by chance you are late you will need to call or text me on my mobile 0400 065 714 so that someone can come and open the doors to let you in. It will be no good knocking or shouting as we won’t be able to hear you in the meeting room. We will need to vacate the premises some time before 10pm as alarms are armed strictly at 10. Looking forward to seeing you there for the start of another productive project year.
Feel free to RSVP if you are intending to come along. It would be nice to get an idea of numbers.
Thanks
Pete
What are the key elements that must be present for you when you are creating a body of work? (Social commentary, strong form, personal connection.)
Is the idea of a body of work important to you? How does it function in relation to making a great individual photograph?
Do you have what you might call a “photographic style”?
