With the cooler weather and approaching Winter months, there is not a great deal of action around the strawberry fields, and the meat production facilities are even quieter than usual. I developed 2 rolls of 120 film, which I shot on the SWC. This is equivalent to about 21mm on a 35mm camera and creates … Continue reading Week 10 & 11 – Project work
PHO701: Project Development
Week 9 – Project progress
This week I have been bringing together my project proposal into a working document. Together with the coursework focusing on how to prepare a research proposal, it has been a productive period.

The … Continue reading Week 5: Project & shoots

I spent some time around the strawberry fields, which were quite busy. The mega greenhouses still … Continue reading Week 3 -Shooting and further developing research project ideas
Week 2 – Strawberry fields
The weather was horrible with rain and low stratus clouds, perfect for what I was hoping to capture as the autumn season gets underway and the workforce thins out. I wanted to get some wide shots across the larger areas that are in use for growing and to get the somber mood that the low … Continue reading Week 2 – Strawberry fields
