Reflections on Informing Contexts and the F2F Event – ‘The Living Image’ (Week 6)

I attended the Face-to-Face Event in Falmouth last week and the workshops, presentations and access to tutors allowed me to focus on my Work in Progress Portfolio (WIPP), start to bring my ideas together for the Critical Review of Practice (CRP) and consider how this will inform my Final Major Project (FMP).

As far as timings are concerned, I will not be returning to the Isle of Skye, where my work is based, until early April. So, after feedback, I now find myself in the situation where I can work on a few images already taken, but my practical work will largely be done after I have drafted my CRP. This is not ideal, as I had hoped to have a draft set of images for the WIPP before I did this. However, I will have some time to experiment with my practice and determine the final subject and image choices.

This week we have further tutorials to discuss these things. So, in order to give some structure to our discussions, I have produced a mind map of my thoughts to date, and how I might contextualise my practice in academic research and photographic practitioner influencers.
