Professional Studies Module Introduction

Module Introduction

Over the course of this module I will be looking into an aspect of the photographic industry that interests me and I would like to continue looking into possibly for the future prospects after I leave Uni. I will also be looking into the competitions that are running over the year and what benefits I can get from entering them and getting the exposure though them.

I think it is a good stage for me to be entering the competitions because it will help improve my confidence and give me networking opportunities through the exposure I will be getting if I can get high up in the competition.

Also at this stage I will be creating a skills based CV based on my photographic skills, this is also good for me because I was not taught anything about these in school or college and the internet is not a very good source at all.

The brief we have been given also states that we need to create a digital archive of our work, for this I think I am going to create a new page for my blog and showcase my works off in separate posts as then I can keep my blogs updated and together in one place. I may also look into creating a website that I can keep updated (I had started one in college yet I never finished uploading and editing) plus I also keep a Facebook page running with more of my works on their (CBurns Photography).

In this introduction lesson we also watched What Do Artists Do All Day? featuring Cornelia Parker a installation sculpture artist.

She has a very positive working attitude and she plans ahead for the future so her time is planned and not being wasted.
