Exhibition Review
Describe the roles involved in setting up an exhibition.
We split into 4 different teams; installation, promotion, distal and mediate. All 4 teams played a role on the success of the exhibition. The promotion team had the job of prompting the exhibition through the use pf things such a posters and social media. The Mediators had the job of simply looking after the exhibition and making sure the work was safe and correct. The installation group put up the exhibition, and the dental team done the opposite.
Describe your own involvement - what did you do to make it a success?
I was part of the promotion team, which meant that we are the team who deals with all things promotion. We made the poster and also promoted it on our own social medias.
Describe the effectiveness of the venue.
The Theatre Royal was great venue, which was very spacious and had a lot of natural light.
How did you go about selecting the work you are showing?
We picked our favourite images and seeked advice from our lecturers on which would be the most favourable images to use. It was then up to the installation team to choose which images worked well together based on tone, subject, colour etc.
Comment on the effectiveness of the framing and layout.
All images were printed on A3 paper, with a black rimmed a3 frame. It complimented the images well, however as the images had glass over them I found it made darker images harder to make out - this was a problem I had my my work.
What does the exhibition say about the work produced at COGC?
It shows the talent on show at COGC, as well as the variety of photographers.
Which work attracts you and why?
I really liked more ambiguous work, stuff that really requires you to figure it out.
How will others know about the exhibition?
the promotion team advertised the build up to the opening night through using social media.

Good vs bad examples of HDR
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a post-processing photographic technique that adds more contrast in your images. The dynamic range is the ratio of light to dark in an image. To create a HDR image, shoot three images set at different exposures (e.g. overexposed, underexposed, perfectly exposed), then import the images onto your chosen software and combine the images together to create HDR.Â
My own example of HDR. There is very little detail in the shadows of the grass. The final photo shows 9 bracket HDR at one stop per bracket, which was merged in lightroom.

Paper Movies
1. It was described as the âgolden ageâ - marked the moment when colour photography was considered a serious thing. Photographers also became to look for things others are unable to see i.e. exploring the desert.
2. Joel Sternfeld shot using large format 8x10 film camera on a tripod. Using this camera meant he could achieve a much better quality. Furthermore I feel as though using large format would add to the quality of the image, as well as the authenticity of it.
3. âThe Americansâ by Robert Frank had such an impact on modern photography as he brought an outsiderâs perspective to the states he visited. He focused a lot on Americans evolving culture.
4. William Kleinâs attitude to photography is described as âanarchicâ, which is something I totally agree with, his work was ironic and unconventional, which ultimately captured unusual and unique moments.Â
5. Joel Meyerowitz didn't agree with Henri Cartier-Bressonâs âdecisive momentâ concept because Paris and New York are two completely different places. Bresson capture New York in an almost polite way, where as meyerowitz caught its real life energyÂ
6. Tony Ray Jonesâs key points for a successful street photographer:
Be more aggressive
Get more involved
Be patientÂ
Take simpler pictures
Be more aware of composition
Get in closer
Shoot 1/250s or above to avoid camera shake
Don't take boring pictures
7. British street photographers have gravitated towards to the beach as an ideal location for their subject matter because so much happen on a beach in one day. The beach is like a stage, which ultimately makes for a great photograph.
8. âsurface rather than soulâ means only to look at the exterior of a subject, rather than getting to the deeper meaning of it.Â
9. Black and white photographs were seen as being ânaturalâ, so when these projects were shot in colour, it was shocking to some people as it was something that you just did not do back then. Colour was unsophisticated and seen as a joke.
Each project reveals everyday scenes in America during the 1960s/70s.
The colours in each project from Shore and Sternfeld are incredibly beautiful, and you can clearly see the extraordinary expressions during this period.
10. William Eggleston was able to shoot colour in a very different way from others, hence why he was regarded as âKingâ by many photographers. He essentially increased recognition for colour photography as a serious artistic medium.

In contextual class we watched a documentary on Carl Andreâs brick, which was bought by Tate in 1972. The bricks created a national controversy over what is considered âartâ
âEach of Andreâs Equivalent series consists of a rectangular arrangement of 120 firebricks. Although the shape of each sculpture is different, they all have the same height, mass and volume, and are therefore âequivalentâ to each other. Andreâs sculptures are often assembled using common industrial materials, which he arranges into a simple geometric pattern. His sculptures are always placed on the floor rather than on plinths. Not simply objects to look at, they become part of the environment, altering the viewerâs relationship to the surrounding space.â -Â Gallery label, October 2016.
I personally don't like the bricks, I can appreciate them but they don't really excite me.Â

Arpita Shah Exhibition reviewÂ
As a class we visited Arpita Shahâs exhibition âNaliniâ. It was one of the best exhibitions I have ever been to, her work explored intimacy and maternal lineage in a ways I have never considered.Â
The images, all shot on medium format, were beautiful and gentle. This was carried by the use of portia film, which created soft and calming tones within the frames.Â
Shah also used and re-shot old photographs of her family. This is something I never thought was possible to include within your own work due to issues such as appropriation. Learning it is possible to re-use old images as long as you re-invent them is something which has been a massive inspiration to me, particularly for my graded unit.
How does the flyer /poster advertise the exhibition?
Flyer shows the location and the name of the exhibition
What is the suitability of the gallery space? How is the exhibition laid out?
Exhibition is laid out by using the whole gallery space. Images are framed and hanged in big and small sizes to compliment each other. She also has things in the middle of the space, making it an installation. Colour themes are also something that have been considered.
How has the work been mounted? Is this appropriate for the work?
Shah has varied her layout and presentation very well. Some of her work has been printed on paper and some are in has glass frames.
Who made the work?
Arpita Shah
Who did they make it for , who is the audience?
Her work is more about her family, her childhood and her culture. She is a visual artist her work would attract art lovers.
How does it make you feel?
I love her work. Itâs proved to be a massive inspiration for me and has given me so many ideas for my own work.
If the work has title does it make you think about the images/s differently?
The work has title Nalini, which is her granâs name and it tells me that she is talking about her family.
How would I describe it to someone later?
looks at maternal lineage, exploring the fields where culture and identity meet.Â
Does the photograph make you want to ask questions, what are these questions?
It must been quite difficult to choose final images from so many years work.
Is the work for sale and who might buy it?
She is exhibiting her work, so if someone wants to buy it she ll sell it.
What information is available about the artist?
Artistâs name, and her history surrounding her work
Who organised the exhibition and who selected the work?
Exhibition was organised by Street Level Glasgow
