CCAD Student:
Jessica Holloway
During our most recent professional studies lesson we were shown examples of work by third year student who have now graduated. We were shown the students work simply to show us what a photo archive was and how we could create one ourselves, however one of the students we were shown had produced work which i spotted in her archive which i found very inspiring.
Jessica Holloway had capturing images around a north east town on a film camera using coloured film. This is exactly what i was hoping to do for this project. I was able to find Jessica's work on her Facebook page and i have chosen the images i liked most and give the best impression of what i hope to set out and create myself.

I think these night time shots look amazing on the coloured film, however i can imagine capturing the image perfecting in terms of not over or under exposing it is easier said than done. This style however is definitely something i feel inspired to try myself.
When i first got our assignment brief my immediate thought was street photography, by that I mean photography of people on the streets not just the streets themselves. Although i think the streets and buildings in the North East look interesting and tell a story of their own, I just felt that actually stopping people in the street and capturing images like what Jessica has done here would mean you may have a bit of a chat with the individual and end up finding out something 'extraordinary' about them. My only concern or set back for this idea however is whether ill have the confidence to stop people in the street.
