Half-way through the five-week class, we were back at the National Theatre and continued looking at some of our photos from the first and second week. Chad McCail was our guest lecturer, who seemed to have a lot of interesting things to say but wasn’t really given a great deal of chance to.
We spent most of the day going through everyone’s photos and making constructive suggestions on each other’s work. The conclusion was that I should focus on my shadow series, which was obviously showing a sense of absence through an intention of searching for someone or something, and I am happy to give it a go.
I am never very good at photographying architecture and still find it difficult to make them meaningful and give them a ’soul’, without any obvious object. I may try taking a series of photos at Bow Quarter and see what happens.
