Further Lighting Inspiration

After being inspired by Tracy Emin's work at the Ship to Shore Exhibition i have been looking into using lighting similar to the above for my exhibition below my work. Looking further into signs like this within photography i found Jung Lee, a South Korean artist.

I have also looked further into the work of Tracy Emin.

Exhibition - photographer business card design

For my exhibition i knew i wanted something that people could take away from my exhibition space which included information like my website and also some other images i had previously created, i decided to do this in two ways 

1.

Business card 

I feel this advertises my own photography and website its also something people can take away to remind them of my website.

2. Printed books/ Portfolios 

I have used websites before to print portfolios and it is a easy and effective way to display work and advertise you as a photographer

Exhibition Writing 

I decided after the trip to southampton and the 'ship to shore' exhibition that i wanted vinyl text placed under my work i knew this because i feel it looks more professional than mounted card (which i originally intended to do)

Lighting 

I also really liked the work of Tracey Emin

If possible i feel a name sign (Charlotte rose Photography) with the same neon light below would look good together with my fashion like theme within waste, i could also use the same colours within the lights that the materials i shot were.

This would mean my part of the exhibition would have to be a little darker maybe without much lighting on my images then the neon light would also leak onto my images and could look effective together with small spotlights on top of images.

Framing 

Inspired by the exhibitions of the second years earlier in the year (specifically the work of Kamil) 

This is the kind of framing i want to achieve, it looks professional and also works well when all the series are together,i also like the spotlight lighting over the top of some of the images.

 The framing is available on amazon to buy.

2nd year Exhibitions

Exhibition 1 

Ephemeral

Framing 

All Works were framed and presented well but i found the work of Kamil stood out to me, this was due to the eye catching series of images that all worked well together i also liked how the images were framed and size of prints.

it was also good how the students included a brief description of their own individual project theme close to the images.

Lighting 

The lighting within the exhibition is used effectively for example i like the use of spot lights to draw more attention to the work mounted 

Feel Atmosphere 

The venue gave the exhibition a "official" and "sophisticated" feel that really complemented the work presented.

Venue 

The venue gave the exhibition a "official" and "sophisticated" feel together with beautiful lighting however i did have trouble finding the venue due to it being hidden away. 

Extra 

I also liked the creative and different ways of showing work for example using other forms of media (tv/Computer)

Exhibition 2

Fon-Du  

Framing 

All work was presented in a eye catching and artistic way which was consistent throughout all students work. I especially liked the way Agne Bekeraityte used multiple screens to show her moving images, i felt this worked effectively along side with her chosen project theme.

I also really liked how the work of Lily Santer included quotes below her portraits, this gave a narrative to her images and communicated the story of her project.

Lighting 

The lighting within the exhibition is used effectively and work was evenly lit. 

Feel Atmosphere 

Very welcoming atmosphere and enjoyed this exhibition the most 

Venue 

The venue gave the exhibition a "official" and "sophisticated" feel together with beautiful lighting however i did have trouble finding the venue due to it being hidden away. 

Extra 

Once again i liked the use of mixed media and video within the exhibition, this exhibition did very well with advertising and designing posters.

 I also felt the separate business cards for each student with website information was a very good idea.
