Choice of presentation

Reasons for choice of method

After reflecting back on the research I have carried out on presentation methods both professionally and on the high street, I feel that my best choice of presentation methods will be using my blogger website created over the term of this assignment and also by getting a couple of my photographs printed. This is not only cheap and cost effective but also puts the image on another scale. If I also then get my images framed it will make the images stand out even more.

I did consider putting all of my final images for both themes into an album but this would be more costly and would also take up more time to put together.

With the blogger page it is easy to access and to view the images and also with having a couple of prints it shows off the quality of my work and will enable my work to be viewed on a closer scale.

Preparation for Photography Exhibition

An opportunity arose where one of the students in our class arranged a photography exhibition at the South Derbyshire District Council for a week from the 6th February. 

This is a good chance for me to able to show some of my own photography in the exhibition which will form part of my presentation unit and will also give me the opportunity to get feedback from the general public regarding my work.

It has been arranged that we can also sell our photography to people that are interested in purchasing them throughout the week.

From this I decided which two images, out off all of my photographs throughout the course, I would use as part of the exhibition. For these two images we had to arrange for frames and the printing in advance of the exhibition so that we were ready and prepared. Also, this allowed any last minute changes to be made where the images were concerned should we decide that they were not as expected.

Frames

Ian, the same student to organise the exhibition also arranged to order the frames for us. The frames were from Wilkinson and cost only £8 each.

Prints

The prints were ordered through a company called 'Pro Am' which are based in Bradford. The prints cost around £2 each and arrived a couple of days after on Fuji archive luster paper which gave a nice sheen to the photographs.

Images showing image preparation

Below are some images taken of the class preparing their frames ready for the exhibition.

I found that from looking at just the prints of the images to looking at them complete and in the frames the effects altered quite dramatically. The frames and border really help to make the images stand out.
