[DES206] PHOTOMEDIA CURATION | TASK 1 | GENRE & STYLE
There’s always an assignment within the 4 each round that doesn’t put a whole lot of pressure on you. You know it’ll get done as long as you chip away at it a little bit every few days, sometimes not even until the week it’s due.
However, the lack of pressure from this assessment task didn’t mean that it was a trivial or uninspiring exercise.
See, I learn a lot about a lot in my design bachelor, but photography and photographic concept, philosophy, and all of the other conceptual/psychological considerations that go into creating images, have been the most serendipitously profound part of my education so far.
The photo itself is such a small part of the whole process; it’s existence is like a symbol, or thumbnail, of the entire conceptual process - a distillation of all of its metaphysical bodies that converge into this experiencable stimuli - it’s awesome.
Here I used some of my previous photos from a session walking around Brisbane [Qld, Australia] in July and experimented with emulating Keith A.W. Williams’ methodology for diagnostic botanical photography that he employed in the production of his book series, Native Plants of Queensland.
All in all a fabulous exercise in exploring genre and the diversity of styles within.
