Further advancement in the Photobook commission

Yesterday, I had a meeting with Mathilda Applebaum, who is one of artists whose work I photographed at the 'Adventures in Art' preview event commission, as her interest in me creating a photobook (2 copies) using the photos from the aforementioned commission was reignited. Meeting in person made it far easier to communicate requirements etc., for example, she will need to provide the file names of the photos she wants included so that I can identify them.

They're estimated to cost approximately £15 (with pp), with £10 per hour for labour. I also got a £20 deposit (£10 per book).

It feels good to be moving on with this commission as it had sort of halted.

Curation of the 'Games People Play' exhibition at Embrace Arts

I was helping with the curation of the aforementioned exhibition most of yesterday and this morning. Yesterday, the old exhibition was dismantled, and today the new art arrived and was organised into available wall space.

New flash (Metz flash 45 CL-4)

Recently I invested in a Metz flash 45 CL-4. I had hired the same model for the last two preview events, and after the success of that, invested in my own. Currently experimenting with it...

Recollections preview event - photos

Here are some of the photos from the preview event. The ones of the people looking at the art were a bit too similar to the Art of Visual Perception preview event, however, there is less of a chance for variation, and also, it does not mean they are necessarily bad.

A lot of photographs were taken of the band, 'Heavy Load', who performed at this event. Each member of the band has learning difficulties of some sort.

Curation of Recollections exhibition at Embrace Arts

 Today I was assisting in the curation of the Recollections exhibition at Embrace arts. Quite interesting paintings (and four LARGE paintings), though I preferred The Funny Side exhibition (the last exhibition at Embrace Arts) even though quite a few of those were comic strips.
