This week we have been asked to reflect on the importance of the personal project and the mix art and commerce. Personally, this has been something I have struggled with so I have enjoyed delving into this and looking into ways others have found a balance. I particularly enjoyed the talk with Felicity McCabe, where she breaks down her process, inspirations, and the journey that has led her to where she is now.
When it comes to my own work and methodologies I feel that I have kept the true art of my photography very separate from paid work, which I struggle with and feel is limiting my full potential as a photographer. However, over the last year and especially since starting my MA, I have been more intentional at merging the two and truly defining my style, which I feel is letting me discover and develop a new side of my work leading more toward a fine art documentary style.
