Scan one of two of my black and white negatives // March 2020 // 4x5 workshop with Jesse.
Looking back and reflecting on the last week of the Face to Face, I'm left feeling inspired and motived. The first day I spent in the 4x5 workshop that Jesse was leading. We spent the morning getting familiar with the camera and then in the afternoon we broke off into pairs and Hannah I decided to venture out of the studio we were working in. We found a beautiful spot to play around with the camera. We each had two sheets of black and white and colour film, however, I overexposed my colour negatives, but my black and white images came out reasonably well. I would have loved to have some more time to figure out the little details of the camera and get a few decent colour images from it, but I have a feeling I will be using a large-format camera again before my project is over.

Unfortunately, the colour negative did not turn out as well. Even though we used light meters, the exposure was incorrect and resulted in the image above.

Day two was the Pop-Up Exhibition– A Better Version of Ourselves, with Cemre Yesi.
Before we got to Falmouth, we had a little prep work to do for this Pop-up. We were asked to reflect on our recent past and to explore the practice of travelling in relation to our own inner journey. We each produced images that would be used in collaboration with others in the exhibit. Overall it was a bit of a chaotic and a little challenging, there was a lot of compromises and some other limitations, but I truly enjoyed it! Working with everyone to achieve what we did was rewarding.
