re-creating the collages

two days later we were told to bring the collages together with our existing work, and i decided to try and re-create my images but using my techniques. using photogrpahy, little toys, and illustration alongside this. so i began thinking how i could do this... and i got stuck.

I spoke to mick and he brough casey along too, and we gathered some ideas, and realised that everything is possible. They brought out amy lords work (student from 2 years ago) and her work made me realise how important lighting was, and that i need to take time to set up the photo rather than rushing it.

i think the problem i have is that if i dont have an outcome every week then i feel like iv not done anything. but i need to spend more time up to the point of pressing the button on the camera to take the photo, and the outcome will be so much stronger and more professional looking and alot more worth while for 1 or 2 strong images, rather than 10 which seem unfinished.

i think it this talk with mick and casey and the week of collage and idea generating has lead to other ideas in my own work...
i didnt get as much work done as id wanted to this week, but i think it mainly helped with developping my way of thinking which i think is more important at the stage i am at in my work.
