live work for Nulc.

I was asked to do some live work for Newcastle college, as they wanted some of their artwork around the college and to be freshened up and updated because of their current studios which they have to offer to the students

Within the brief it stated that the college wanted to show the different environments which are in the studios and to also show their students working with different materials and objects which can be used in the studios. While in the meeting with the college they asked me if I would take special attention to a number of their requests, these requests were to make sure that all PPE and health and safety regulations were being followed while doing the shoots in the studios and to also have a good mix of male and female models as they were wanting to show multi diverse and cultural students working within the areas.

After studying the brief I became aware of a number of problems which could occur and these were, having full co-operation with staff and students of all ages and that I may have problems with lighting as I would have a mix of natural light and indoor light which in turn could affect the final exposure of the image.

After two days of shooting and a number of amendments the college was happy with the results of the images. While editing I learnt about CKMY printing process and the importance of depth of field and sharpness within a high resolution image as these would be printed at a zero size.

I feel that by doing jobs like this has given me vital knowledge which I can carry to the professional industry. Overall I am pleased with the result of the prints and feel I handled the exposure and resolution problems correctly to gain an output to this professional standard.
