Statement Writing & Elevator Pitch Session

Below are some notes that I prepared before a session that focussed on statement writing and elevator pitches with Moira Lovell, I decided to prepare these notes to make it easier to remember vital information during the session and also to prompt me. I have found it very useful being more organised before coming to a lecture and it had benefitted my work greatly during my final year and also my second year.

Statement Writing & Elevator Pitch Session

Through focusing upon a particular aspect within the industrial world, I have been able to explore different photographic styles.

·     My recent body of work surrounded the praise of engineers for their use of past industrial techniques that have been passed down through generations.

·     This next body of work is a digression from the deadpan portraits that I have previously taken.

·     This body of work is in contrast to those portraits; I want to capture the humorous atmosphere within the forge in conjunction with photographing the food that fuels the engineers.

·     The work is based around still life, food and detail photography.

·     The humor of atmosphere within the forge is something that I have wanted to photograph for many years; this is a big part of daily life in the building.

·     Part staged, real life photographs.

·     A change of my perspective gives for a different more involved feel to the work.
