My Narrative - How will it work? 

In my narrative I aim to take my viewers on a journey. From start to finish. I want them to be able to view the landscape in small chunks and at different angles. 

Formative Feedback

For my Issuu Book, I only had one formative feedback session as I have been behind. I only had a vague layout on Microsoft Word. I explained that I struggled with InDesign and Photoshop, which is why I had chose Word. John did explain that Word is limited in creative standards and that it wouldn't be his first choice as he doesn't get along with Work that well, however I decided to go with what I was comfortable I could produce as I struggle so much with InDesign and Photoshop

John gave me some good feedback in regards to my from cover, positioning of image and text size and font. We decided a slightly smaller image and text would be more beneficial.  As for my layout, what I had so far worked well, however I explained I still have text to add. 

John suggested I try and get it done as soon as possible to see if I could produce anything else so I have more than one layout to choose from. 

Thoughts on my work being in a public domain...

I think as a photographer in the 21st Century, media access and advertisement is the best way forward. Everything is now online, with easier access and more time to do it.  Having the public viewing my work, helps to motivate me to continually upskill my work and keep aiming to achieve higher standards and to compete with my competitors. 

Currently I do have a website with Weebly, however I do not get on with the domain very well and I would like to transfer and update my work on another Webador site. Webador is much more accessible, cheaper to run and faster. I also post on my photography Instagram account. I would like to be able to update my work and upskill. I think an eBook is a great way to publish my photography, which could also lead to future employability. 

Living in a pre-COVID world and hopefully when and if we live in a post-COVID world, I think our exhibitions would have been open to the public and we would have been creating our own books physically. If I could display them side by side, with a supporting statement, my name, and my business cards, then I think this would be much more intriguing to future employers such as photographers, publishers, galleries, and other artists.  

Access to my business cards, could mean networking as well as future employability. It also helps if you are no longer stood by your work, if someone wanted to speak with you.

If I had a book viewing I would...

If I had the chance to get published and had my own book viewing at say a book store, I think I would exhibit a image or say a trip-tych alongside to showcase my photography on a bigger scale and to draw people in. I think this would help with sales and promotion. I would also leave business cards alongside my work, they could be picked up by potential clients and or employers. 

How would I promote myself to a photographer vs the public?

If I was presenting to fellow photographers, artists, colleagues and or future employers or publishers them I would make sure I present myself in my most professional way and keep thigs to the point. I would make sure my contact details were very accessible, opposed to just the public. I would still keep a good level of professionalism, however I would feel that I could relax more and speak more freely.
