Exhibition Reflection

Exhibition Reflection

Kort Woycheshin

This was my first ever exhibition here at my time at the University. It was an incredible experience and opened my eyes to a lot of the intricate parts of setting up an exhibition. Generally I had never considered the layout of the exhibition other than gallery standard height and spacing. The formation we used for this lent itself to the wackiness of pinhole photography and the trial and error methodologies that imply themselves onto pinhole photography. We tried many different formations and near the end of it we started getting to the point where we would look at a print and decide where it fits based on natural intuition; I love this style of art when you make objective choices based on a gut feeling and doing things just because they look 'nice.' Overall the feedback I heard from the whole gallery was very positive and it was tons of fun to here peoples comments. I had lots of people texting me and snap chatting me pictures of my portrait and it was a very heartwarming feeling. The act of people physically in the presence of your work is so much more rewarding then just posting it to instagram. The gratification I felt when I walked down the stairs and saw people looking in the flesh far outweighed any amount of 'likes' I could receive. Since this gallery I have gained a far greater appreciation for print media and having physical versions of your work for people to see.

Final Project

Final Project Reflection  My final project was aimed to analyze the similarities and differences between my Father and I's mental health. I wanted to represent this project in an obtainable way to an gallery audience that would enable the content to relatable and fairly easy to interpret but also to be personal enough for me that it has deeper meaning. The style of photos I chose and created relied on heavy contrast which was achieved by using the red filters to get the perfect amount of black but maintain the highlights. In class we spoke about how happy accidents are real part of this project specifically looking at  how the photos of me have a lot more white and the photos of my dad are have a lot more black. I find this unique and could portray a deeper meaning not obtainable by the audience member but open to interpretation.  For this project I did a lot of testing in the dark room and fell in love with the enlargement process. This is the first time I have actually ...

A - Z assignment

For this assignment I wanted to limit myself to taking photos of things that had to do with cars only. That being license plates parking signs, and car models.  I cropped everything in vertical fashion and stiches them together into this even square structure that I find compelling. It is meant to invite the user in nice and close to figure out what is even going on. I love it.

Pinhole Photography Project

  Pinhole Photography Assignment Reflection Overall I enjoyed the assignment and felt that I learned a handful about the photographic process and gained a new appreciation for photography. My mind was blown by how simple yet complex a pinhole can be and that essentially anything can be a pinhole camera. The photos you get when using a pinhole camera have such a unique look, and I think that's what I like most about pinhole. The grunginess of the photos really leans itself to my style of photography; people often will use photoshop to get this look, but though trial and error, pinhole just does it for you. In conclusion, I would happily do pinhole again and think I could vastly improve upon my previous designs and photos with the knowledge I gained during this assignment.  "Where my eyes cannot go"  For this photo, I was inspired to try and replicate what it might look like if you could see through the world and everyone walked on glass. I had my subject on a ledge with on...
