 Nearly There

BA 

Final lap 


After a long year of covid-19 and lock downs , finally in the process of putting all the final work together. Currently working on the final process of the FMP. The FMP  being my research work for the year. My work based on the Victorian Pictorialist photographers that visited Llandudno and the history of Pictorialist photographers . As Llandudno knows as a holiday resort, it gave me the opportunity to look into the history of post cards and in particular Llandudno post cards. My work has taken me on a journey of a lot of areas to study and learn new facts about my home town .  

For my final project has been the creating of a photo book a 155 pages with 137 images . The book spread over multiple styles, from single left and right single images to smaller images and full page layout. The book can be viewed on pdf on the Bookblurb website.

As a final project we had plans for a formal in person exhibition but due to restrictions this not possible. To overcome the problem we have created a website ( at current stage awaiting completion as a group) . As a taster here are my final images for the site. 




 
My aim of these images to create a contrast of the architecture, landscape and tourist aspect of the town .

With a good response this is my selection of questions . All replies to be made per comment section , this way I will be able to copy and paste my results and analysis for the module as a word document. Thanks you in advance those of you willing to participate.  My theme is the work of Victorian photographers in Llandudno. My work based on the work of Thomas Edge, La Roche photo studio, Francis Frith and Francis Bedford and Alvin Langdon Coburn ( American photographer who lived in Rhos On Sea for his final 18 years) The images taken during the 19th C era was pictorialism and my final images and theme recreating the same imag...
