Dan O' Day at M16

Another exhibiton at M16 and these works probably suited the warehouse studio even more.
The photographs were particularly low quality/res and showed people sleeping in different parts of the world.
The photographs were really effective and i think it was a unique idea.

HIlary Wardaugh at M16

The M16 space is really cool. Warehouse style gallery which was appropiate for this exhibition.
Some really good colour used, and black and white.

My Place

My Place was another exhibition held at Cafe Yala and again was photograph first year students.

There were shots from all over Canberra being exhibited, and it looked really good.

The space was used really well and not too cluttered.

Portraits

Portraits was an exhibition held at Cafe Yala from my fellow first year students.
It was cool to see our work being displayed where other CIT kids could come have a look.
A lot of the work in it was superb.

Eat

Eat was an exhibition held at Design space at CIT by students.
The photographs were really clear and enticing and would fit quite easily into any cookbook.
There is a particular trend with using a low aperture on food photographs to get a particular depth of field effect in the photographs. I have been told this is a "fad" in food photography and in nearly any cook book from the past few years will have this style in most of the photographs.
I am quite over seeing this "fad" because it really drains out the creativity of the the photograph.
The students managed to have some of these photograph in the exhibition as well as some of their own styles.
I can't wait to start food photography as i think it would be an awesome field to work it.

This exhibition was held at the Watson Arts Centre and had a really small studio space to work with.
The images were incredible. They were mainly Aboriginal Portraits, but the photographs were awesome. They were really large in size and had some amazing texts to go with them which opened your mind to the photographs and the scenes shown.
