FdA Commercial Photography
Today was the last ever day of my FdA Commercial Photography course at the Arts University College at Bournemouth. Over the last two years I have really honed in on where I want to go in the world of photography and what interests me as a photographer. Here are some photographs from different bodies of work. There is also my essay looking at Photojournalism in the Digital Age.

Waltz with Bashir
Just watched the film Waltz with Bashir, Directed by Ari Folman. The Israeli film director cannot remember the horrors of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. He interviews fellow veterans to reconstruct his own memories of his term of service in that conflict. The documentary film is animated really well with a Citizen Kane-style recounting of what happened during 1982 Lebanese war, in which the Israel Defence Forces invaded Lebanon after an assassination attempt against the Israel's ambassador to the United Kingdom. I will not say much more as this film looks at why Ari has no real memory of what happened in Lebanon. It is well worth a watch not only for the historical contents but also for the quality of the animation and illustration.

Website Update
Yesterday I updated my website, dropping a project, adding one or two new photographs and added some text to support my work. In about three or four weeks from now there will be another series of work added that I am currently shooting, so keep your eyes out for that.

Figures & Fictions - V&A
Nontsikelelo Veleko
Pieter Hugo
Zanele Huholi
Jodi Bieber
Today is the opening day for V&As new exhibition Figures & Fictions which looks at the contemporary photography coming out of South Africa. With a total of seventeen photographers, some with two or three projects of work on display, with the likes of Pieter Hugo, David Goldblatt and Nontsikelelo Veleko among them, this exhibition was in for the win. The exhibition looks at the identity of South African photography as one of the key movements in the fine art world, as well as looking at a post-Apartheid South Africa richness in culture and history. The exhibition revisits history with Jo Ractliffes series Terreno Ocupado to the reconstruction of Muslim life in Hasan and Husain Essops series Halaal Art to gay life in rural areas in Sabelo Mlangenis series Country Girls. The work collected by V&A clearly shows a diverse 21st century country that had a troubled past. Along with this exhibition V&A has set up Lifetimes: Under Apartheid in the photography gallery, which has the works of David Goldblatts during the Apartheid years, which is a bonus and also a very good exhibition to feast your eyes on.
The exhibition is running from the 12 April to the 17 July 2011, so there is no excuse for missing the fantastic work on display.
