Photograd // Highly Commended Artist 2018.

Since graduating University, I have been submitting my work in various places. One of the places I submitted work to was the photograd PGZ2018 zine. As well as selecting work for the printed zine, they also selected some standout work to be featured on the photograd blog. I submitted work from 'Joan' which was my final major project. Getting the email back, I'm happy to say I was on the list of the Highly Commended 2018 photography graduates alongside some other great work!

Graduate Exhibition // 2018.

On friday, our graduate exhibition opened. Previous to this was a week that we were putting the work up. I was in at the beginning of the week when the space was empty, and I also came in a few days during the end of the week. From doing this, I found it interesting to see the change in the space from day to day as more work was being put up. With each piece of work that were being displayed, it seemed to really transform the space. Overall, the process of seeing the exhibition and displaying my own work, I found to be interesting.

That then lead us to the opening night which was also a great night. After spending the week in the space seeing the work being displayed, it was nice to be able to have it completed and celebrate the past year.

Entry for the BJP Portrait of Britain Award 2018.

I spotted on social media that it was coming up to the Deadline of the Portrait of Britain Award that the BJP holds every year. With University coming to an end, I want to keep looking and entering my work in as many competitions that are suitable as I can. Competitions are a great way to get your work out there, and even if you don't win, specific people within the industry are still seeing your work and name in these various competitions and opportunities can come at anytime.

I entered the Portrait of my Grandmother below that I took as part of my Final Major Project in Dec 2017 as it immediately came to mind when I saw the competition.
