After approximately ten assignments, mainly around Calderdale, myself and tutors Matt and Jon edited the 65 proof prints to thirteen. The process was interesting and we felt that the topic would serve well for black and white portraiture and colour for location spaces. They were put into group categories for: image merit, locations and whether they were taken portrait or landscape, and how they would be displayed as a set. The size was A3 and the matt prints were mounted on mounting card. However, as the card was too thin, there was some curling. I felt the chosen print size would be appropriate for the subject displayed.

I got some positive feed back from my tutors and class colleagues, saying the subject was  interesting and photographs of good quality. Furthermore, two friends said they though the pictures had good narratives and liked the two images of the homeless basement bedroom and reception at the refugee center in particular.

I chatted to other class colleagues about their work also, which included portraits and landscapes from their perspective.

My statement read as follows: Church and Community: The display is about exploring, through the medium of Photography, my place in community. As the Christian faith is important to me, I chose to focus on ways the church is active and has a significant place in the 2010s. I hope to show how Faith and Spirituality can be a strong motivation to do good. Through symbols from a pair of old boots to a tree in bloom, they reflect the basic necessities with the Greater Light, which can be sometimes overlooked. Each place has something to communicate visually about hope, dignity, past and present and that church has enriched community.
