Exhibition Review

Exhibition Review

The Exhibition was on Wednesday 10th December and it was held at UCLan University in central lancashire. It was held by a group of Preston's College Photography Students that are eager to impress their newly developed skills in the photography world. The Exhibition was called 'Perspectives', this is because every photographer in the group had a different image, a different idea in mind when taking photos. There was roughly 25 students who participated in the show. In the show, the photos were hung in a room about head height and there was no visually similar images placed next to each other. The images weren't placed in groups because the whole idea of the name 'Perspectives' was that every photo was different.
      People would agree that the artwork was brilliant, but only a few were outstanding. I would argue that the best painting was the one below. This is because the emotion that has gone into the thought of the picture. A lot of the photos were done with colour, however its good that the fact that this one is black and white because it makes the facial details stand out with more emotion in the photo.
     The Theme in the exhibition was Perspectives which gives the idea that everybody's photo was meant to be different in their own creative, distinctive way. Compared to other exhibitions I've seen, i would argue that the is one of the best. This is due to the fact of the theme and the work and effort that has clearly gone into the show. The artist that created this photo drew my attention straight away to this photo. This was because it showed more emotion that the other photos. A lot of the photos had no expression to the models face. A few of the pictures the model was dressed up in different clothes, but with less emotion than this photo.
Aswell as my favorite one, there was a couple of other photos that stood out to me from the start and caught my eye. You could argue that the most unique photos were the ones with the coloured backgrounds. This is because they are the first pictures that catch your eye when you walk in the room. A couple had Orange backgrounds which looks effective and gave it a summer effect. The model in front of the orange photo was wearing sunglasses and shorts which made gave the picture a hot summer look. Another effect which looked professionally unique was a a sky blue background tone. The model in the blue background was wearing a coat which gave it a cold, wintery look. By having completely different photos it explains the exhibition name 'perspectives'.
