#005 - Photography Statement of Intent

I’ve just finished the second module of my master’s program in photography. The module was assessed through an in-progress-portfolio and a video documentary around my own photographic methods. Both assignments are handed in but not yet graded as I record this.

Despite the discrepancy between the podcast format and the visual nature of photography, I’ll use this episode to make those two assignments public.

My performative understanding of artistic practice does not come from standing at a distance.
