At the recent Extinction Rebellion meeting I attended, ‘Heading for Extinction & what to do about it’, I had a discussion with one of the other audience members about my initial response towards Extinction Rebellion. I explained that I have so far been slightly intimidated by the movement, and have since been questioning why. 1.…… Continue reading Extinction Rebellion | Analysing Campaign Identity

After discussing my interests and ambitions with fellow videographer Amelia Sutcliffe, I explained my difficulty finding paid creative opportunities relating to social and environmental sustainability.

The importance of communication in campaigning | Youth Strike 4 Climate
Reflections from the Youth Strike for Climate in London today… Communication is so important! Lack of clarity in terms of time, date, location can lose supporters of the movement on the day. There were numerous ‘straggler’ groups that clearly cared and wanted to be involved, but were not able to join in. Having someone who’s…… Continue reading The importance of communication in campaigning | Youth Strike 4 Climate

Practicing Outdoor Portrait Photography
Eyes in Focus When selecting which images to pass on to the client, it was essential that the eyes were sharply in focus. I think with portraits this is key, as the eyes are the most detailed part of the face and often convey the most expression. The bottom two images in the series of…… Continue reading Practicing Outdoor Portrait Photography
Reflecting on Group Critique
Main points of observation: Exploring aesthetic value (e.g. collage/more dramatic editing style) could add visual intrigue that could draw in a different audience. This is preferable to creating content that satisfies an audience that is already participating in environmental activism. Furthermore, my aim is to reach the audience that is not currently engaged in environmental…… Continue reading Reflecting on Group Critique
Progress on gaps in skillset
After reflecting on PPP1 and my skillset evaluation from 2018, I was prompted to revisit the detailed skillset evaluation I did this January 2019.
