Redeye Networking for New Mindsets on Photography

 

 

These are the slides from my talk at MediaCity UK for the Redeye Network.
It was a great opportunity to meet and talk face to face with a whole new community of photographers, enthusiasts and educators.

I apologise for those just joining the conversation here, as I tend to use my slides as a prompt, or starting point to hopefully explore the interests of the audience I am talking with. As such, it may be a little hard to follow the narrative within the slides but please drop me a line if you are uncertain about anything or perhaps interested in finding out more.

I wanted to work with the Redeye Network to speak with and meet photographers, enthusiasts and educators in the northwest and pose some questions that I began consider about 6 years.

The talk essentially seeks to motivate you (the participants) by offering an alternative (or new) mindset on how we, as educators, may traditionally consider as the rules for photography education. I offer a journey through our ‘open-door’ explorations at Coventry University, and how we learnt to cherish the unexpected.

I am also pleased to introduce my latest project Newfotoscapes, a multi-platform book which is seeking to expand these practices to question and address the broad field of photography today. Fundamentally, it offers a focused eye on the possibilities for the creative author and image-maker through a series of conversations with key stakeholders and influential voices including Andy Adams, Charlotte Cotton, Mishka Henner and Stephen Mayes.
