Master of photography

Last week was quite busy for me photographically, on Weds I took the family up to Shoreditch to look at the private view of my MA work. So I guess this makes me a master of photography but of course you never stop learning and after working as a professional for over 12 years and finishing this level of education I still feel there is so much more ahead of me than behind me.
It was a pretty good turn out but we did invite around 1500 people and I guess at it's peek maybe 400-500 were crammed into The Printspace enjoying a Heineken and looking at the fruits of our collective labour. It's funny but because this was the culmination of a two year online Masters the final show was actually the first time I had met some of my fellow students. There was a good atmosphere after a couple of weeks were the pressure of delivering a show at all seemed to test some peoples diplomacy and patience. But we got there in the end and after reconsidering my display I went with a wallpaper square on the wall rather than a column which was the original idea. I think it looked pretty good and I got some very positive feedback from picture editors, photographers and the gallery owner who told me they considered it best in show.
I think the project worked best in a book and perhaps if I exhibit the work again I will add a few more pictures and a few bigger prints.
