Introduction

To start with an introduction is in order.

My name is Jaimie Golby and I study photography at the university of Hertfordshire. I am currently in my third and final year, which brings me to this blog and what it’s all about.

This blog will be a journal of sorts. A running documentary of my final major project. It will be a flowing archive of where I store and post everything related to the project from research, ideas and concepts, to test shoots, edits and eventually final images.

Last year I made a different blog for another similar project at university called negotiated projects. Follow this link to see that work.

Like the previous project, this one will also be landscape based. As of yet I only have very general ideas of which direction I want the project to go in, but over the next few weeks I hope to have developed a much more precise idea, but for now all I can tell you is that I will be continuing with working in different locations shooting landscapes.

More about me and my work...

Since I first started studying photography, a few years ago now, I have always had a love of shooting landscape, seascape and wildlife. I’ve always preferred to be out trekking across country looking for that perfect location and moment rather than being stuck in a studio. There’s something about being outdoors in the moment that really appeals to me, the sense of adventure and exploration that comes with getting the shot.

A lot of my inspiration comes from photographers such as Ansel Adams, Julian Calverley and David Lloyd to name but a few. These photographers and much more will be mentioned again later in the blog in much more avid detail I am sure.

For now I’ll keep it short as there’s not much more to say in the introduction until further research and development has been done.

Jaimie.
