Studio Brief Final Submission - Edit and Elisa
Power - Distance - Mystery - Elegance
The studio work requires a lot of attention and practice at the very beginning. It was difficult to combine the technical learning process with giving sufficient attention to the sitter so a big thanks to them for their time and patience.

Open Brief “late” inspirations.
Aaron Siskind - Harry Callahan - Minor White
As I was late in deciding the subject for my Open Brief project I didn’t get a real chance to look for inspirations. I undertook the Open Brief as an exercise in trying to look at the world around us in a minimal and/or abstract way and now that this project is over I’m still looking for these elements around me. I have been surprised by how much the process of exploring this project continues to influence my way of seeing.
I really admire and am inspired by the strong sense of design, composition, simplicity and elegance in the work of the photographers shown above.
The start of a photograph is from a previous picture. There is no preconception, rather predisposition (which predisposition includes the camera, lenses and the film with me at the time). I will usually return to a familiar place or one that seems familiar. I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place al this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture) is spontaneous … Ambiguity may be the clue, there is the material. and there am I intruding my private intent. I know the imminence of the world and experience it with full sensuality; at the same time I am involved with projection of myself as idea. Strong tensions are inevitable, pleasurable and disturbing. Is not the aesthetic optimum order with the tensions continuing? - Aaron Siskind - Creative Camera, May, 1970, page 136
Open Your Eyes is the collective work of the first year students of Dublin Institute of Technology’s BA in Photography programme.
The work displayed reflects each student’s individuality and character, as well as their own personal relationship with photography. The theme of the exhibition is for each student to discover the unlimited possibilities that the camera can offer, and show it from their own perspective, be it portraiture, landscape, documentary or fine art.
Throughout the year the student’s have been experimenting, learning, developing and exploring their photographic practice. This show is the work that they feel reflects their first year successfully.
