FEEDBACK MARIE CURIE
Hi Vicky,
Thank you so much for those, they are fantastic!! Looks like it was a great afternoon too, I was sorry I couldn’t make it but everyone is on holiday this week so it’s a bit manic in the office.
Did you get to the park ok?
The Halifax Courier have requested an image for the paper so I’ll send one over and ask them to credit it to you.
Many thanks,
Lucy

FEED BACK from the Idol Dead Album shoot
When my band, The Idol Dead, need to shoot an album cover, we knew what we wanted, we just didn’t know how to get.
I contacted Vicky because she’d done live photos of us before, as well as using our guitarist as a model on some of her other work, so I knew she had an eye for a good picture.
We set up the shoot and, with the vaguest of directions from me, Vicky got tothinking about how we would achieve my ‘vision’.
On the day of the shoot Vicky was happy to have me along to bounce ideas off, which was brilliant for a client as we’re usually handed a few prints at the end of a campaign to choose from.
This way was much more collaborative and I thought it worked well – I felt I had an input into the finished article and Vicky was able to deliver just what I was lookign for.
Vicky is easy going in her approach, but that’s not to say she’s passive, she pulls you along in the wake of her enthusiasm and you can tell she has a real passion for her work.
When the cover was delivered I, and my band, we’re over the moon. The look of the picture, the composition and the digital post-production all perfectly captured the over-riding feel of the album … which is about loss, love and lust. Vicky managed to convey that all in one picture.
Vicky had understood, and realized, the brief perfectly.
But hey, don’t take my word for it, look what the fans (who actually paid for the recording and production of this record) had to say about it:
Karen Goldberg - I think it's fab, she's captured the mood of the album perfectly.
Nick Fenwick - I think the picture's ace, it's a vibrant depiction of tenderness and erotic contact enacted by two intriguing and well defined characters against such a stark white background and devoid of interruptions like colour and (much) clothing yet interrupted by disturbing shadows and a lack of smooth gradient, it leaves a lot to the imagination while asking a great deal.
Rob Currey - Heightened blood flow inducing. I'd like to swap places with the bald dude and taste her neck.
Steph Holgate Its really well thought out and well designed. The lighting and colours make me feel a bit uneasy, which I hope was the intention of the artist/creator of this piece.
Another way to add a tilt shift is in photoshop raw

"People living in extreme poverty suffer daily from the contempt, indifference and rejection of their fellow human beings.
I had escaped poverty, I told them, so anyone could do it. All they needed was opportunity. Opportunity, however, was getting thin on the ground.
Poverty isn't only about a lack of money and resources. The worst poverty is found when there is a lack of education, understanding, hope - liberty, fraternity, egality, as the French say.
I loved the noise of dominoes clattering on tables, the lilting Yorkshire voices, the tongue-in-cheek arguments over a few pence in change, and their loving insults and banter.

“Taken together, New Labour policies have helped to build a series of overlapping chav caricatures: the feckless, the non-aspirational, the scrounger, the dysfunctional and the disorderly. To hear this sort of rhetoric from Labour, rather than the Tories, has confirmed the stereotypes and prejudices many middle-class people have about working-class communities and individuals. But it can be far subtler than outright attacks. Many of New Labour's underlying philosophies were steeped in middle-class triumphalism. They were based on the assumption that the tattered remnants of the working-class were are on the wrong side of history - and must be made to join 'Middle England' like the rest of us.”
Taking away support from the disabled, the unemployed and the working poor is not straightforward. It can only be achieved by a campaign of demonisation – to crush any potential sympathy. Benefit recipients must only appear as feckless, workshy scroungers, living in opulent quasi-mansions with wall-to-wall widescreen TVs, rampaging around the Canary Islands courtesy of handouts from the squeezed taxpayer. Benefit fraud does exist – according to Government estimates, it is worth less than 1 per cent of welfare spending – but the most extreme examples are passed off as representative, or as the "tip of the iceberg". The reality is all but airbrushed out of existence.

I really have to plan my time carefully now, I’ve lost time due to bad weather and other unforseen circumstances. I need to be completely focussed on what it is that I want to do.
I’ve been thinking about how I can add quotes and text to the photography I think just adding quotes doesn’t leave enough room for discussion as they are opinions that are already formulated by people who are in the public eye and therefore associated with one way of thinking or another. I came across a quote that was represented as a truism and it reminded me of Jenny Holtzer and her truisms. I think that I’m going to attempt to take the quotes I’ve researched and come up with some of my own truisms and maybe incorporate them into the exhibition.

As part of building my portfolio I asked through facebook and in person for input on images to include in my portfolio I had already got the images down to 12 but wanted to reduce it to 10.
as part of print research I had to fit the images centrally onto the hand made paper I tried several ways of doing this
1. I put it through on its own
2. I taped it to the top of a4 paper and printed at a5 size
3. I taped it in the middle and changed the sizing and position in the print menu until I got it right.
As part of my preparation for print I made a border from brushes to make the edges of the images less straight.
I did this by taking the border I had pre made put another layer over the top of it and placed the photo in that. I then made a clipping mask out of that layer which took the edge away

There are many different ways of presenting you printed portfolio. It is not professional to present them in a design portfolio with plastic sleeves. I have never even considered any of the above but now I've seen them I am very excited about the prospect of making my own professional portfolios. Not this brief however as I simply do not have enough time.
Thinking about pricing photography
When I'm exhibiting I have to think of the potential for someone to buy my work. One of the things I picked up is you have to be realistic about how you price your work. You can't go fixing a ridiculous price to something because you have a sentimental attachment to it and you can't undercut yourself otherwise you are paying to make your art.
The way I am thinking about pricing is
cost + (time x hourly rate) fixing and hourly rate I think is difficult I could set it at minimum wage but I don't think that would be enough to survive on were I to make this my professional practice I also don't think I could go at full price as I don't have near the amount of experience in the area as other people. working at minimum wage of £8.00an hour at 3 days =
I reckon with just the photography I spent at minimum 3 full days taking photographs plus paper making.
£192
costs were
I used about half of the toner in my printer but if I were to do it again I think I would maybe use a quarter tops so thats about £30
frames = £15
screws and hangers = £4
paint for frames = £10
paper =£ 1.20
total for cost therefore is £30
If I divide that by the number of pieces I am selling that equals
£3.00 + £192/ 3 = £67
£67 / £10 = £6.70 x2=13.74 so I need to charge that minimum
I'm going to round it up to £15
However as well as this when I exhibit as suggested by David I'm going to see what prices the other images are going for.
I can see from working this out now that this is all just a rough guess and I need to from now on when working on work like this keep a log of the amount of time I spend on it. So that I can work out a proper price.
