for our final photography project for year 1, we were asked to produce a 5 picture narrative of a location which is significant to us. the final images aim to create a 'sense of place' of the chosen location. i decided on a very personal idea, and i am proud to say i achieved a first for the work i produced overall.
the following images were shot on 35mm ilford HP5 film using a Pentax K1000 analogue camera (50mm lens), and printed by hand in the darkroom.
somewhere
near home • ciara callinan • overgrowth. despair. loneliness • this assignment
unconsciously asked me to revisit something from the past. a place of
significance. somewhere important • this personal project evolved when i
decided to create photographs in this particular location. this very location.
one where we went every day. but then you disappeared • in 2004 i lost my
father. this location, half a mile from my home, is where he once kept his
dogs. this place, which i had not revisited in many years, is suddenly a place
i no longer recognise. an abandoned terrain. a place in which the natural
environment has claimed for itself.
somewhere
