Reflecting on what has been produced so far in this project and on the course, and following plenty of guidance from tutors, I have entered both the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize 2018, and Portrait of Britain which is run by British Journal of Photography. I feel that the body of work fits for both competitions, but I am not sure whether the quality of work is strong enough at this stage.

 

I am also waiting to meet up with Simon Weitzman to discuss his documentary on The Beatles. Through a few emails exchanged, there may be scope for some of my work to be featured in his documentary, which would be fantastic if that coincides with the end of my MA Film & Photography studies. Weitzman film, titled Here There and Everywhere, focuses on how The Beatles’ influence remains in the modern world, with interviews and behind the scenes footage of musicians that keep the spirit and memory of The Beatles alive today.

If I could get some of my images featured in this documentary it would definitely help push and promote my photographic work, especially to a target market that is definitely interested! I also researched the documentary a little more, and adding to Weitzman’s experience is producer David L. Simon, who was head of DreamWorks Television Animations, vice president of programming for Fox Television.
