The End :)

Two exciting days and it eventually came to an end. We had almost 200 guests, very positive comments in our guest book and, what is the most important, so much fun :). I absolutely loved every second of it and couldn't ask for anything better.
Just want to say big thanks to our sponsors Clipper Tea and Dragon Soop for providing us with their products and also thanks to everyone involved - my amazing team!

Amazing!!!

Opening day went very well!!!! We had more than 80 guests !! Everyone was in very positive mood and enjoyed themselves. We had some good comments in our guest book. Overall big success!!! Tomorrow another day of exhibition, can't wait!

Few pics (more to come) :

The Big Picture

Friday, December 2nd, 2011. Published in Photography by Tristan Savage

The people organising and exhibiting in The Big Picture exhibition are all second year Photography students at Portsmouth University. The work has been taken from the first brief in their Documentary Practices unit and they have had to organise it themselves as well as considering the form of the exhibition, location, publicity, funding, online presence, catalogues etc.

As ‘The Big Picture’ suggests the venue is a cinema. No.6 Cinema in fact. This will be a great opportunity to give something unusual and interesting for the viewer. A place that you can sit and relax and watch the images on screen. be sure to check outwww.thebigpicture2011.co.uk for more info.

Strong Island is a local portal that promotes art in Portsmouth :

The exhibition it's coming !!! Everyone is super excited and we can't wait for opening :). What is going on at the moment? :
We have been on Express FM on Monday talking little bit about the event and promoting it.
Posters are up and flyers are flying everywhere ;).
Our website is up and looks awesome: http://thebigpicture2011.co.uk/
We are going to do some kind of lottery - wagamama's vouchers to win!

I can't wait !!!

about my work

Little info about my work for exhibition:

'Territories' means something more for me then just a place or selected area. I interpret it as a borders, walls make people kind of trapped and what comes with it, closed minded. My approach is more psychical than physical. Everything depends on our point of view, place of birth etc. In my photographs I try metaphorical approach to the subject.
