At the end of the academic year we have an end of year show and when looking at how unorganised the first exhibition was, I am determined that the next one will be a success. Fortunately before this, we have another chance to show some more of our work over the Easter period.
As a group I feel that everyone will be able to benefit from being a little better organised as we lacked direction and were all a bit unsure of what was required from us. I felt that we were not very cohesive and lacked drive and focus. Although this did not have an effect on my personal motivation, it did make me feel like I had failed on a personal level.
As I stated before on my blog, it was a great opportunity to show myself the work that I could produce and felt comfortable with the work that I put on the walls. I was a little disappointed that there were no professional people from the industry, as everyone was asked to try and invite at least one other photographer. I did feel that this was partially my fault, as it was the exhibition was not marketed properly, and is something that I want to try and push in the Easter show.
I have thought of several ways to do this from contacting local papers and radio stations to designing flyer's and sending out emails to local people within the industry. Hopefully this will have a better effect and it will help to generate more interest and awareness and result in a future client base.
