Planning

Before I’m going to shoot any images. I need to plan what I’m going to do first. The first thing is trying to get volunteers/ artist that would want to take part in my project.

So to begin my look for artist, I emailed some tutors at the Ulster University Belfast campus. So they could pass my email onto the students who would be interested in getting there images taken which i also said that they could use them in their artist website or post them on their social media. As i believe thats the important that you give them something in return.

So I emailed the following staff at Ulster-

Cara Murphy

Suzanna Chan

Maureen Collins

Brian Connoly – passed the email to the fine art students.

Christopher McHugh – Passed the information to silversmith and jewellery and ceramics students.

Micheal Moore – pass the email to 2nd and 3rd year student in ceramics.

I also emailed Artist studios

QSS studios – which i received two emails back from two artist that wanted their images taken – Grace McMurray and Amy Higgins.

Emailed the Platform Arts but never received an email back.

Emailed an artist who’s studio is in Larne – Judith Logan – unfortunately she’s just too busy and couldn’t take anything else on.

I emailed Alistair Wilson – but he won’t be back to Northern Ireland until 15th December. He has a studio in Orchid Studios.

Overall, I am quite happy with the outcome as many students have emailed me back, here is the list:

Inga Hamilton – Silversmith/ Jewellery

Zara McLaughlin – Ceramics

Erin Calvert – Silversmith/ Jewellery

Matthew Walton – Silversmith/ Jewellery

Emily Shaw – Fine art

Martin Marks – Silversmith

Maela Amin – Fine Art
