Following on from the exercise here I discussed my thoughts on how I was overthinking my photography and in that respect losing the spontaneity, the fun if you will. To recapture that feeling once more I took my iPhone to the local hall and small vegetable garden to inject that spontaneity again, to take photos purely for enjoyment (whilst I appreciate this is a degree level course this was purely to reinstate my love of photography.
I created a collage of my time there in a photobook layout. While I was shooting I could feel that strong love of photography being re kindled, I was searching for the little things and planning compositions in my mind and allowing my thoughts and photos to lead me down new pathways both literal and figurative.
Catherine Banks, a friend and fellow student commented “I think it’s a pretty general problem with students studying photography that they become more self-conscious. It’s part of the process and finding ways to make it ‘fun’ is key I think.” It made me feel quite a bit better that I wasn’t alone in this doubt, and perhaps it is a positive thing as I am questioning my photography more so as to explore more avenues within this degree.

Great that you’re looking for fun and you might find, as time goes on, that you’re able to really inject that into the coursework.
