Personal Development Plan


Yesterday we were given our new brief, To create a Personal development Plan (PDP) .  If I’m honest at first I wasn’t very inspired by the potential of this brief. I can’t help but feel because we are now third years this for most of us is going to be our last year that we have full creative control and I was hoping that this year was going to be a great opportunity to churn out loads of top notch imagery . This is a 12 week brief giving us all plenty of time to construct the elements of our plans we want to do. It wasn’t until I actually started to write my plan that I got excited about the brief , It’s a great excuse to iron out the creases in my practice and get myself up to the standard I desire to be. As a photographer I think there are loads and loads of areas to personally develop, with technology developing at the pace it is, I find it easy to fall behind, both technically and my theories too. I haven’t even branched into the social media side of advertising myself as a photographer ( im not sure I fully want too)  but that is a possible idea and  there is a lot to do and little time before we graduate. We also have two major projects creeping up that will be extremely consuming so this is a great opportunity to confront some issues face to face and tackle them .
