On Friday 23rd October the whole of year 12 and 13 photography students headed down to the Jersey Art Museum where we were delivered an opportunity to get our creative work exhibited within the Jersey Museum. This was created to celebrate 125 years of the Jersey Evening Post [originally named Evening Post]. This would be a really great opportunity to get our work out there within the Jersey community as well as actually being a part of an exhibition.

The film cameras were great, as I’am fond of vintage cameras, it really brought the whole exhibition into perspective that people actually used to use these to make photographs for the papers and looking around at the images they were all so amazing without any editing being done at all. I personally was unable to attend the exhibition but from pictures and research i have done i have a clear imagery of what the room and presentation looked like. I do not like the layout of the exhibition and thought it could have been done a lot better. The very bright red background was too intense and set off the view to the images. However the contrast of the black and white images onto the red was very complimentary. The captions of the photographs were too high up the wall and very small so they were unreadable from a low level. The actually quality of the prints at the exhibition were very poor also.

The space that the exhibition was in the Jersey Museum and the space was also very small for the images shown. Ceilings were relatively low and makes the space feel cramped and small. The lighting was very harsh and did not compliment the photographs well at all, On a whole i thought the exhibition was very poor and could have been done ALOT better. This is a shame because the conceptual idea is a good and if done well could have been a successful and well perceived.
