P&P is my third photography course with OCA. I received above average marks in assessments for The Art of Photography (Nov 2013) and Digital Photographic Practice (Nov 2014).
While a new course usually brings new challenges and different experiences, my time on People and Place was unique in several respects.

Suggested Reading/Viewing: Conceptual Approaches to Space: Sternfeld and Alys
The tutor suggested having a look at these two projects for ideas on how one might develop a conceptual approach to photographing space.
Joel
Sternfeld – High Line Series
The
tutor pointed to this as an example of an investigation into the allocation of public space. I don’t have a copy
of the book associated with this project, nor access to an exhibit. I have seen a few online reviews and videos
and what I found immediately remarkable is that Sternfeld does not speak of
representing his work as conceptual. In
the video referenced here, he speaks of the wonder and awe experienced shooting
this bit of nature-in-the-city, but nothing to suggest that he sees his work as
anything more than what it appears, images of urban landscapes. Perhaps he has spoken of concept elsewhere.
