Niall McDiarmid is one of the best lectures we’ve had so
far, he was interesting and presented himself and his work well, he also did
what a lot of other photographers don’t do and talked about how he originally
got into photography and how he started to make a name for himself which I feel
is a really good insight and gives you a bit of perspective on how it’s
possible and of ways in which it’s done, he also gave a good insight into how
showing your work to all kinds of people is one of the best way to get your
work out there into the market and get people knowing your name and it’s a way
of making contacts.
As well as this he talked about how he had work for making
money and paying the bills, which is his commercial work, and book covers,
things that pay well but perhaps don’t allow quite as much creativity and
personality as personal work can have, which he did in his spare time to start
building up the body of work, this personal work was called Crossing Paths, and looked to document
and recorded people from all over Brittan people of all shapes and sizes and
style, people that are interesting and different, he also photographed them
well placing people with particular colours next to walls that are the same or
photographing groups with strange group dynamics, creating quite an interesting
body of work.
