This year I chose a bit of a different module to my course, Photography: Contexts of Practice. This helped me express myself through my pictures. For this module we were asked to produce 2 portfolios with whatever subject matter we deemed fit.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to go for something a bit different, I chose to focus my camera on paths. These can be seen both literally and figuratively, a path will lead you to your destination, but in life we must make choices and follow a \u2018path\u2019 which will inevitably shape you as a person\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-588\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/files\/2022\/02\/lia1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1109\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">We must piece together the pieces and it isn\u2019t always as easy as it may seem. I used a collage effect by taking many pictures and overlapping them. I wanted this photograph to convey that following one path isn\u2019t always as easy as you think, I don\u2019t know what I want to do and which path to follow and I wanted to allude to this, following a path isn\u2019t always black &amp; white, it is difficult to choose and find the way.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-589\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/files\/2022\/02\/lia2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"783\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">The focus within these pictures is the subconscious decision we make in our day to day lives which shape us as individuals. I overlapped pictures of paths and faces to hint at this idea, taking the seriousness of life and the beauty of where I mind drifts to.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-590\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/files\/2022\/02\/lia3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"921\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">The decisions we make aren\u2019t always clear and may sometimes seem very blurry\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\" align=\"center\">You may not know which path is right and this can affect you on a deep level but eventually you must choose.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-591\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/artistry\/files\/2022\/02\/lia4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1034\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Lia Gillett, and I am currently in my second year studying media.
