Lesson content

Finalising the output of your photographic work can be the most important step in the project, and the most exciting! The chosen output for my work Gita was large scale photographic silk prints. It was integral for my work to be printed onto fabric as it aligned with the meaning behind my work.
Choosing an output that makes sense to you, your idea, research and ‘vision’ is key. Will your work live digitally or will it be physically printed? A book format or a print? These decisions are important and should be made alongside the ideas behind your work. It is important to think about output earlier on in the project (around lesson 6). This can be handy as your decided output may inform the way you shoot and even what you shoot. Will your output be one of the following or something else:
-
Photographic print
-
Photobook
-
Zine
-
Digital print
Think about the logistics of each of these outputs. Such as printing costs, paper stock, binding materials, and text. Consider how all these elements will enrich and add to your overall idea and reference your research.
