DandAD


I entered the photography brief in the DandAD student award, the challenge was to create a series of photographs expressing 'The fight against dementia'. The brief was particularly interesting as no copy was allowed and because of the sensitive nature of the subject. I have been looking at the work of the winners, Vanessa Norwood and Pat Butler, the ideas they used are the same or very similar to some of the ideas i had when working on the brief. The concept for each image is simple and clear, yet helps to describe dementia perfectly. It is easy to see why the work received first prize as the execution of the photographs is beautiful.

I think this brief was one of the most difficult. Like you said, you had some of these ideas too and I bet hundreds of people did too, and all the entries were similiar. Just goes to show how important the execution is to the outcome. Beautiful shots.
