Evaluation of Medium Format Film Images (Unedited)
For my first set of images, I used my medium format camera, an Agfa 1 which I sourced from Budapest, to capture different nature spots throughout Ontario, specifically in Toronto. During my time in the city, I found myself feeling isolated and disconnected from others due to its harsh atmosphere. Hence, I sough
Screen Printing Workshop: Day 1
Day One: During the first day of the workshop, we worked on creating designs for our screens.

Bad Images From Photoshoot 06-05-21
At the start of this photoshoot, I intended to capture water spraying from the model’s mouth and use the Speedlight I was using to freeze the droplets in time.

(fig.1) untitled by Paris Naik-Neenan In figure one, the subject leans back with their arms behind their back, facing toward the sky, which demonstrates a state of tension within the subject, symbolising my mother’s state of mind of being contorted, twisted and pulled in one direction while seeking to head in
