Jessica Petty, third year (Level 6) of BA (Hons) Photography has successfully obtained a APHE Bursary which provided her with the opportunity to attend The Autumn Offspring Photomeet 2015.

There were 4 X 20-minute 1-2-1 portfolio reviews each day which Jessica was able to participate in featuring reviewers such as:

Monica Allende / Simon Bainbridge / Tony Bell / Emma Bowkett / Tim Clark / Kate Edwards / Pal Hansen / Eleanor Macnair / Johanna Neurath / Frede Spencer / Hannah Watson / Zelda Cheatle /Bruno Ceschel / Matt Martin / Marisa Bellani / Max Houghton / Kirstie Johnstone / Daniel Moorey / Daniel Stier / Mike Trow / Lauren Winfield / Aine Donovan / Katerina Gharraph / Anne Bourgeois-Vignon / Federica Chiocchetti / Fiona Rogers / Harrie Hardie / Anne Braybon / Lewis Chaplin / Emily Graham / Shoair Mavlian / Martin Usborne / Josh Lustig / Brandei Estes / Helen Trompeteler / Celia Davies / Will Sanders / Dewi Lewis / Shannon Ghannam / Andrew Sanigar / Chris Littlewood

Jessica won the bursary by submitting her CV and a pdf portfolio of 5-6 images, which provided a flavour of her work. Jessica had this to say about her work: “My work is led by a sympathetic use of available light to create visually captivating documentary still life and portrait images.

“Approaching subjects sensitively and using the camera as an alternative way of seeing and interpreting reality is important to my work. With a love and knowledge of both traditional and digital photographic techniques, I am interested in the concept of aftermath, both visually and psychologically. My most resent work Moorland Fire has involved collecting and observing objects to create future evidence. Through an earlier project Memory, childhood memories have been recorded in visual form by photographing my grandparents.”
