August 11, 2014 Also due Saturday was a work in progress submission for a personal lighting project. This involved a working artists’ statement as well as preliminary images for ideas. So far I have had a few pieces of jewellery to work with, but will be incorporating new items in the week to follow. My in-progress artists’ statement is as follows:

During the past month and a half, I’ve become fascinated with products sold here in France, and more so in Provence. More specifically, this involves local jewellery, fabrics, and other fashion and beauty products marketed toward women. Although I have very little experience with product photography, I have gained some inspiration in pursuing it over time while viewing it in advertisements online or in magazines. If I can discover a way to market each product such that the viewer covets it, then I have achieved my goal.
