Photography Trip to Clifton Park

 Usually at this time of year, our whole department would have been venturing over to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park to research artists, produce drawings and take photographs. Unfortunately, as with so many things this year, we were unable to go! So in place of this, our Photography students instead have had a lovely morning and afternoon out at Clifton Park doing photoshoots surrounding their concepts which they developed before half term. 

Luckily we just about avoided the rain and were actually treated to two glorious autumnal (albeit rather chilly!) days with some beautiful sunshine and a fantastic array of colours especially from the seasonal trees and dropped leaves. Starting at the museum, we took a slow walk around the park, stopping at areas such as the war memorial, the band stand, and the rockery. Each student focussed on their own concept, many took with them interesting props to photograph, the likes of which included umbrellas, mirrors, clingfilm, and even milk!! It was great to see everyone really getting stuck into it and working so well together, always being on hand to help out and model for each other!

Here are just a few photos of what went on!
