Open Space is a MediaLab at HKU where the student chooses their own project. They get the freedom to learn a new skill or talk about a new subject, and have to make their own planning in these weeks.
I have been wanting to learn analog photography, so my plan was to get inspired by photographers who’s style I liked, come up with a theme for myself and start shooting. The learning curve here will be the photography itself and using the camera gear, but most importantly the developing process. As a final step I wanted to make a photobook with the pictures, I have been wanting to try some new and different things in terms of paper, binding and design of it all.
