VIEWFINDER
An eight page, A4 weekly photographic-newspaper primarily photographed, produced and printed in Glasgow. The intention of the publications are to provide weekly news in Glasgow through visual, photographic information rather than text. Each issue features a selection of seven photographs, printed using the Risograph onto newsprint. 

Alongside the regular content, every edition includes a distinctive limited edition print, providing a platform for experimentation with diverse photographic processes and offering readers an exclusive collectible.
Aims for this project are to develop skills in techniques such as production, pagination and editorial, design and photography through exploration in successful working methods and reflecting on trail and error.

VIEWFINDERBerlin Edition.

I had just begun the weekly photographic-newspaper,  VIEWFINDER,  when I visted Berlin on a trip with my course. 
Rather than photographing and printing when I returned to Glasgow, I chose to photograph and produce all while away.  

Edition 006 of VIEWFINDER printed in Colorama, Berlin, Germany.

VIEWFINDERBerlin Launch.
I held a launch for the Berlin edition of VIEWFINDER. It was a good way to introduce my project to others in the course, but also provided me with a chnace to learn about event organisation.

I wanted to intergrate part of the Berlin culture within this edition (006) of VIEWFINDER. 
Attendees of the launch were encouraged to create their own Limited Edition Print for edition 006 using the famous Berlin ‘Photoautomats’. 
Allowing people to be part of the process created an interactive experience during the launch. It not only made the event engaging and memorable, but it also aligned well with the theme of VIEWFINDER.

In addition to the Photoautomat results, the entire launch was also captured on a handheld camcorder, which I’ve edited into a concise documentary-style film.
