Task 2 - Exhibition review medway photo.

For my review i will speak about - Fon-du and Fusion. 
     Firstly focusing on Fon-du which was held at Sun pier house in Chatham. On first examination the space was very nice with lots of natural light pouring in which gave the space a very inviting atmosphere which i found very good , the space was also very clean with white walls which enhanced the photographers work. It had high ceilings and  a clean floor also. When I started to look at the work and go around the exhibition it almost felt has if it had a start and end point to the whole exhibition as i moved through the space and that was very clever because i got to see each person work equally instead of missing work. I really enjoying the fact that each person approach was different with the use of computers and iPads i got to explore the visual photographs on screen as well as normal photographs on paper. I liked the fact that some pieces of work had been present extremely well will lovely wooden frames, this gave the high quality impression which i personally really liked and it gave a very good finishing touch to the beautiful photographs of Durdle door. I really think that Fon-du did an exceptional exhibition also because they had given extra information with postcards and books that relate to the concept and idea of the work which was very helpful and the descriptions of the work was next to it so i could read that then look closer at the photographs. 
     Secondly Fusion which was held at Chatham high street, the overall shop was very light and airy which was very good. When entering the exhibition it was confusing on what to look at first and the images didn't seem to flow very well within the space and the fact that the descriptions of each piece of work was half way across the other side of the room didn't interest me at all. I was looking at the work and to find what the concept was i would have to travel then come back so i didn't enjoying that very much, it would have been improved to have each description under the particular piece.The space was very narrow which i didn't mind but the floor of the exhibition space was very bumping and look very bad and it may have been a trip hazard. as i progress through this exhibition the light source got worst and some areas were very dark and i do not know if this was the intention but it felt as if it did need more light at the rear of this exhibition. The use of the TV's i enjoying very much and this gave variety the the whole exhibition. 
Overall i did enjoy both exhibition and both had much to show and give to the viewer.
