2012. 1st January.

Happy New Year everybody. Today's the start of 2012, an exciting year for me! I have many projects which I shall work on and embark on and complete during this year, I am planning on having an exhibition in a few months and there are a few interesting opportunities opening up for me! I shall blog about my journey during the next year, so stay tuned. 

I never really make new years resolutions anymore, except from the typical "eat healthier" and "stay fit" (which never really last!), but I am positive that I shall push forward in my photography throughout the year by experimenting and generating new ideas.

I hope you have all had a great new years and Chrismas time.

Flower of Light. 24th of November.

Here is a flower, not a normal flower, it's a flower of light... the normal eye can't see it, but the camera can!

Today I have been researching into and planning my new project, a series of photographs documenting home education families in England. I was home educated up until the age of 16 and I absolutely loved it and benefited from it a lot, this subject is something I am passionate about and I am really excited to start working on this project! I will keep you informed whilst I am working on it!

The Flower of Light. 10th November.

Tried out some more long exposures tonight, I was trying to do another light orb with some glow sticks but they were not bright enough sadly! I decided to draw a flower instead, so here it is!

I was printing some 5x4 film today in the darkroom, I LOVE the quality, so superior to anything else. Amazing!

Light Orb attempt 1. 9th of November.

I have recently been inspired by some photographs of light orbs which I found online, so I decided to give it a go with my little LED torch tied onto some string. It is a lot harder than I thought it was! I think I am going to have another go tomorrow night, but once I have mastered the art of light orbs I think that I could develop a project around them... so watch this space...

Here's a photograph of what successful light orbs look like:
