Looking through the Mirror. 5th August.

Just a quick little experimental edit today.. it's half a self portrait, sometimes I wish I could escape back to big city life as it seems so much more vibrant than life in my quiet little town. But I have to remember that living in small towns can help me focus on small details which I would not have time to notice in a large buzzing city. 

Also, well done Ussain Bolt, he is such a fast man! Hoping to get to the Paralympics or the Olympics some time this summer as it would be such a great atmosphere to photograph.

Gaffa Tape Gallery. 27th January. (And why I love mobile phone photography)

I was with a few fellow photographers today and we were all doing a little task, after watching an hour long documentary we took screen shots of moments which would work well in a photographic documentary for the same subject. This morning we all met up and stuck up our photos in the sequence we believed was most effective, we critiqued each other's sequences. It was a great task to do to improve portfolio/photo documentary editing. 

I am also quite a big fan of mobile phone photography, it's a camera which you can take everywhere with you. There are so many things I have captured on my phone, it's a notebook (documenting shoot locations), a photo album (friends and family), and a journal (documenting ideas!). Major news companies now use mobile phone photographs to document news stories, the camera phone is a piece of equipment which can make everyone a photojournalist, a truly important historical invention.

Inverted. 21st January.

I've recently became quite interested in experimenting with digital processing to produce photo-based graphic art. I found a flower this morning and photographed it, and then I processed it in Photoshop to achieve an effect very similar to what I used when I was experimenting with my Electric Landscape series. It's always quite fun to have a go in Photoshop to produce a unique image, but there is also quite a fine line between photography and graphic design...

A cup of tea. 17th January.

I had an experimental fashion shoot today, I'm trying to create a collection of really interesting and creative fashion photographs. It was a great initial shoot, I enjoyed it thoroughly (and I'm not even that much of a fashion photographer!), there are a few things I shall improve on in future shoots. I'm looking forward to expanding on this collection over the next few weeks, it is very exciting!

Positive and Negative Electric Landscapes.

I have decided to spice up my electric landscape project by working on it in Photoshop to produce some experimental and interesting looking photographs. I have combined two images together as a positive and a negative layer. It's always good to try something a little different. 

Abstract Lips. 18th December.

I decided to produce a little photo montage today, I saw a flower hair band and decided to photograph that and some lips and then do a little bit of photoshop work with them! I am not really an abstract photographer and never really use photoshop much, but I decided to be a little bit creative today!
