Bookshelf. 29th February.

I am currently studying a part-time English course,  I was in the classroom today and I had my camera on me.. so while everyone was out on their break I had a little snap around the classroom. It's quite interesting, one wall is covered in Shakespeare posters, one wall is filled with large windows, another with an interactive whiteboard... and the final wall contains numerous cupboards and this book shelf. I find classrooms like this one quite interesting as they contain years of education, just this bookshelf contained an array of books from new publications to books around ten years old.

Street Harpist. 28th February 2012.

I was walking through Peterborough today and I saw this man on his harp, I do not think I have ever seen a busker playing a harp, he was quite interesting and I thought his character was something which deserved to be captured. 

Emmaus shoot 2. 27th February.

I visited the Emmaus Community in Cambridge for the second time today, it was a great visit as I was more familiar with the surroundings and the people there. I got to chat to a few of the guys who live there, I learnt a little bit about their stories and how they came to live at Emmaus. I'm going back next week to spend some time with the community in the Evening, they have a band practice and I am really looking forward to photographing that. 

This documentary is great and I am really enjoying working on it and starting it, I hope you are all looking forward to seeing it expand!

The Night Tree. 26th February.

I saw this tree tonight, this tree and other similar trees are lined down the drive of my church. I thought it's silver branches stood out from the dark sky, hence the photograph of it. I am off to Emmaus Cambridge tomorrow to shoot more for the documentary, this is quite exciting, so expect new work on it soon!

The Wood. 25th February.

I was out with my photographer friend Joanne Cream (http://joannecreamphotography.blogspot.com/) as we have a fashion shoot coming up and we were doing some location scouting for it. We came across this wooded area and it looked great! I will definitely be using it in the shoot.

In other news here are the photos from the street studio shoot I had yesterday:

I'm going to be shooting more for this project, so keep your eyes open and keep checking my facebook or flickr to see the updates.

The Street Studio. 24th February.

I was in peterborough today with a group of other photographers. We decided to set up a studio on the streets, we used the sun as our light source, a couple of photographic flags, a reflector and a camera (of course!). We spent about an hour on the streets asking people if we could take their portraits, it's quite surprising to see how many people are wary of you when you have initial eye contact with them. Quite a few people were up for having their portraits taken, it was quite and interesting excercise, definitely one which I shall try again!

Teddies. 23rd February.
