update

Ok.... so its been a long while since i last posted any images, so i thought i'd post a little blog on what i've been up to lately.
Well, college work has been chocka block as usuall. 
Most of the time i have 3 projects on the go at the same time. so it can be pretty hectic at times....   
One of the projects i've just finished working on was a photographer inspired studio portrait,  


Now the photographer that inspired me to do this shoot was Matthew Rolston.    it was a particular photoshoot he did for ANTM that i really liked...   i  really liked the angle that  he used for the shoot & wanted to re-create a similar styling.

However, I'm greatly inspired by the likes of Paul strand & SolveSundsbo who like to use shadows and light patterns in their  images. therefore  i had the idea of combining both styles to see what i could come up with. ,  

here's the outcome of the shoot...

I also used the 5"x4" camera to shoot a couple of polaroids & B&W Film, although i must admit that using the 5x4" camera itself was pretty challenging, however i'm pretty happy with the results. 

  

Hello Again.....

Oh dear!!,  it really has been a long time since my last post hasn't it?? .  so here's a little update on what's been happening since then.
Well,  for starters,  I  managed to complete the previous Photography  course i was on,  & actually came out with an A. Who'd have thought it was possible??... I  mean after studying Art & Design for more years than i can remember, Even then i never even got marks close to that!!...
Now, i'm currently undergoing a 2 year HND course in professional photography.  it's not easy and i have lots to learn. but i'm loving every minute of it. with each project i can see my skills gradually developing, and my Knowledge slowly gaining.  
also i've joined the Tumblr comunity which i LOVE!!. it has so many sources of inspiration for me & sometimes i can spend hours & hours looking at image after image. i will tend to re-blog ones that i like & inspire me, and previously have posted some of my own images.

My final Submission for the unit 2 Evidence of Human presence,

i decided to change one of the Images so that there would be a sense of ambience to the whole theme, as i think it works better by not having any information of the surrounding area,

Well..... Its been a while since i last updated,  so i  thought it was about time to give you's all a quick little update on what I've been up to.

So..,  recently I've been really busy recently working on Project deadlines & exam pieces, and  last week I went to Berlin on a study trip with the College,  

whilst I was there I was able take photos that i could use towards some of  the  projects,  

The 3 images below are part of my unit 2 Exam,  -   Evidence of human presence,  and are suppose to work together as a triptych. 

I'm still trying to decide whether to keep these as research or to use them for final submission..

Remembering how much I used to love these sweets when I was a kid.....
