Stripes.

This is one of my latest pieces of work for my photography course. My inspiration for this image was Antione D'Agata. He is a motion photographer who focuses on themes such as sex, drugs and mental state. At first this image was in colour but I decided to make it black and white because I believe it added more connotations to it. I want to take lots of portrait photographs and motion for my coursework because I believe it is what I am best at. I really like the contrast within this image. From the black and white, to Louise and the background. Personally this image has a lot of meanings. It reflects her mental state so it is not balanced. I like how you can see three faces within this image too rather than one big blurred on going right the way around. I have lots more photographs to come :)

Long time, no see!

Hey guys!
Lately I have been so busy with my college work and other stuff which is why I haven't posted like anything in the past few weeks. Basically my A2 coursework is coming along really well. I have developed a lot of my photographs and they are looking pretty good! Also last Friday (15/11/13) I went to Liverpool with college to visit the Tate Museum and we looked at the 'Art Turning Left Exhibition' which was really fun and useful. Whilst I was there I took a lot of digital photographs that I am rather proud of too! I will post them on here pretty soon (once I have edited them and what not). I will be buying my sketchbook soo too which means I can start to put everything together!

I have been looking at a few film camera's on the internet and I really like the look of the Miranda Camera's. They take excellent quality photographs and are really easy to use from what I have been told. 

Also I have been looking at the Lomography Fisheye Camera. I just think they look really cool to use, fun and cute! I have always wanted a camera with a Fisheye lens or just a camera that takes only fisheye photographs. I would really like a lens or a camera to add to my collection.

I will post my latest work on here very soon!
Bye!:)

Should of known better.

Me being me I have decided to once again leave college work until last minute. I have to write my contextual study essay for my project and hand it in tomorrow. There is a lot of work to be done but hopefully it all works out in the end. But yesterday in college me and my friend Jenny started developing our film images and some of them are beginning to look really good! My project is almost like mini diary of me. So when i went to Manchester a few weeks ago I took my film camera out with me. I took photographs on the train, at the station, walking down the street, in a cafe and so many more. A huge part of my project is social documentary photography and it is a lot of fun to do! I believe it is one of the best types of photography because it is when you get to see people in their natural state rather than posing and fixing themselves to get a nice photograph. I will post some of my images that I developed on here soon :)

Oh!

Also I am looking into buying the iPhone 5C in the next few months. My Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini has nothing wrong with it, it is just going a little bit slow, the camera quality isn't as good as the 5C and other reasons. I think if I get a phone with a better camera then I will be more likely to post photographs from my day to day life on Instagram and on here. Also the 5C is really cute!

The past week or so...

Hey! I know I haven't posted much on here in the past week or so but I have been working really hard on taking my photographs for both my photography and media course in college. I finally developed the photographs from my film camera that I used the other day and some of the results I am really happy with, others not so much. I lent the camera once again while we was off college and I have also been using an SLR camera. On Monday night me and Ryan went for a walk around where I grew up and took quite a few photographs in places which hold a lot of memories for me. One place we went was a little pond just round the corner from mine, me and my dad would go there when I was little to feed the ducks and swans and to just really spend time together. There is this other pond too which is about a fifteen minute walk from my house and it is were me and my friend Alice would go whenever I would go round hers every now and then. I was rather happy with the photographs I took and I will post some on here soon once all the editing and stuff has been done. Then the next day I went to my cousins house and spent some time with her because we don't get to see each other that much anymore because of college and other things. I thought it would be a good opportunity to take some photographs for my media work because part of my course is to produce three pieces of 'text' and connect them with my research. So I am making a album cover, a perfume advertisement poster and a clothing line advertisement billboard poster. We took some photographs of our day together but then she also modeled for me which helped me a lot because I had to take some portraits. So soon I will post on here the edited versions of my photographs and I can then show people my work :)

14/10/13

Today in my photography lesson I had to carry on researching for my project and find relevant artists/photographer who can influence my work. I also had to put together a presentation of all of my research I have found on a whole. Last Thursday I went to Manchester with college and took a film camera out with me (I lent it off college the Vivitar V3800N). I still need to develop my photographs in the dark room and I am really looking forward to see what the end result is like. I will post the results of them on here as soon as possible :)

Photography Lesson 9/10/13

Today in my photography lesson I have been doing more research into my A2 Photography project. The name of my project if People, Moments and Places. The idea of my projects is to show what people find important in their lives, how they respond to certain situations and the emotions they feel. I will be workings towards producing a series of photographs which follow certain people including myself. Where they enjoy spending their time and why, who they need in their life and how they feel emotionally day to day. I will be focusing mainly on portraits and landscapes because I believe I will be able to show my ideas through this type of photography best. I will be able to show my photography ability through this project by not only taking the photographs but editing them too. I want to add some text to my photographs to represent what I want to show through my photographs if it is not clear enough. So far I have found some really good photographers that are going to give me a lot of inspiration for my course. I am really looking forward to develop my ideas!
