Fashion

I've decided to do location fashion and i've had my first shoot. It went pretty well but still need to do 1 or 2 more shoots.

Here are a couple of my shots from the shoot.

Seeing The World

I've now taken all of the images for my "Seeing the World" brief. I'm looking at the current decline of seaside towns and the project is based on the local town, Hornsea. I'm really pleased with the series of images as i think it definately portrays the message.

These are two photos from the series. I'm presenting the work as a book printed by Blurb.com, i'm really excited to see the final thing.

Building Bricks

For this assignment i chose to take pictures of my favourite abandoned building in Hull. As i'm a big fan of derelict photogaphy i thought this would be a good subject.

'Building Bricks'

Stupidly, i read the 'Building Bricks' mini assignment wrong. I thought we had to take photos of small sections of several buildings but then read the assignment just now and realised we have to take several photos of the same building.

Hopefully i'll be able to do this assignment tomorow as i have a building in mind to take photos of.

5 Second Portraits - Mini Assignment

This week we were given our second mini assignment to do. This time we have to do 2 at once, for the first i decided to do the 5 second portraits and i'm not sure which i'm going to do for the second assignment yet.

I decided to do 5 second portraits as i think it would really push me out of my comfort zone as approaching people in the street is something i've never done before. I found my first experience of this to actually be quite successful and beneficial. At first i found it really hard to approach people and ask them if i could take their photo but then i got into it and started to find it easier as my confidence grew. I found it hard at times when people would say no or get quite defensive and want to know why, but i just got over it and carried on.

Here are the five photos for this first mini assignment this week. I used a 50mm lens at f/4.5, ISO400.

Overall i came away with some photos that i was actually quite pleased with. I think it went quite well and i can definately see it being something that i do again and develop my own style a bit more.

Vanitas

So yesterday I handed in my Vanitas assignment. It was the first assignment for this year and was a short one at just 4 weeks long. Overall I was pretty pleased with what i handed in and my final images.

These are the final images i used and i'm fairly pleased with them.

So now it's onto my next two briefs. I need to get some ideas for them and get shooting.

Cycle City

For the short assignment I was given, I chose to do 'Cycle City'. While doing this assignment i found it quite hard finding interesting ways of shooting people riding bikes.

I decided to approach it in a different way and photograph fastened up bikes. I tried to take quite a simple approach but make the images interesting at the same time.

Here are my 5 photos for 'Cycle City';
