A few from just over a year ago..

These were taken at Tynemouth market, and it's interesting to note my own improvements.  Much more thought put into framing and depth of field these days. 

Weightless

So this is my final image for my weightless project.  This particular module was fairly challenging, but I am happy with he eventual outcome.

Robert Mapplethorpe 'The Magic In The Muse'

Friday night I was pleased to attend the preview of the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition 'Magic In The Muse' at Bowes museum.  As expected, a glorious show of portraiture and a lot of food for thought.  Mapplethorpe is an artist I have long admired, and his use of tone, expression and framing is both unique to his work and full of impact.  I would recommend this exhibition to anyone. 

Also worth seeing as he magnificence of the Bowes itself. Particularly the world famous 'silver swan'..

A little lighting demo...

So my next project for my degree is 'weightless'.  I have many ideas for this concept, though the practicalities must be considered!  

In order to prepare for this, a lighting demo took place this week to give a little inspiration using a trampoline and lighting set up.  It seems the difficult task may be managing to get the right expression on the model given the situation...

35mm, The joy of.

I am recently shooting a lot more with vintage cameras in my spare time.  It makes a welcome break from digital, as well as creating varied results.  Anyway, here's one from my dabbles in lomography, taken with a cosmic symbol. 

Incident Room

Today was spent shooting for my project Incident Room. This was left fairly open and I made use of local public house the Town Wall, being given reign of the downstairs bar.  Very pleased with the results, and very thankful to my cast for doing me so proud!  This is one image from the shoot, virtually unedited, so many to follow!
