Wedding Images -From working with John - Columbia Studios :)

The start of Uni....

And I am back!

I have been here for nearly two weeks now, or a week..nope, two weeks! It is nice to be back, we had nice weather to start off with and now rain :( not good for the hair, or clothes or anything really.

My timetable looks quite good, got quite alot of time off which meansssss MORE LIBRARY TIMES! I didn't actually think I would be doing this much work, but I am pratically living in the library :)
I do live about 3 minutes away so it is very convinient, currently I am looking through a Tim Walker book which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I have always liked his images, but the more research I do on him the more I fall in love with his photographs, and there arent't very many photographers that I adore!

His images are so dream like, and the lighting is very consistant in his work and I can look at his images for hours and not get bored :)

I got given a brief titled 'Narrative' and so far have NUMEROUS amounts of ideas that I cannot narrow it down...I have to before next week though, and I have one month to do this...
FAIL....I am not into that, usually we have til christmas time, so I better get my rollerskates on ;)

I can also ask my boss whether I can borrow some clothes and things for my shoots as long as I promise to bring them back in the same quality...I also think she may know of models since she has a website and everything advertising the clothes...
OH I AM EXCITED.
Work tomorrow, so more ideas time :)

The start of 'Narrative'

Our first project brief which will start in October is pretty open for interpretation.. The project title is 'Narrative'. I am thinking of doing something fashion/advertising....or incorporating both styles. The first thing I did was obviously look at the Thesaurus for similar words which I could use to look online as this was the first place I was at whilst looking at the brief. I did actually start looking at this project a couple of months ago, and had some research but OH WHERE FOR ART THOU? Anyways.... The first thing I thought was stories, fiction, sequential, detail, history, narration, plot (also I had a look in the thesaurus) I saw some lovely images Annie Leibovitz done for Vogue which was SEX AND THE CITY :)










Mr Big and Carrie's simple little New York 'fairytale'.
I personally think these images lack excitement, the colours are rather dull. I like the use of space in these images and the story like appearance.

OH THINKING TIME!

Im terrible

Forgetting to write and take photo's everyday, I knew it wouldn't last long, a lot has been happening lately...but its all calming down so I should have more time for photos!

I thought I would share some images that I found a few months ago and fell in love with a majority of his images...Graham Sheerer :)








I love it because its simply beautiful, natural, playful...the last image here of the two girls in the swim suits, i love the natural look here, their smiles, the way they are holding one another, a real sense of friendship and love, even if both models didn't know one another it doesn't seem it, thats why i like his images. A real sense of closeness and kindness comes across to me.

THINKKKINNNGGGGG

For some projects that I will be given in September for when I start second year, I want to be a little more prepared.

The Title is Narrative, and at first I was literally mind boggled, but after reading into it on google I have more of an understanding which is great!

I also have quite a lot of ideas running through my head, but I don't want to share until I get set this project, so you will have to wait ;)

I really cannot stop drinking this vintage cider, listening to some Artist VS Poet and trying to sort out a mini rota for the house because we all have to move out sometime in August and it has to have sooo much work done to it, even re-painting!

I will stop writing now, because I will go on and on, Have a nice evening...also, wish me luck - I have a job interview tomorrow!

Flickr Favourites

I decided to post the images that I have saved as favourites on Flickr, I don't know why really...just to remember really. I want to do a winter wonderland photoshoot soon - even though its summer ;)
