Here is a few I have just uploaded. Only small version so I dont take up too much space but hope you like. I will write about them as much as I can.


The first lot is images I did late 2008/early 2009. The theme was meant to be surrealism i wanted to do movement, but ive it an old look like an old movie. But I also wanted a black and white image with the hint of colour so I researched the movie "Shindlerlist" it's about the holocaust and it's a black and white film but the only colour in the movie is a little girl with a red coat. So I decided I wanted to have a female model. But as i changed the image to black and white, i errased the black and white over the shirt showing the colour. But it was a blue shirt, so I had to edit the image further to make it red. As I said these are like my first images I did "professionally" so they arn't amazing.

Next set is something we had to do about us. About our personality... I did 3 things. How I think about my self, what objects mean most to me during an average day life and what other people think about me. Once again they are black and white.

This one was what I thought about my self and how I felt about my own identity. At the time I had no idea, I personally didn't feel happy about my self, and I didn't know what to think. So you can see a question mark on my face and my facial expression and lighting I think gives it a bit of a dramatic feel to the image.

This Image, as I said gathered objects that I use every day life on a average day. The MP3 give my own personality symbolising my style of music giving me my own personality, my bus pass, and my mobile phone with a text.

Third one was about how other people thought about me. I went around to all my friends and asked them to describe me in one word. After I wrote down the words i just got a simple image of me sitting down (i look so uncomfortable in the image lol) and in the background you can see writting on the wall. On photoshop i edited the writting into the wall to make it look like graffiti on the wall. But the graffiti is all the words that I got from people.


Next set is about buildings.

This image with the bombed out church I thought was pretty decent for the fact it was all historical dating back to world war 2. On my final image I got a quote by winston churchill talking about the plymouth bombings and how running away wont win the war. I copied a little bit of the quote and stuck it in the image. Sadly on this image i dont have it but I think the image alone looks amazing. lol. And the other image I just wanted to take a picture of a modern building in a different way.

Now this is just some random landscape photography.

Thats it for now... Hope it isn't too rubbish and boring for you lol

I ADORE THEM!!! Really! They're very artistic and I like the way you pass on messages through your photographs...

About the first set, I love the combination of black and white with another color, I use that a lot too!

I like the second set for the reason I mentioned above, the messages they give.. Especially on "what other people think about you" pic. I think it's very original, and don't worry: the fact that you look uncomfortable is what makes it perfect, because many people worry about what other people think..

The third set. Hmmmm, I don't really like buildings pictures, but I really like the aspect you gave on the modern building and the black&white combination with old church fits great.

About the landscapes, I LOVE the long one and the waters... The colors are amazing, I certainly hope these are the real thing and you didn't edit anything...

You are a very talented photographer, here is my essay about your greatness and I can't wait to see more from you.

END. LOL.

I try not to edit the image much at all. But due to being on a photography course and most photography these days is digital. There is also some sort of editing... I've got a few more on the way, a fake wedding shoot lol.

But thanks, means a lot. Deffinetly when you teachers are like "oh this could be better" "oh no you should of done that it looks horrible" "I dont like it" kind of gets annoying after a while! :vlol:

Wedding shoot, tad editing. (brightened)

I'm not really into wedding pics, but since you HAD to.... I like them, actually. They look like they were on a magazine or something.. Well, except the last one, which is by coincidence my favorite! :tehe: I love randomness

I've used Nikon D70's and Nikon D80's. It's what the college provides for us i have also used a pentax k100 film camera and a many others. I would share but that depends on how much you know about film photography otherwise what i say would just confuse the hell out of you. I remember when i had to learn about it i was like :cry: :omg: :eek:

And wedding photography is my least favourite, in fact i hate it. My dads friend was like "oh does your son want to do our wedding" and i was like "I dont care if he pays me for it i refuse to do it :idontthinksobetch: "
