Outtakes




GUYS I'VE STARTED A 52 WEEK PROJECT. It's a group thing, and there's a theme for each week, this week was 'Camera'. You can see what everyone else makes here letsgetcreative2014.tumblr.com/ I'll be uploading it all to my flickr, facebook and tumblr and possible some more outtakes from the shoots on my blog here. I'll also still be doing work alongside this project that I'll still be uploading too.

Hope you're well and happy belated new year!

animal faces

For an art project for college. Looking at the work of Ralph Eugene Meatyard.

burning

Printed this off 6 times and burnt each one to a varying level of degree and composed as a series of images. It was for a black and white project for college.

Olympus Trip 35.

Just some simple self portraits really, something I don't often do. I have lots more ideas etc I want to shoot, hopefully I'll be able to find the time, have been pretty busy with college and work lately.

vintage suitcases

Got these cool looking suitcases at a car boot sale a few months back.

I must have looked so odd walking through the fields outside our house with 3 suitcases and various camera gear. It probably looked like I was running away... which is strange because I swear I have had that dream before aha.

Inspired by the awesome Kyle Thompson.

looking through time

My grandad gave me this old Leica camera a few years ago - it's a real beaut. I think he bought from someone during the second world war, so it sure is pretty old! I haven't actually tried to take any pictures with it yet, I wonder if it still works.

Inspired by Joel Robison.

'invisible'

Last week I uploaded this image to all the regular art sharing websites I use (deviantART, flickr, tumblr, facebook, 500px) and I just CANNOT believe the response it has gotten. It was on the front page of websites like Reddit, Tickld, Imgur so so many people would have seen it I was just not expecting this to happen at all, it's all very exciting! It now has over 114k notes on tumblr - normally my posts on tumblr get 10-20 notes so this is just just incredible that this amount of people have liked my work and are re-blogging it! So thank you internet for liking my picture and sharing it IT MEANS SO MUCH! <3 x

digital overlays

Inspired by Matt Wisniewski.
I've been doing some multiple exposure effect type images lately for part of an art project for college. Been using some of my old images to make some digital collages in photoshop using overlays.

MY BABIES

I've had this idea in my head for a while, but couldn't really do it without two DLSR bodies (one to actually take the picture and one to hold). However since my D5100 broke (it was faulty) Amazon sent me a new one this morning, so now I have have two! I have to send back the broken one soon so didn't have long to get this shoot done.

The camera I'm holding is the broken one (so tragic).

It's pretty much what I pictured in my mind so I'm pleased.

mirrors

I took these photos about a month ago, with an old mirror my aunty gave me, I thought I had to use it for some pictures. I've been shooting a lot more conceptual/ portraits lately and can't wait to show you. EEK
