Last Sunday I photographed for the JL Dance & Swing Band at one of their showcase evenings where family, friends and members of the public are invited to listen to the band and dance along if they are so inclined! It was a really great evening and despite it being my first contact with show lighting it was thoroughly enjoyable. I took a heap of images but here are a few just to wet your appetite. Other images can be seen on the band’s website and will in the future be posted to my own new online portfolio.
This summer will be all about the personal projects!
I need to fall in love with photography again after the last few weeks. I also need to start on a portfolio of sorts. and begin to market myself -website, business cards that kinda thing. and make contacts. and the list goes on but I’ll stop.
It’s been a busy week for me, having three deadlines in two weeks means I’ve been constantly working but hopefully it’ll all be worth it in the end! Just printing my final images for my self-directed and cultures of Nature project.
I am becoming more and more interested in the concept of appropriation & have just come across this project by Willem Peoplier, go check it out.
“Over the course of three years, from 2009 - 2012, I frequently googled my name with Google Images. I collected every portrait that appeared in the results, as long as the picture was not made by me or if I was not in the picture myself. The result is a collection of 114 portraits depicting people who are Willem Popelier, according to Google Images as it searched the internet.
The randomness of these images is emphasized by clicking the Search button: a random image out of the database is shown as a result. This is Willem Popelier.”

Creative and quick self-portraits.
Very interesting quick video on a challenge to set-up, shoot and edit a self-portrait (in front of a full auditorium) I really liked all three of the final images from the participants David Hobby, Martin Prihoda, and Gregory Heisler and it shows how creative photography allows you to be. Simple ideas work just as well as complex ones, a reassuring fact for a student like myself!
Guildford Cathedral.
A little over a week ago myself and Chris ventured up to Guildford Cathedral on a particularly misty night to see what kind of images we could capture. We only spent about ten minutes on the site as it was very cold and even a little creepy in the fog! Chris tells me this Cathedral was where the parts of The Omen (1976) was filmed and so that added a little interest to an already stunning building!
As these images were just taken for fun and the challenge of misty conditions I decided to use them to play around with colour settings and see what kind of effects I could create. It appears I am going through a Purple phase!

Farnham Park.
Yesterday Lizy, Jake and I headed off to explore Farnham Park a little more than we have before. It was nice weather and I think we all needed a bit of fresh air and something other than coursework to do! I took my camera along just to keep me occupied and so here are a few shots of our mini adventure!
