Double exposure test shoot 1

So the second of my projects is loosely based on the connection that people feel to a certain location. I want to combine portraiture with landscapes in a visually interesting way. As my photoshop skills are continually growing I thought that this project would be a good way of combining post production skills as well as my composition and photography skills. The 3 layered images were created 'In camera' using software built into a Nikon D90, and by using an image of a subject with a brightly lit background the landscape can take over the subjects portrait to create an interesting image.

Shadows in Fashion Photography

So its my final year at Uni and everything is happening all at once, I have to complete 2 projects (with full research) and my whole dissertation by the Christmas holidays. Eep. This first project is a studio based shoot which explores the human body and form with the use of unique studio lighting, its about creating interesting poses with the model and trying out different compositions of the lighting and the subject.

For this project I will be using a Digital Medium format camera (whilst I still have use of the uni's equipment) and will be collaborating with a stylist to ensure the model is dressed and styled correctly.

This is the first of the shoots, testing out different shadows and poses with the model:

Trip to London

So with my third year at uni starting off with a rush (i'll post some stuff about my on going projects soon) i decided to take a trip down to London with my boyfriend for the weekend.. as i've never been before it seemed silly to live in England for 3 years and never see the capital.

I was surprised how easy it was to walk around through the area.. and staying at the Grand on Trafalgar Square was amazing! There was a military parade on the sunday morning which was moving to watch and the sun stayed out (for most) of the day!

Shadows in Reflection; the next step

When I was looking at a video of Rihanna for her song called 'You Da One' which was heavily influenced by Solve Sundsbo's work, and there was a shot where they duplicated her image in the single frame, I wanted to try and do something similar and I stumbled upon a pretty cool idea for these images... why not make them look as if they are part of a Kaleidoscope, by reflecting the image onto itself. There are still a couple of kinks and ways that this project could evolve.
