FINAL APPRAISAL

When I started back in September I didn’t really know what to expect- this would be my fifth year of photography in terms of education and up until this point, I had to self teach everything I knew. I was certain I wanted to network with many more creatives and branch outwards with the boundsContinue reading “FINAL APPRAISAL”

WHAT DOES VISIBILITY LOOK LIKE? So today I was apart of two online seminars from visiting artists, one of which being Haley Morris Cafiero, a contemporary artist deemed to be a strong provocator and performance based photographer.

ELLIE GRACE

FINE ARTIST I was asked by fine artist, Ellie Grace, if I could capture some specific reference images for an upcoming work of art she was producing.

SEVEN: RAYS OF GOLD

Today my little sister and I went for a walk as part of our one hour exercise and I thought I’d bring my camera for the ride to see what we could capture from finally being allowed out the house.

FIVE: THE ARTIFICIAL MUNDANE

For today, I wanted to capture aspects of my routine again, but this time making them extra posed and staged. I used a similar set up as day three, but this time focused more on where I wanted to be lit from and how. I wanted some slightly more dramatic lighting to really separate meContinue reading “FIVE: THE ARTIFICIAL MUNDANE”

FOUR: REVERB

For today’s shoot, I wanted to look deeper into the concept I explored yesterday but approached in a different way, as I would like to explore the use of mirrors to express control in terms of what is seen and what isn’t. In this, I used tried a whole host of new tripod set upsContinue reading “FOUR: REVERB”

THREE: SCRIPTED MONOTOMY

For today’s shoot, I had just gotten out of the shower and looked myself in the steamy mirror and wondered how I could make really staged photos out of my daily routine- so I started with the very basics and set up my camera in my bathroom, with my tripod propped up on my toilet,Continue reading “THREE: SCRIPTED MONOTOMY”
