The Lucky Escape

Sanctuary

A Sanctuary is a place of refuge or protection. This piece of work invites you to explore the idea of sanctuary and think about your places of refuge. For me, the sea is my security, my confidant without judgement. Its ever changing nature brings life to the vastness in-front of me, inviting me into conversation with it. The calm and tranquil aesthetics of these images encourage you to get lost at sea, lost in your own thoughts.

These images represent the beginning of a life long project exploring the essence of the human spirit and its relationship with nature.

I left my heart in Berlin!

These images are a few from a series I produced about my trip to Berlin in March. We were only there for a few days but i fell in love with the place. I would definitely like to return in the near future! These images were taken in 'East Berlin' concentrating on the street art and decay of the buildings. This city has so much character and i don't think i saw a sad or moody face the entire time! Thumbs up to Berlin! 35mm 

Eros

Culture of Nature

These images are the finals from my latest project at uni. I photographed the models with my Zenza Bronica ETRSi and printed the images. I then laid the the foliage on top of the prints and re-photographed for the final images. My review went really well and i got positive feedback from fellow students... now waiting for the final mark!

Brilliant Mistakes

These images are the result of trying out my Kershaw Penguin for the first time and making a mistake in the film processing. I accidentally measured the amount of developer for 35mm instead of 120 and so while agitating the bubbles made an imprint across the photos. However i am pleased with the aesthetics achieved here, something i that would never happen if i tried! 

Constructed Realities: The Dream

Constructed Realities: Fictions

With this title i decided to base my studio project around a recurring dream i have had over the last year or so. I took the story out of its fictitious state and represented it in the reality of the studio. The sequence is constructed physically rather than mentally, unfortunately i couldn't get a smoke machine to show the fog surrounding the subjects.

This dream is set in a forrest or garden, with a very hazy atmosphere. Glimpsing through the mist there is a young girl who stands in the centre of this botanical scene holding a shining orb. The complexity of time is very apparent in these dreams, flicking back and forth, as if in confusion of reality. The numbers 0, 2, 9, 5, 6, 9 and 8 fly around the forrest, in some sort of dance. As she plays with this sphere, twirling it around her head and up in the air, a nymph enters the scene and takes it from the girl. Now the nymph is the centre of this escapade, and the girl is know-where to be seen. On occasions the girl has try to speak just before the nymph appears, however i cannot make out what is trying to be said... The rest of this dream is in silence.

11-5 Pub Time

"We'll have group A today, and group B can come back tomorrow"

"What shall we do today then guys?"

"Pub?"

"Pub"

"Yeah Pub sound good!"

Its a hard life being a student!

These are the first few shots I took on my new Zenza Bronica ETRSi, so glad to finally have my own.
