I have just been putting my portfolio together for final submission for the photography side of my degree. This will include final images from my first year of study. I came across this image after completely dismissing it when the brief had finished - looking back on what I produced for my first piece of work I actually really like this one particular shot. The image is unedited and retouched.

Intimate Life... One More Time...

If you  read my previous posts Intimate Life and Intimate Life Continued you can read what this piece is about. I only needed a minimum of 5 images for this series but I got a bit carried away in the darkroom, and ended up doing 20... Here are the most recent prints.

Intimate Life Continued

So a previous post showed a current project I am working on to portray my grandparents everyday life. Read here to find out more about the project and see my first set off images. I spent a few hours today in the dark room developing a few more images for this sequence. Here are two scanning of two of my final prints:

Christmas Flashback

So, over the christmas holidays, me and a few of my best friends were at one of ours for some festive drinking. I didn't actually drink because I took my camera and don't trust myself with it under the influence! I've just found these photographs in a folder which I completely forgot about which I took that night. So serious!

Here's a few more relaxed, and slightly deranged ones from the night...

Intimate Life...

For a photography project we had to look at photography as a form of contemporary art. This was based around Charlotte Cotton's book, 'The Photograph as Contemporary Art'. From reading this book into the different styles of art photography, I chose intimate life and based this around my Grandparents. My Granddad has genetic disorder, Macular Degeneration which has a horrible effect on his sight. This has caused him to almost completely lose his vision. For this project I wanted to display their relationship, my Granddads dependance on my Grandmother and his optimistic strive for independence. There are a lot more images to be updated with as I managed to get through 4 36 exposure films in 6/7 hours with them. These are the first few that have all been processed in the darkroom and then scanned to the computer.

Denim

For this piece of work, I bought two denim jackets from a charity shop and customised and altered them to fit the model and the theme. The theme behind this shoot was to create a slogan for a Levi's based item mine was 'Levi's, Love Yourself and You Wont Need Anything Else'. The thinking behind this was all to do with body confidence, I used two different sized models, and they were photographed wearing the denim items alone, get it... Love yourself, and your Levi's is all you will need! So here are my favourite's from the shoot. They don't all work together as a sequence but I have just included the ones I liked individually.
