Deadline

Deadline for making strange today, will be presenting my work to my group. Feeling nervous about talking in front of everyone. Hopefully everthing goes well!!

Annie Leibovitz - Disney Dream Portraits

i have been looking at Annie Leibovitz work - Disney Dream Portraits. i find the images inspiring on how creative within camera and out of the camera in Photoshop they are, i am a big Disney fan and have loved the films they make so when i saw that Annie Leibovitz  had made some images on these film i find they do the films justice.

These are just a few from the series..

 This last one is a real favorite of mine as it show the wonder and craziness of Alice in wonderland. each photo show the base of the story and personalities of the celebrities within the image.

The new year

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas, and is looking forward to the new year, i know i am. great things to come i am going to London with Plymouth college of art, in January, will be visiting places like the V&A and the Tate modern gallery. I will be planning many trips to different places for photos that all of you will be able to hear about soon and i will be finishing my first year at the college and going into the second. I am going to make this year great and one to remember!!

Christmas

"It's true, Christmas can feel like a lot of work, particularly for mothers. But when you look back on all the Christmases in your life, you'll find you've created family traditions and lasting memories. Those memories, good and bad, are really what help to keep a family together over the long haul." - Caroline Kennedy 

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Update on 'Making strange'

Over the last couple of weeks i have been very busy making test prints for my project. when shooting film i have done some shots on digital just get an idea on what the films might look like. These i think went well, the theme for the project is body form and reflection. So the first photo shoot was just basic reflection with body form.

This is just one of many that i like from this shoot.

 

Thank you to Nicola Hanna for being my model.

Processing and Contact Sheets

So today was filled with doing contact sheets and processing, doing the contact sheets was good, I have done them before but never at Plymouth college of art. Whilst doing the contact sheets I realised that a few shoots I took for my making strange project were slightly under exposed but all in all the photos look good I am happy with the idea and composition of them. After seeing my progress I processed the new two rolls of film I took on Saturday, location with body form and reflection, and close ups of body forms with reflections. They processed nicely and came out well even if I did miss my bus home. Next step, contact sheets for the new negatives.

Progress

This weekend has been a busy one, yesterday I shot two rolls of black and white film 36 exposures, for my making strange project, Nikki the model was amazing she had to put up the cold and a little rain while we were outside doing semi-nude location shoots. Can't wait to process them, and do contact sheets.
And today was collecting names, of people who could help me with my personal best project.
