Ireland continued

This was my favourite place wen I went to Ireland, it's a castle ruins on the edge of a beach and we found out very quickly that you have to leave at a specific time as when the tide comes in, the castle becomes an island. It's very different to England's ruins as this one has two stories, that you can climb up, as there are still some stairs. Plus there was nothing around it, if we were in england there would be health and safety all over it.

As you can see below the archways leading in and out of the little building were perfect to create a frame in the image. I love the top one, which is taken of my dad, as he just seems to be perfectly lit, with his left side and his clothes blending in with the stone then the right side of him being lit by the natural available light, highlighting his profile.

Ireland

So Last month I went back to Ireland, whenever I am there it feels like my hometown, I have been going since I can remember as my nanny lives there. So here are a few images from my film camera, which did brake half way through, but managed to fix it. Need a more reliable camera..
These are the images I took with my orange filter, got it for like 50p at a car boot so had to try it out. Honestly didn't think they would come out like this, but I like it. Obvouisly because they all look like a set of images, as they are the same tone. I do prefer the images with a bit of colour, including the bottom image of the biggest mammoth in the world, also because of the red strip of light on the left. 
I have more images on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/uniqueformofart/

 

 

Double Exposure

I have always loved double exposure, these are two images from a series of images I call Hidden where I experimented with different ways of hiding the model's face. As I recently finished my first year of uni I wanted to use the darkroom while I still could and just experiment with all the negatives I had gained over the course.

New Day, New Mistakes

 

I'm not really too sure what I did to these images, but I kind of like it. My best work is sadly mostly mistakes that worked out well.

Don't look

So these were my final pieces for my final project to end my first year of uni, I did like them when I did them but the more I look at them the more I don't. They are exactly what I saw in my head when I imagined my next shoot to show how I was feeling, but it keeps changing.

New Project: Trails

A new project that I have began is something i've called Trails, it was inspired by the work of Richard Long and the theory of intervention in photography. I don't have much at the moment, just the images from a walk I took, letting my dog decide the paths we took,  and every time we went down a new trail I took a image. Here a few I took, but all can be seen on my Flickr or My Website.

Through the trees

This is an image I took when I went home, I loved the way the sun hit the water drops on the trees, it was beautiful. Also was nice for see sun for pretty much the first time this year.
Can't wait to to go home tonight, see my family and all my friends from home. Everyone have a great easter.

Hair

This shoot is still in keeping with my theme of hidden, but also exploring my new idea of feeling invisible, how people try to hide from the world by ways of using their hair and hands. So of course I had to use a model with a lot of hair.

Lomokino

I finally had a go at my Lomokino that I got for christmas quite a while ago. I still need to scan in the negatives to make a film but here are some test photos I printed to check the exposure was correct.

Woman in Black

On my theme of Hidden I wanted to experiment with a veil and hair, I didn't really mean it to look this creepy, like it's out of a horror movie, but I did chose black and white film. It's the first time I've used my new medium format camera, and developed the 120 film myself.
