New Images

Siouxsie and the Banshees is the driving force of all my creativity at the moment, so I thought as I sit here listening to them I might as well blog as I haven't done so in a while.

The images I just uploaded were taken for my 'Fujifilm Extreme Photography' Brief. The photos are from everywhere. There wasn't much planning done with these images I just needed to know where to look and who has mass collections I could ask to take pictures of. The most annoying thing about this shoot was the time I had, I knew what I wanted to do for these test shots but I had no subject. In the end I pulled it off by strolling around forests and council estates for inspiration.

For my final shoot I will still stick to the collecting theme that has been running through the whole of my brief. I have found the perfect place that holds all of my needs for the shoot, however I will have to wait until friday to actually do the shoot as it is hard to find time between college and college work etc.

Fuji Film

Here I have shown how the book reflected the mental state of Alice and how it implies that alice didn't visit wonderland at all. 

 And again I have recreated the famous tea party scene with just Alice pouring tea for no one. 

Here I have displayed the harsh reality of Alice realising that 'Wonder Land' isn't real. 

Text and Image Update

It's 2:35am and I'm still wide awake so I have decided to take this perfect opportunity to blog about what I have been up to. 

I have started the final shoot for my text and image. The shoot is inspired by Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carol. I will be recreating some of the most Iconic scenes from the novel. I will be adding my own twist to the scenes. The photographer that inspired me to take this route was David Lachapelle. I like his big sets and quirky images where not everything is what it seems. 

The text will be cut out from paper clippings, preferably from a news paper as I want the photo to seem childlike. I have also been inspired by the history of the novel itself and the accusations about how Lewis Carol was blinded by drugs while writing the book so I thought I would transfer an essence of desperation and anxiety into the image series.
