My Year

http://www.vogue.it/photovogue/en/MyPortfolio/

This week one of my FMP images got accepted onto vogue italia, I know its only a small achievement but it made me realise how far I have come with my photography and as a person.

Before going into this course I thought of photography as a hobby and even after leaving college I wouldn't get anything out of it. However after these past months I have come to understand that I was wrong. I think about photography 80% of the time and can't help to take pictures wherever I go without being forced to. I have always been a wall flower and never jumped right into anything, however with the help of a great tutor and some really understanding friends I am starting to realise what I can achieve if I just apply myself and have a bit of trust in myself and my work.

This year has really helped me for the better and I can't wait to see what the future brings.

New FMP Shoot

The second image works so much better for me! I feel as though I am getting better at taking these portraits already.

The next shoot will be after this weekend!

Arjan Benning

So I came across this photographer when going through my personal Tumblr account. One of my followers had reblogged some of his work with a model in black water and I instantly loved it. 

I went on to look at his website and found portraits of people in water! I wanted to try it straight away and thought it would be a perfect idea for my FMP all I need now though, is a concept. I own none of these pictures below they are just to show what I was trying to achieve from the shoot I done the other day.

these are all done in landscape however as I only have a bath to work with min will be shot in portrait. another problem I can see arising is not enough people that I can photograph for the project. 

A Developing FMP Idea

So this is a shot that I was happiest with from todays shoot. Mostly because my camera lense is playing up and doesn't focus right. However I did do a couple of shots on a disposable camera, which is on the verge of falling to pieces as I tried to do a double exposure with it today, which involves smashing the camera around a bit. I also took some on a film camera and on a mobile phone.

I'm happy with how they're looking so far, the only problem I am going to run into is finding 12 people to photograph, and the concept of the idea which I still have to make out.
