Brands Hatch - Track Day

As part of my college Documentary brief i had to choose an event or theme to document. I was going to the Track Day event at Brands Hatch with my boyfriend and some friends anyway so i decided to document that.

The photographs were taken in black and white film and i processed and printed the film myself, the prints wernt amazing quality but once i scanned them in i edited them to make them look how they are supposed to.

These are a few of my final photographs that were my favourites from the day. I enjoyed my day and i enjoyed the fact of not knowing what photographs i had until i had processed them, some of the images that are below i didnt even realised i had captured that moment.

Whipsnade Zoo

So its been a while since i updated my blog and i felt it was about time to update it with what ive been doing recently.

In November my college class took a trip to Whipsnade Zoo, this is part of our documentary brief and we had to generally photograph the animals and the location.

I found going to the zoo made me feel like a little kid again, getting excited about the little penguins and how big the elephants are.

The whiteboard

FTWB w/HYPE WILLIAMS, a set by Al Harley on Flickr.

Sometimes during college research i get distracted going through websites to different sites. I found this guys flickr page and his work 'fuck the whiteboard'. It is such a cool idea! Taking a whiteboard and a camera out with you and getting people to write things on the board, absolutely anything. Some of the things people write and draw are so interesting and funny!
Would love to do this one day!

Curious Events

On Friday 28th October Curious Events organized a Halloween UV party at High Wycombe Academy. I was the hired photographer for the night and these are a few of the photographs from the night. It was such a good night and its really making me think more about getting into photographing events, it was extreamly tiring and ended up being a late night followed by a lot of editing the day after. I still enjoyed doing it and would definately do it again :)

The rest of the photographers are on the organizers facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Curious-Events/175035332564021

Lily's 18th

On saturday one of my best friends Lily was having a party for her 18th. I offered to photograph her party for her as i knew she would want photos of it and i wanted to try out some event photography.
I love the photos that came out of that night and so did Lily and everyone else at the party! Would definately be up for doing it again so if anyone needs a photographer for an event i would be happy to help out! all the photos from the night are on my facebook page -

Camera

Since i got a new lens today i felt it was about time to say, i have a collection of camera equipment and decided to take a photograph of it.

Canon 500d

18-55mm lens

55-250mm lens

Jessops 360 AFDC flash gun

Canon camera case

and the new addition of a Fixed 50mm lens f/1.8

tested out the new lens by photographing the box :)

Iphone

soo recently ive used my iphone while ive been out without my camera and i spot a photo oppotunity. iphone cameras are actually really good, considering i only have the 3gs and decided to share a few photos ive taken recently and edited in instagram. why not!

Fashion Water and Movement

For my fashion water and movement brief i had to create images that showed all three areas.
After my first idea not happening after trying to arrange it 2/3 times, i got my boyfriend and some friends to go outside on their skateboards/bmx's and do some tricks while i photograph.
Simple idea, but i am actually really pleased with the photos, i wanted to create something different and i think i managed that.

Black Park

Took a few photos on a trip to Black Park with Mike and Hetty, such a lovely place to walk around. Played around with Photoshop colours to give the cross process look to the images.

Self portraits

These are photos we took as part of a day brief at college based on expressing ourselves through our image. My friend Jodie took these photographs but i edited them myself and told her what i wanted to be in the photos.

Cars

I have decided that over this next year (my final year of college) i want to try out different types of photography and figure out what area i want to focus on. This lead to a conversation with my brother and organising a meet with all of his friends who own modified cars. After changing location a few times we discovered a building site that left the gate open and ended up taking a few in there before moving to another area.
