My Photography Facebook Page

I am a freelance photographer hoping to get my name out there and start selling my work eventually. I am studying a part time course in Visual Communications through the Open College of the Arts in Barnsley and therefore I am only doing photography as a hobby for now.

Here is my facebook photography page for you to have a look at:

Hopefully I can begin to expand my audience from here and begin to create a business with my work.. Well, that's the plan anyway!

AS Photography Exam Final Piece.

For my exam work I chose the subjects 'Splash' and 'Coloured Light' and from these I decided to work with water droplets as they are very unusual and different, and create amazing and unexpected shapes through the water. In this photograph I added dissolved syrup to the water and then dropped blackcurrant cordial into the water to create the blend of the red and the 'blue green' amongst each other; what really stands out in this photograph is the effect the red cordial has created on the droplet itself, with the interesting pattern around the small 'pot like' implosion in the surface of the water. The shadows throughout the ripples really help them to stand out as well as separate each one from the other effectively, I also really like the effect the blackcurrant cordial has made under the ripples as it merges throughout the water below where the droplet has fallen. 

I particularly like the very small red droplets that seem to have burst from the middle of the implosion of red, creating almost a splash of colour through the photograph and making it more unique and interesting to look at. 

Here are a few photographs I took leading up to this piece: 

AS Photography Coursework and Final Piece.

For my AS Photography coursework I was looking at 'Fashion Through the Ages' from 1920's right up to the present day. My photo shoot leading up to this final piece was incorporated the 50s, with the black dress that the girl is wearing and the 80s wight he bright light of the sun and the bright colours surrounding the girl including the pink flowers. The flowers in particular contrast well with the darker colours of the woodland as well as the black dress. I feel this piece portrays the real intensity of both eras and the 'uniqueness' of blending both together. I like how the girl is looking into the distance, creating a sense of mystery towards the photography as the audience doesn't know what she is actually looking at! 

Here are some of the photos from the photo shoot leading up to my final piece:
