Arkells..

Here are some images from my Arkells project last year which were disgarded, as they didn’t fit my brief. It pays too look back through old archives as you notice images that were not relevant previously! : )

Production Stills and Behind the Scenes

After shooting with Director, Paul Tanter for his new feature “He Who Dares”  I have become increasingly interested in the production of films, filmmaking and photography directing.

I saw this article a few days ago and the shots are pretty sweet for those interested in film.

Here is an interview I found from HUNGER TV talking with the amazing director, Mat Whitecross.

The Interview: Mat Whitecross

Some of you may not of heard of the big work he has done, but he directed the video for Coldplay’s “Paradise” shot in both London and South Africa.

Enjoy,

I have been looking at a lot of Sam Taylor-Wood’s work for my project recently, which reminded me of my love for this series of images.

Beautiful shots I am sure you will agree 🙂

Dazed & Confused Project.

I really enjoyed the Dazed and Confused project. Here are a few more from the project! Image Image

This project was based on youth culture. I spent a lot of time focusing on the pose, and the makeup and dress in these images. I wanted the lovely Gemz to look young and youthful.

Hope you enjoy looking at my images!

Simple and wonderful

Toby McFarland Pond’s photography is just mmmmm

That’s the only way I can describe it simply.

Here’s another photographer I’ve come across lately that I love to look at. Eliot Lee Hazel. These are the kind of pictures I fall head over heels for, and would happily plaster them all over my walls so I could stare at them all them time.

Has Instagram done us a favour?

…It has brought to light the issues of photo sharing sites using our pictures…

Any one have any thoughts on this?

Instagram angered many members, who use its app to share and apply retro filters to smartphone pictures, by amending its terms and conditions to give it “perpetual” rights to the photographs that its users share on the website.

Steve McCurry on wordpress..

And if he is on here as a photographer, why shouldn’t we all be?

Steve McCurry, a professional photographer and author of several photography books, shares his reasons for why he blogs on WordPress.com. His iconic photo, Afghan Girl, graced the cover of National Geographic and was named one of the 100 Best Pictures of the magazine. McCurry has been recognized with some of the most prestigious awards in the industry, including the Robert Capa Gold Medal, National Press Photographers Award, and an unprecedented four first prize awards from the World Press Photo contest, to name a few.

Steve Mccurry’s blog

You are a world-famous photographer. Why do you blog?

Steve: Who would even dream 20 years ago that we would even have the internet? Clearly the internet is changing the landscape of publishing, news, and entertainment. There are countless channels on television, infinite content on the internet, and stimuli literally everywhere we turn. . . . There is so much competition. My blog is just my way of introducing my work through this new media.

What advice would you give budding photographers on building their web presence?

Steve: If you want to be a photographer, you have to photograph. If you look at the photographers whose work we admire, they’ve found a particular place or a subject, dug deep into it, and carved out something that’s become special. And that takes a lot of time and a lot of work — that’s not for everyone. Regardless of how successful you are, it’s important for you to spend your time photographing things that matter to you. You need to understand the things that have meaning to you, and not what others think is important for you. Having a blog is one of the easiest ways for your to get your work out to a wide audience.

A gleeful pillow fight in a hotel room…

..and access to Michael Jacksons bedroom.

Harry Benson has without a doubt had an absolutely amazing career, and will continue to do so as long as he has a camera in his hand. I’m amazed at how little people have actually heard of him but have seen his iconic images. He has photographed every U.S president from Eisenhower to Barack Obama; was just feet away from Bobby Kennedy the night he was assassinated; in the room with Richard Nixon when he resigned; on the Meredith march with Martin Luther King, jr.; was there when the Berlin Wall went up and went it came down… Who wouldn’t want his career?!
