A State of Flux

I must apologise as I’ve been rather quite in the past few weeks. Sadly this will likely be the case for the coming few as well. While I still have three images to shoot for the Final Major Project I have also begun test shoots for the next project too. The new project is more-or-less in its conceptualisation stage.

I have the concept fairly firmly set and a visual style in mind, however I have only three shots planned thus far. As well as this I want to have a solid set of new work to be able to present in one go as releasing things in small trickles has now not done me any favours as all of my various social media outlets are inconsistent. Once the new project is underway however I will unveil it and update everything accordingly.

So, basically I need to get my ideas down and shoot it all. Sunshine will be required too, I’ll say that much.

The End and Change

Today I submitted my work for my Final Major Project. The bulk of the series is now shot too

Today consisted of a trip to London to visit a few exhibitions. Namely, the Deutche Borse Photography Prize 2013 at The Photographers Gallery and a selection of the works of the master of botanical Photography, Karl Blossfeldt. 
The day was honestly brilliant with all too many great works being seen. If anything had to be a highlight, it was that many of the Blossfeldt photographs were original prints, some with various notation that Blossfeldt himself had written-on. 
As well as all of this whilst at the Photographers Gallery I of course couldn’t help but not visit their marvelous shop. From the shop I finally bought myself a roll of magic, A.K.A Revolog Rasp. Sadly they didn’t have any Kolor in stock, so instead I chose my second most desired Revolog film. I cannot wait to shoot it. I may do so over the weekend!

Introducing: Felix Speller

Fellow Photographer and friend, Felix Speller is something of a photographic all-rounder, and I in no way mean that in a negative sense. Felix has dabbled in everything from music promotion, to architecture, studio, portrait and now, Fine Art. 

Whilst my own Final Major Project is within the realm of Fine Art, Felix’s takes a different angle within the pathway. Peripherals explores beauty in the small things we tend to otherwise overlook. 

It is currently available to be viewed on his Tumblr as well as more up on his Flickr and website.

Overall, Felix is yet another brilliant creative individual that I have been able to work along-side at college. On top of this, whilst it is something that is a little outside of my nature, I would kindly ask if it you would possibly be able to cast a vote to help him out.

He has entered the EXPOSURE Competition, which is associated with Aperture Magazine. This will undoubtedly be a help to his own exposure, but the overall prize is even greater, with the chance to be able to have a solo show in New York City. His EXPOSURE page can be found here along with his submitted photograph, Peripherals Part IX. To be able to cast a vote you must first however sign up, although it is incredibly simple and takes less than a minute.

I was so incredibly pleased to finally get this shot. In truth, I hadn’t even planned to do it this evening, or even at that location. I was actually doing a test for a shoot that will be happening later in the week when I came across this spot.
As soon as I saw it I was drawn to it. The atmosphere and feel of the location was the exact same as I had originally intended, although the lighting far different.
Still, I’m overjoyed to have gotten it and considering completing the set I had envisioned this to be a part of. Maybe I’ll let it be a long-term project.
