I not sure whether the photographer Tim walker has anything to do with this production,or whether someone has just got inspired by his style of work, it defently feels that way,I  have defently been inspired by his photography in the present pasted.I love this advert just for the pure creativaty of it! and It defo carrys on with the new romantic theme.I Love it!

Irving Penn,twelve beauties,the top models of the forties,1947.


This image will always impire me to keep being a photographer,It is so beautifully lite and captured,I never get sick of seeing this image even though it was taken in the 40's i am still so in love with it!

for the love of ...Tim Walker,fashion photographer,inspiration:

Sadly it would not let me copy and paste the images I liked of his from his website to here.but this is the main album I like from his website so you can get a ruff idea of the type of work he does.

I also love this first image from this portaits section.

 

I love the way he mixes together props and fashion together to create this over the top exzagerations ,that are all rather fairytale like.

experimentel still life:

Here is a section of still life images ive shoot each one in an experimental way to see what type of props and lighting can be shown in different ways to experiment with.

These two images where imspired by a old new look magazine ,they shot there images in what looked like an  over grown corn meadow and I really liked the end shoots i decided to try it out for myself ..having to live in the outskits of peckham though it seem hard to find an over grown corn field so I decided to head down to the local park and try out a shot down there . I am happy with my results !
They are both shot in digital using natural sunlight and reflectors.


shot in film,canon AE1.Natrual lighting,I decided to capture this image because I like the way it was compoused all together and beacuse it made me realise that thought everyone seems to have gone gagget mad,old beaut things are still out there and that thought there are new things out there theres still nothing wrong with the old school things people still have around there homes.


shot in digital.stlyed and photographed by me,following summer 2010 fashion.lighting natural.

styled,photographed by myslef with nature sunlight and reflectors,I loved these shoes that my house mate has and the way she has customised them to her own style! brilliant idea for shoe lases!!
 
 
I was just working with the idea of mixing around differnt types of jewlerey with differnt types of still life objects,to see if the aspects would work together,and also to mix the consepts together to see if I could make the jewlery look anymore cuter or more expensive then it already is.Im mostly happy with this image,the consept,style and lighting!

my chickens

This this my chickens,we keep them in our back garden in a lovely open space,For my final piece I decided to do a selection of images that refelect my thought on what where the best things about being brought up in the countryside,One of the things I remember capturing is my love for how everyone seems very keen on growing there own live stock,vegtables and friut,this is why I decided to capture my chickens and why my collection at the end of year show for ABC diploma in Photography was titled "A collection from the countryside!".
 I love this image for the way my chickens have natually created this spiral between them and the general impact it seems to display.

Here it is:

My pretty in pinks!

shot in amature lighting,on my cannon Ae1 film camera,with use of reflectors,
I decided to experiment with different backgrounds go get the feel and style of the image,just as I would have like it to be! im happy with my results and even happier that it is shot in film not digital,just shows good images can be created by usung film cameras!
I would like to do more work like this,such as doing styling for weddings,using props from different settings ect!

autumn...

A little shoot at autumn.....
I think the changes inbetween each sessons are absolutely beautiful..the way the lighting changes from dark to light,the different colours in the leaves and surroundings,the differnet smells the seasons that change from time to time....I feel this is so beautiful and it well just asked to be photographed. For me it is pure inspiration and I hope you see it in the same inspiratinal way I do .
shot on oxford canal walk.
shot on lock well dam,devon.
shot in christchurch,southbourne beach,bournemouth.

shot on oxfords canal walk.

shot on highcliff beach,bournemouth,
These are all shoot in film on my canon AE1 I decided to photograph these all with film because I find the grain gets captured more beautifully this way.

sunshinne in summer time...


Summer time is gnarly as,I love it not neccessirly for the weather,but because of  the things I relate it to, with summer,making homemade lemonade with fresh lemons,that feeling of complete freedom,never ending days and afternoons,relaxing on a beach and running thought the warm sea waves!,camping,festivals and carnivals,the smells of bbq's and fresh cut grass.the amount you can shoot with just natural lighting and the way your camera picks up the different amount of sunrays captured only by your photographs!
Yes different sessons should defently be celebrated,these are some of my frav images ive captured from this last summer just gone:
My very first jug of homemade lemonade ive ever made! I love experimenting within food photography,seeing what items go well together,and telling a lovely story though the props i choose to use with them!
I love the way the differnt colours come thought on this image:I love cornwall in the summer time!
This is my neighbours garden : i love overgrown gardens,and the way that something can be so beautiful, when you least expect it!
Another form my neighbours garden: i just had to photograph it! i love to find these bluebells in all its overgrowness!!
This image is captured in hyde park in london!to me i had to take this shoot because it sceamed out summer time to me! I love how the sunshinne is coming though the trees and the differnet colours of the grass where the sunshine has caught diffenent bits of it!


Summer for my family,and being lucky enough to live near the sea side ,is all about that race to the seaside as soon as the sun shines! Alot of people always seem to have the same idea,this image to me captures the old school excitement of being able to go on a day trip and spend it sunbathing and eating fish and chips on the beach.
Experimental shoot,using photoshop as to frame it.I really wunted to capture it ,with a large amount of grain.And also the idea of photographing food in different areas /backgrouds.

Christchurch harbour! it is said that some images are made from the way you can capture natural or graphic patterns with in  your images,and that is why some images are move easier of tranalising to look at .This is exactually how i think this image works thought the half semi-circle that leads from the swan round into the harbour! To me it is like the swan is going to take this partway though the sea!

Summer time to me,anyways makes me think of freedom,I caught this little boy in the wide sealand and he reminded me just of that feeling of freedom in the summertime.
I love the way he is both soo tiny but also makes this image come together,and the contrast between him,the sea,the sand and those rocky seaweedy harsh rocks!

I hope you liked looking at these images on this page! Feel free to ask any questions you wish to do so on my images!
