Filming Short Film for Creative Writer

I was approached by Cameron Cowen (AKA Ilya Azima), a creative writer who wanted me to help in making a short film to accompany the opening poem ‘ILIAD WYRM’ to his short story. I was ready to have a creative input and was excited by the aesthetic he wanted; “saturated colours, high noise, 70s style”.Continue reading “Filming Short Film for Creative Writer”

Don't Fear The Reaper BTS Photography

I was invited to be the behind the scenes photographer at a film student’s FMP for their Morecambe shoot, perhaps doubling my role up to be a runner as well. I love the premise for the film Don’t Fear the Reaper it is a love story with a fantasy element which really appeals to me.Continue reading “Don't Fear The Reaper BTS Photography”

DAVID BRANDON GEETING – PHOTOGRAPHER

Contemporary Photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. David Brandon Geeting presented and spoke about his work on Google Meet, as everyone is currently social distancing. I really like his unique and quirky style of photography. He mentioned only learning about work that he finds visually interesting, which I can agree with to an extent, but IContinue reading “DAVID BRANDON GEETING – PHOTOGRAPHER”

QUEER IDENTITY EXHIBITION

I submitted three photographs from a series I have been working on since summer 2019 to an open submission for ‘QUEER IDENTITY’. This exhibition was organised by Robyn Dewhurst (Level 6 Photography, Leader of LAU LGBT+ Society). Unfortunatley I missed out on putting up the exhibtion and opening night due to clashes with my tripContinue reading “QUEER IDENTITY EXHIBITION”

Headshots for Film Director

I collaborated with film student Izzy Pye to shoot her headshots for her personal professional practice and use on her social media accounts and website. Talked before the shoot and sketched out some ideas for a creative composition – more than just a standard portrait headshot. We shot in the rural part of a parkContinue reading “Headshots for Film Director”

BUDAPEST 2020

I was unbelievably excited to visit Budapest, Hungary, because I haven’t been to Eastern Europe before, or much of any of anywhere outside the UK for that matter. I love the idea of travelling, learning new things, experiencing new cultures and documenting my experience through photography. For years I’ve found myself envious of those travelContinue reading “BUDAPEST 2020”

Her photographs are quite sadContinue reading “HUNGARIAN HOUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY: Katharina Roters”

THE ROBERT CAPA CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER

THE PHOTOJOURNALIST ROBERT CAPA I recognised some of Robert Capa’s iconic photographs but had never known the name of the photographer. I find his photographs very moving and like a window to that moment in time, especially paired with the context of the time and place. His photographs put faces and emotions to the wartimesContinue reading “THE ROBERT CAPA CONTEMPORARY PHOTOGRAPHY CENTER”
