Free Range Exhibition

I know it's a bit overdue, but I thought I'd write about what happened earlier this year, when I got to exhibit some of my work in London...

At the start of July, I exhibited some of my work as part of the Free Range Shows in the Old Truman Brewery in Whitechapel. Since my college was exhibiting our work on double-sided banners hanging from the ceiling, I decided to exhibit the final image from my Exhibition Project and my final images of Paul in his Captain America costume from my Portfolio Production Project.

Because I was getting a coach to London, I wasn't able to help setup or take down the work but I was at the opening night and kept an eye on the exhibits over the weekend. We had a brilliant spot in the Brewery and our work looked great. The exhibition was really popular and had a great turnout throughout the weekend and I really enjoyed the whole experience.

I also got to explore London with some of my friends and did a bit of Street Photography, which I've really missed doing and it was really fun doing it somewhere completely new to me.

Overall, I really enjoyed the exhibit and I'm really proud that I've exhibited some of my work in London. It also really motivated me to look at ways to develop my Cosplayer project and I'd really like to try and do some more environmental portraits. I might even try combing the two. 

What do you guys think? Let me know if you've any ideas.

The Riddler

Recently, I've been thinking about rebooting my Cosplayer photo series but as a personal project, rather than a college project and turning it into a photobook rather than handing it in to be marked by my tutors.

I've been looking through the shoots from my original project and I love my photos of Chris as The Riddler, as he really brought the character to life with his tense posture and manic facial expressions.

One idea I am consider is to shoot the series again but in a more natural environment like the model's house to add more of their personality to the shot. I've also considered making this a location project by shooting the models doing normal activities in their costumes but this would be quite tricky.

It's something I'm really interested in but I do think I need to think about it a bit more. So while I do that, I thought I'd share some of my favourite photos with you guys.

Let me know what you think and if you think I should continue or reboot this series. 

Cargo Creative Product Shoot

It's been a while since my last post so I thought I would catch everyone on what I've been doing. 

I've recently started the 3rd year of my Photography Degree at Newcastle College, which involves writing my dissertations, drafting a business plan and updating my portfolio.

Here's a sneak peak from my latest shoot, in which I shot some of Cargo Creative's printed merchandise, including these awesome notepads, which I got to keep as a thank you. 

This was a really fun and challenging shoot, as I don't normally shot products and it was a nice change from shooting portraits and the designers have agreed to help me design a professional logo and website.

I'll try to post more regularly about my work and keep everyone updated on what I am doing.
