Polaroid

I have recently taken the pictures for a music video by the Calm Project entitled 'Polaroid'.  I am really pleased with how these have turned out and the final video looks great. Iain has done a brilliant job editing it... took him over 5 hours... so a lots of swearing in between ;P But the finished article was well worth it I think.  Take a look :)

The Practice....

So I have to admit that I'm feeling rather frustrated at the moment, what with having no money and no job, but went out for a little walk this morning and took the Diana F+ for a test run, and it made me feel a bit better.  I havent a clue how these photographs are going to turn out.  It's amazing how unerving it is not being able to see the picture after it's taken.  I know that I havent had a digital camera forever... but it sure feels like it!  Im looking forward to getting the film developed though.  It will probably be terrible, but it's a  learning curve.  I'm trying different things everytime I take a picture, so at least I will be able to remember what I did and what kind of light I was standing in..... at least that's the idea :)

The Beginning....

Thanks to some wise words I have decided to write a blog about my progress as a photographer.


I have been taking photographs since I was a child. The fact that I could capture an image, a moment in time, has always amazed me.  It's only more recently however that I have been able to get myself some good cameras and actually have the faith in myself that I do actually have some talent, that my shots aren't all just pure luck, that I actually have a good eye for a photo.


I currently use a Fuji digital as my main camera as well as three Lomography camera's - a fish eye, a multi lens and the new addition to the family -a Diana F+ :)


Yesterday morning was a perfect example of the fact that I can see so many things in terms of a picture. When I see an image - I automatically see a photograph. As my boyfriend played with his nephew, I took a photograph of the toy cars. I really like this image, as it wasn't staged (see below) It was just a photo of something happening in the moment.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out. 

I hope that this blog will go some way to documenting my progress as a photographer :)


I have several other websites that will hopefully be of interest to you as I sell my images.
