Another Glimpse At My Stuff ..





This was a more recent set of photographs which I thoroughly enjoyed. I have taken Emma's picture a few times now & it has a habit of being fun and ending in good results. For these photo's we just wanted something different, not moody and dark, but colourful and filled with fun attitude. Emma had introduced me to Tim Walker which I loved. The colours, the fairytale-ness of the whole image he creates. The fact he never edits anything has been a huge influence to me and I wanted to do as little editing on these shots as possible. So Emma brought Mr Walker to the table, on my side I wanted the attitude and sex appeal that Ellen Von Unwerth brings to her shots mixed with bright colours & a busy location. I loved the final results as soon as I saw them and just boosted my belief that I want to get better with film, as doing these images with digital just doesn't seem to do them justice. The final image was my first try at medium format.

ink tattoos body art




As I mentioned, Barca re-hit the 'ink' nerve and my love for body art. Always been a big fan of tattoo-ing and had it in my head as many people do that 'one day I will get one'. I saw some incredible designs over there on the beach and so have been searching images and watching good old LA Ink & London Ink on youtube ever since I got home! Got to say Josh Beech has a lot to blame for this! He made a huge change in direction as far as modelling goes over the last few years being the main male model to be very popular thats covered in tattoo's, bringing back that rockstar image. & obviously Mr Beckham with his sleeves, Travis Barker with pretty much every inch covered (perhaps tad excessive but gotta love him!) So here's a few of my favourite images as I do my research..

Barca





Just got back from a little trip over to Barcelona. Wasn't quite the photographical holiday I had hoped for being a jam-packed four days but I did get a couple of nice shots. Didn't realise it was like a Mecca for skaters all over Europe which was cool to see & being on the beach rekindled my love for body ink. I do love that city, from the Gaudi House to Gardens, Beach to Bars it's all jaw dropping.
