More from Saturdays shoot









A few more of Cyan Cheung in Léafric Designs. Absolutely loved this shoot - I have so many photos to go through and 3 films to have developed. Ohhh.

If I'm honest, some of the edits have been harder than others - I find portraits easier and often my camera captures those shots easier - the image is sharper, etc. also it;'s a portrait lens too, so you know (I need a new leeeeeennnns, ugh), but hopefully some of the full body shots on the film will come out.
I think the issue is probably having a good photo, but finding the overall composition not as "inspiring" as others, so it's a challenge to work with it against stonger edits. Also, as my friend Becca said (she asissted the shoot and also got some incredible photos from it!), what I prefer might not be what someone else does, so it's always hit and miss and good to have a second eye to run over your work.
Thank you, also for sll your amazing comments, I'm sorry I'm so bad at replying but I honestly read them all.
I dunno, but I'd loved working through these photos - expect more soon, probably!

I am light, I am light








Basically, more photos in the same spot in the same light. Inspired, right? Ha.


Fun, though, if you take out the nettle stings - but that's my own fault for crawling under barbed wire fences.

more self portraits!

So once again I took advantage of the gorgeous sunshine, and took some photos on the roof just outside of my bedroom.
I wouldn't necessarily call any of these photos very ~creative or original, but as a friend said (hello, Imogen!) taking photos of yourself enables you to learn an awful lot, and it seems a shame not to do this whilst the light and opportunity is about. Again, fun too!

These are the ones I have edited so far and probably the ones that came out the best.
Used PS7 for colour and contrast, and that's mostly all the edits that have been done aside from a few marks.

Also, thanks for the comments and support so far people!

Sunday lovely Sunday.

Feel free to laugh - my face looks weird and I ALWAYS seem to look like I'm frowning or cross, haha. So that's not intentional at all. I'll try to re-shape my eyebrwos at some point.
Oh, and cheap (ancient) lipstick? Fail too, but you know. That's what happens when Boots is closed on a Sunday and you fancy taking photos.

However, INSPIRE meet up inspired me to try and well..do more. I have no models and I need to practice at shooting bodies/faces, so I'm using myself.

I should get my remote this week too, which will make life easier. I'll work on more failtraits next week if we have some sun, in other words

ALSO. For £15 I got these -



10 rolls of expiried film from eBay. I'm not sure when they expired yet, but, it's ridiculously cheap so I'm happy with it. If anyone's interested in these I'll link you to the seller.
I'm excited!
