Melissa

Here's a sneak peak of my shoot with Melissa in Granger Market last week, who looked lovely despite the the cold weather and I managed to get some great pictures including this one which is a lovely detailed shoot which focuses heavily on her eye. Hopefully I will be able to edit and upload the rest of the photos in the next week or so.

Raven

Here's a few pictures of Amy doing an excellent job of cosplay Raven around and under the High-Level Bridge in Newcastle. Amy also added to my Costume and Comics series reading Teen Titans and Trigon. Although she is a first time cosplayer who has never done a shoot before I think Amy did an excellent job modelling Raven; looking very serious and mysterious yet tough and heroic. I'm looking forward to developing my ideas with Amy/Raven and hopefully shooting with her again; perhaps in the studio, using PhotoShop to create the effects of her powers. Something I haven't tried before that would be an interesting and unusual challenge.

Profile Pictures

By Jonathon Keys and Anth Short

This is a first for me; posting someone else's photos but they are of me so I suppose that's alright. These were taken by two photographer I have worked with recently so I thought I would let you all enjoy my ugly mug on the wrong side of the mug.

Enviromental Portraits

This is the final image from my latest college project; Environmental Portraits. Environmental Portraits are all about photographing the subject in their natural environment to make them feel more relaxed and comfortable compared to how they would feel in a harsh and artificial studio. So I shoot my Dad in his office using a 50mm lens (which was my first attempt at using the lens as normally I use a 18-55, 55-200 and 18-24mm lenses) which I initial found tricky since I'm not used to a Manual focusing lens but quickly got used to it. I think this isn't a very photogenic photo but it shows a bit of action and a little insight into my Dad's job.

Coastline Final Images

These are the Final Images from my latest Coastline project that were taken in a Commercial style, however I am very disappointed with these images as I strayed too far from the brief, I tried to do to many ideas but I didn't stick to a good idea and develop it enough or understand what exactly I should be shooting so I had to quickly cobble together a group of images from what I had shoot. I love photography but I love to be the best I can be at photography. In this project I wasn't so I won't to get back to doing the best I can do.

Ice Cream

I know it's November but I am doing a unit called Coastline at College, so I immediately thought I should photography some fish and chips and ice cream, even thought it is very cold and miserable at the moment. I compensated for this by shooting an ice cream with the bright light and vibrant colors of a setting sun behind it. I am just working on the edits at the moment but I thought I would post a sneak peak for youse.

Charachters and Comics Series

Ok guys I need some help. I am working on an idea for a series of images called "Charachters and Comics" based on the idea of a model, dressed as a DC Comics character, posed reading a New 52 comic about there character. For the heroes I was going to use the white covered #0 issues and the villains the .1 issues. This is my first attempt using Harley Quinn but I would like your opinion on which one works the best. So please comment on your favorite of the 10 images shown below.
