Greek Myths Project (Updated- Aphrodite)

As you may know I have been working on a project to recreate the myths of Ancient Greece as photographs. This is one of the final images I am working on based on the myth and paintings on "The Birth of Aphrodite"; the Goddess of Love and Beauty who was born from the sea. What do you think? Constructive feedback is always appreciated.

My Final Major Project; Greek Mythology (My Progress So Far)

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but everything has been very hectic recently. I have almost finished the Final Major Project of my Extended Diploma in Photography. For my project, I choose to create some images inspired by Greek Mythology and I have just started editing some of the Final Images from my first Final Shoot.

These are the first drafts of my final images showing Narcissus and Echo (the man who fell in love with his own reflection and the woman cursed to repeat the words other say, who loves him) and Pandora (the first woman; carved by the gods from clay as a curse to hinder mankind after they received the gift of fire from Prometheus. She is most well known for Pandora's Box, as she opened the box containing all of the curses and plagues of the modern world). As of now, these images are only early drafts and I would really appreciate some constructive criticism.

Graphics Students Headshots

Today I had another Studio Shoot sprung on me but this time it went really well and I really enjoyed shooting a class of Graphics Students for one student who wanted a series of headshots of his classmates. He is planning on editing a word over the portraits I shot that he uses to describe his classmates and I can't wait to see what he comes up with it, but for now here's a sneak peak from the shoot featuring the "boss" whose masterminding this project...



Babydoll Cosplay Shoot

Here are some of my favourite photos from my latest cosplay shoot with the lovely Kovie Kixx as Babydoll from Sucker Punch, taken 2 weeks ago around Newcastle Keep. Kovie is a brilliant model and cosplayer and I love working with her because I always get some great images and have a laugh taking them.

Macara in the Cafe

I'm trying to take some more photos just out of habit rather than focusing on shooting during shoots. So the other day when I was on my lunch break at college with Macara I took some interesting and funny candid shots of her from across the table and I thought I'd post a few.

Jess in the Studio

Just thought I'd post some pictures from my latest practice shoot in the studio. I took a handful of photos to try out this new mid-key lighting technique and I managed to get a nice photo of Jess even if she wasn't too happy about it.

What do you guys think of this photo of my mate Aran from College? I took it and then he edited it in one of latest studio sessions in college. Aran is a brilliant photographer and a not so bad model. He's just started his own Facebook page so follow the link, check him out and show him some love and support; https://www.facebook.com/www.AJWhalleyPhotography.co.uk
