Well I've gone and done it.

I set up a blog until my website is up again, at the moment it is just a blogger blog linked back to my flicker account. I like this, it allows me to combine all my uploading into a nice, easy package.

Earlier this week I went out and purchased a Nikon F100, as well as a Sigma 300mm f/4 APO lens. So we're going to be seeing a lot more street portraits and general photography done on film. I will be keeping deviantart updated sparingly, so check out the blog if you want to stay up to date

Peace

P.S. I was reluctant to return to DeviantArt, but it seems as though this new Critique feature may go a long way towards ousting all the kids who think this is myspace. I look forward to seeing how the feature will aid artists looking for constructive critisism.

Hey duders, long time since I've posted in here?

I've quit the day job and am now putting all effort into my photography, I'll be picking up a casual job to get me by until I turn pro. That is, until I am earning enough from my photographic work to live off it.

These days I am shooting with a Nikon D80, a Nikon FM10 and a Mamiya 645 1000s. You can expect me to be getting a lot more personal with my street photography, as well as covering events and working with models. I am comfertable shooting with medium-format cameras now, so lets hope I catch a break and slip into the world of professional photography with ease.

Watch this space over the coming months, I'm ready to blow some minds.

I'd rather strut

So I went out today, not to take good pictures, but instead to do the opposite, what do you see strolling around the streets of your city? Perhaps it's not as boring as I think if I stop to take a look around once in a while.

So today, with no real purpose I took out my camera and a filter I thought would best suit the mood of the day. A rose-coloured lens maybe.

Check it out, work is titled in accordance with the time it was taken.







Peace ya'll, see yah next time.

teeny-boppers and Chris Brown.

Here is some flash new shit, fresh outta lightroom, mostly new street work with some smooth re-imaginings of an old photo.

Life has been pretty hectic, looking for a new job and all that jazz. Today I walked into Souh Bank and took photos of a "Doctor Who" episode in progress, I was promptly chased a way from the scene by set security. I still have some photos on film that need developing, I might post them up somewhere where fans of the show can check them. I won't be selling them to media outlets out of respect for the people involved with the show. I don't really want to be regarded as some some greedy pap faggot.

Here are some new photos from this week.







There is some 35mm shit on the way too, keep a lookout.

Peace ya'll, see yah next time.

Life

Happy new year.

Every new year I set out to achieve something, last year it was to seek direction and master the technical side of photography. This is done, now this year I am turning my eye to conceptual art and design. When I was younger illustration was something I was very interested in. Then came the age of high-end CGI and whatnot whilst I was around 10 years old.

I remember the remastered Star Wars and the original Jurassic park, I had this love for epic scenes. I loved the intricacy and emotion that could be captured in something so vast and busy.

Now I grew up in a family where I wasn't able to do certain things because my father thought them to be "faggy." So when I left school and home to begin my life and my hand at art I was at a severe disadvantage. I met a girl who was my exact opposite, in a family where her father nurtured and conditioned her talent. Just watching her for the past two years has helped delve down and pull up the courage to put my head down and master another art.

I've purchased a bunch of lectures from Gnomon. My plan is continue developing my digital matte painting and to master traditional illustration means as well. I have a set of milestones I'd like to reach over the course of the year. If I can learn photgraphy in a year, I'm damned sure I can put my head down and work a pen and pad to my bidding.

Here is the last matte painting I ever created, from 2 years ago. I never put much effort into them, they were more akin to speed-paintings than production-quality mattes.



My photographic work will continue flowing in, hopefully in series and not bits and pieces.
