Personal Notebook and Photographic Journal
It was less jarring than I'd imagined, heading from a funeral to a birthday party. We left the wake in reasonably good spirits, which I suppose is a testament to the attitudes of those who attended. I used to photograph a lot in nightclubs and bars whenever I went out with friends during my time... Continue Reading →
Today I attended the funeral of my former Tutor and Course Leader for BA Advertising at LCC.When I learned about her death a week or so ago my first thought was selfish; I regretted not having taken her portrait when I had the chance. She had such a story in her face, and such vibrancy... Continue Reading →
I had planned to spend today photographing along Story Street in Islington, as well as visiting Union Chapel to try and use the early morning light rays in the beautiful church. Instead I found myself at Fenchurch Street eating a pasty and waiting for the train to Southend-on-Sea. The journey was uneventful, although when we... Continue Reading →
I have lived in central London since 2013 when I moved to university halls in Southwark. Anyone who has known me since then knows that although I spent a good amount of time exploring the city I never really took full advantage of what was on offer. It wasn't until the last year of university... Continue Reading →
I brought my camera to work today hoping to photograph at the British Museum when the light was right. The last time I did this I had brought my 90, which was too long to capture the scale, and I was annoyed when I realised that the 35 I brought this time was too wide.... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I spent the day walking around practicing street photography for the first time in a while with my standard kit, rather than one-camera-one-lens as I tend to do. This was because the last time I attempted this area I felt limited by my telephoto 90mm, and I wanted a more diverse approach. I had... Continue Reading →
I've recently had a lot of time on my hands to dedicate to street photography. I've taken on more hours this month at my retail job while the owner is away on holiday, which means I have had less time for commercial clients. Aside from a model this Sunday, and a meetup with UK Shooters... Continue Reading →
Today was Alicia's first day at her new job. She finished early, and was near enough to cycle to Camden for some impromptu wandering and street photography. The light was very fickle, and we had difficulty in lining anything up that didn't rely on very specific compositions. The weather went from raining to sunshine, to... Continue Reading →
Aside from visiting Michael on his birthday in the summer a few years ago I've never really spent much time in Tottenham Hale. I've always associated it with being quite north (for London), and therefore beyond my effort /s. The weather was nice, so we made our way along their stretch of the canal. The... Continue Reading →
