Levitation - Constance Moscrop


I shot this today near my home in Newcastle. It was in Chopwell Woods which is a woodlands park where dog walkers go and there are hiking trail and mountain bike tracks. This whole shoot was inspired by a contrast of life and death. Life being the white dress which goes with marriage. Then death is her pose as if she was lying in a coffin. I had her lay across my friends back for this photo then took him out in photoshop. I loved using the shallow depth of field with the 50mm 1.4 so all the focus was on her. The focus really fell off the subject quickly.

Portrait - Francesca Cotton




Today i went out with a close friend and shot some portraits to boost my portfolio and also fran's modelling portfolio. I love some of the shots. Also this was the first chance i had to use my new 50mm f1.4 on a portrait shoot and it performed flawlessly.

Live Brief Final

Today i shot some photos of Bethany Cowling. They were for my final shoot for the Live Brief we were set by photographer Daniel Marston. I was inspired by some fashion shots i saw, where they crop the head out of the photos and its only the torso. I found this to add a sexy feel to the photo. I really wanted a sexy and raunchy feel to my photo so i decided to incorporate this into my finals.





Ryan Lilburn Photography



I was approached by my friend to shoot some portraits of him for his blog. He wanted some playful photos. Really relaxed photos. I found inspiration from Terry Richardson's one flash set up work against a white wall.

Levitation Photography

This is my final photo for my college project "still life". I wanted to include a 16th century art feel to my work because of all of the fruit paintings that were done back then.
