This is a gig I photographed in gravesend in a pub, One of my favourite bands, a right awesome bunch of people.
This is a gig I done with my dad where he wanted me to take some photos for him.This is my favourite one because he's looking straight at the camera.
In the summer of 2011 I was just in my room hanging up some washing when I found a lady bird on a peg, Of course it was a pure camera moment for me,what doesn't help is that lady bird wouldn't keep still. Editing wise I just increased contrast.
 In college we had a photo shoot using lilies on a black backdrop, using low key lighting. I used two studio lights, one lighting up the backdrop and the other on the lilies. When editing this image on the right I converted it to black and white then added tints of purple.








To edit the second image I didn't do so much except altered the levels and contrast, lightening up the areas that needed brightening up. The focus is much more better on the second image than the first.

These are my own pieces I created, the first two are my favourite ones as they are sharp and look effective. I drew eyes over my eyelids and a false smile with make-up apart from the first image.
This is by an artist called Inez Van Lamsweerde, In college we have had to re create our own versions of Inez's work, This is just an image I chose at random to redo except for in my versions I have actually painted on my eyelids and lips instead of painting on the hands. I never had a model to work with so I had to be the model myself which is something I never enjoy doing but for some reason didn't mind this piece.
 This is a piece I took in Autumn 2011, I was at St. James Park in London, using photoshop I altered the levels and using the blur tool I blurred the edges around the people and the sun ray, then using the burn tool I went over the leaves and the area where the blur tool was used making it darker than the piece in the middle of the image. It also gives the image a sense of depth-of-field.
