Vibrant Speed

These photographs are a series that I produced when I was on a train.  The idea is that when we are on a train we don't consider the imagery around us, we just sit on a train waiting to get from A to B. So I got on a train and took these photographs.  It was quite hard as you don't have time to think, you just shoot and hope you captured the quick scene that flies past.

Please leave feedback.  I want to know if they are any good. :)

More Art :)

Some more of my art work that I did in pencil, biro men, acrylic paint.  This work is a build up to my current project in University. 

I spent about an hour on each seperate drawing. They were just quick ideas that I wanted to put on paper.

Drawings

 

These sketches mixed with photography are based on the idea of nature and technology and how in todays modern life they share a very close relationship. It's obvious that years and years ago that nature ruled until technology advanced and has taken over.  Technology pushed out nature, and nature struggles to fit in with our modern lives.

Please take a look and leave feedback.

Sign me

I like the idea of signs and wanted to do a couple of shots using signs to see if it worked. So in the future it could be a possible route.

Identity

I like the theme of identity and hope to use this in my second year. The bottom two images were photographs that I did in first year for a project called private/public. I wanted to come back to these and make them more effective so they would shock my viewer.   I wanted to give off the sense of plastic, as I believe we are in a world that subjects ourselves to peer pressure, especially with women and image.  So many females are having plastic surgery to become the ideal image due to media and social pressure. I wanted to exaggerate this and make my subject completely plastic. So that her identity has been taken, and I believe in years to come that every female will end up having plastic surgery as it will be seen as the fashion.  I just think it's really creepy.

The top image was just a manipulation of mixing a female and male face together. I'm not quite sure where I was going with this, yet I think it's quite effective. You need to look closely to see both faces.

Character in Tunisia

I went to Tunisia in the summer and thought I would take some photographs to show their cutlture, I wanted to photograph quiet streets. However, I found out that they don't like you to capture the streets where tourists aren't there as it's quite dangerous! All round the streets are police with machine guns this was quite nerve racking and we had all be warned previously to be careful where to point our cameras. This dissapointed me.  I thought instead which is quite humourous that I would go to the zoo thinking we are in North Africa that they would have some quite interesting animals! I was wrong.  They had chiwawas as an animal to see, chickens, sheep, goats and birds and something called a mourish turtle! So I was shocked thinking I would see tigers to find sheep. They were quite funny looking so I took some pictures.
