Two photographs of a shoot I did with my friend Matt over the winter break. In an old childhood haunt we used to call 'The Meadow' (which was just a strip of grass and hedges that ran behind a bunch of houses) We both lamented on how much it had changed, and reminisced over memories we shared. I've been thinking about these images recently, and that place. It was strange, when we were younger there was always children there, climbing the trees and making dens. Well just being children I guess. All that energy put into exploration, imagination... Yet when we were there, it was so quiet. Almost deserted, neglected. Where were all the children? I bet they were all glued to their video game screens...
Here are two images from a project at university that I have recently finished. I dont have a title for it at the moment, so lets call it 'untitled' at the moment. So yeh 'untitled' is a project I have worked on under the tutorledge of Lisa Barnard. Looking at the ability of the photographic portrait to elicit action. My overall aim was to find a way to express the vulnerability in young males, my peers at university. I think it is important to note that these images arent documentary (this doesnt mean that they arent truthful.) They are my own representations of those quite, introspective moments which we find ourselves in sometimes, meant to allow the viewer a chance to study, linger over and meditate on.
Ok, so I've had blogs before, mainly tumblr and wordpress. I try to keep them current and up-to-date, and most of the time fail. This is a new blog that i hope to keep updated and regularly post on. This is going to be a blog about my photography, and all stuff relatable and relevant. Sorry, no furry animals. I've got another blog for that! So, guess the next step is to post some images, and tell you guys abit about what im working on! Peace.
