Hello!
It has been a while since I posted anything on here. This is because I've recently set up a Facebook page for my photographic exploits. This is for a number of reasons, it's quick and easy - I can post albums of photos easier than I can on here, and posts can be short and sweet.
It is also a great tool for getting my work across, at the moment it's only friends and family who like the page, but I'm working on that. If you don't already, then please like my page I post links to photographs and videos not just of my own, but others work too! Link to the page here.
This summer has passed by in a blur of working, dissertation research and contemplating my directions for the final year. Getting to grips with our new camera has been a fun time too, so many buttons and settings that have me in awe. Definitely worth the investment.
I've been working with a few people over the summer, mainly on a freelance basis. I'm lucky enough to be working with the charity Cruse in Holyhead, creating a short video explaining what they do. Cruse are a bereavement counselling service for those who have lost someone close to them. I've also had the opportunity to work further with Rhyl FC and hope to start an internship with them soon, working with local children in their football academies.
A friend of mine, Woody who has been making music for a long time now, asked me if I'd like to begin a collaboration, making a short film with clips and photographs as a music video for one of his tracks. Something that has proved to be quite fun.
I was asked to photograph Sam's 50th birthday (Sam is my sister's husband's brother!) at the Cheadle Golf Club back in July. I gladly accepted and Chris and I had a lovely time, we were both welcomed and had a great deal of fun filming Sam's birthday messages, as everyone was a little more than tipsy so some of them were actually quite funny.
The weekend we photographed Sam's birthday was also the weekend we stayed at my sister's house in Cheadle, Chris took me to the Peak District for the day where he showed me many places he used to climb, it is full of beautiful landscape and I especially loved Row Tor, which is said to have been made by the Druids.
Lastly, today is World Photography Day I hope you'll be photographing something!
