When I had all my images, I went through them and picked out the ones that showed key moments of their wedding. I wanted to create a photomontage with a magazine type appearence. I tmade up a title and used a quote they used on their wedding cake.

I've just photographed my first wedding for very close friends. I used my digital camera along with a flash gun. Some of the photograph's were dissapointing but I've learn't alot from them! The next few were the strongest. I used Adobe Photoshop to spruse some up abit.

This one is my favourite, it has a magazine advertisment feel to it. I love how the light falls on Sam's face and how the whole image is softly focused. It was windown frame was slightly darkened to create stronger framing around her. The pose is natural as she was unaware at the time.

The one below was one I took for some humour! Opposite to Tesco's was the town clock which created a fantastic background feature.

These photo's above are my final images that I have chosen for my Final Major Project at college. I used my Canon 40 D Digital SLR. I experimented with a technique called HDR, which stands for High Dynamic Range. This is where you capture the same image three or more times using different shutter speeds. The images are then combined to create one image that has a range of highlights and shows detail in the shadows. I decided to photograph in a rural environment and capture tree forms and landscape. They were all taken on couple of long walks around North Yorshire, specifically a village called leyburn. The images are in order from the start of the journey and on return (from top to bottom).

Another medium format image. I liked the field detail and the water collection. If I had been able to wait longer, I would have held on for a much more colourful sky to create mood.

This is one from my previous location brief. I used a medium format camera, specifically the Mamiya rb 67. I took the photograph in along the River Ure in Wensly, Yorkshire. I was very pleased with the colours, it was taken just before sun down. I havn't touched the image up in any way.

I took these photographs at the allotment. We prepared a fire and went up one evening to light it. We stayed up till late so I decided to catch a few shots. I didn't use a tripod, I just had my camera. I used slow shutter speeds and just held the camera as still as I could. I was amazed that some of them turned out!

I like the eye catches in this portrait.

These two work well because facial expression and movement are natural. I captured them as she was preparing a pose.

I composed these images for a specialist studio brief. I used layered warm toned, voile fabric to create a soft, textured barrier and had my model pose behind them. I was pleased with the bodily curves and skin tones.

These are my final images for a specialist location brief. I decided to to produce images based around autumn and winter, rural landscape. I used my Canon 40D camera and a tripod. The images were taken around Hurst Wood, Burnley and Aysgarth, North Yorkshire. I choose the three strongest images from each season and created a triptych for each.
