This one was my favourite out of the three. I love reflections and in this case I was pleased that i could have housing reflections in that scanky water. Again I took the image in the area that was previously a primary school. When i composed the image I purposely included the yellow bucket because without it proved a little un-interesting. When i printed the image the colours involved came out very bright and make this image strong. Even though the subject matter is 'mucky', the reflections and colours create an interesting image.

This was another strong one. I took a similar image before this one and staged a ball but in this case the football was already there, so i used the opportunity to include it in my shot. The message being that the space could be potentially turned into a play area. I composed the houses in the background to further the idea. The area was in the middle of these houses and roads going all the way around. I took the image in Burnley.

This was for my recent brief task of publicizing an area that could be changed into a place for social meetings, play area, somewhere where everyone trusts one another. I walked around Blackburn and Burnley for this task. The above image turned out to be the strongest. It was taken in Burnley. The area used to be an old primary school that was knocked down, I think a couple of years ago. The space has all overgrown and as far as i am aware there's no new plans for it yet. I used direct flash on the sign and a lower aperture to achieve detail to the sky. I was very pleased with the colour saturation. I tried the shot in landscape but it didn't have the same effect. I like the message and the fact that there is nothing behind it.

And Spring. I used Photoshop to create the cover and text headlines.

This one represents, Autumn and Winter.

I had to set up and stylise a fashion shoot of my own theme. I choose to do the 4 seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. I used two models and photographed them individually and together. I had to use 35mm colour film for the task in the studio. I then had to choose 3 final images and design fashion magazine covers for them. This one above is for the summer season.

I created this image in the studio using daylight flash, specifically a large softbox and background lighting. Again high key style. This picture shows 'Shallow Depth of Field'. I used a large focal length to compress the image and focus on the dummy to create an interesting artistic image. I'm really pleased with the colours and the expression of the baby wanting her dummy.

I took this photograph as part of my brief task to accentuate a feature. I used a white backdrop to create a high key style image. I used studio lighting equipment, specifically daylight flash with softbox and a honeycomb. Digital SLR, ISO 200, aperture of 32 and shutter speed of 1/125.

This is one of my recent favourite images. The sunlight shone on this twig at just the right moment. I used a larger focal length to compress the image and blur out its surroundings. I like the shapes and dark tones.

I went for a walk around the Leeds Liverpool Canal, Blackburn a couple of days ago. The sun was out and there were lots of fantastic shadows about. I stumbled across a desolate piece of spare land, which I think was recently a car park. It has been used as a dumping ground for rubbish bags , burnt out tyres, stones etc. At the moment I am working on a task to produce images to show the need for high quality parks (places to meet and play). I found this rather interesting plant and thought about including this with the spare land. My idea being that this place could be turned into something pretty, like the flower.

Little Lucy, high key black and white photograph which I took using studio lighting against a white backdrop to create a very light image.

This is another one, taken to accentuate the object using lighting and composition. I used a black backdrop to create a dark mood and used the light to pick out details of the gas mask. I wanted a low key image.

I took this a couple of days ago at home using studio light equipment.

I shot this one in the studio, its a low-key photo.

I quite like a bit of street photography and documenting. This is an image I took about a month ago.

Another 'Man and Environment' shot taken recently.

I photographed this image as part of a task to do with 'Man and Environment'. I like abstracty looking images, bold, colourful and interesting. It was a lovely day as you can see!

This is a picture I took a couple of years ago. I just love reflections and light, can you guess what it is?
