1/15 F-Stop Iso 100. I love this one but I wish I had of put the main tree in more accurate focus to create a much stronger sense in depth in field. I love the colours in the background through the silhouetted trees.

1/30 F5.6 Iso 100

1/30 F5.6 Iso 100.

I love the colours in this one and there are many different textures. Again a slow shutter speed and big aperture. I'm not so sure about the tree to the far left, is it too distracting or does it balance it?

I had a go with colour film, using a medium format camera (Mamiya RB67). I walked around Hurst Wood in Burnley and captured several autumn shots. This was one of my favourites, I like the angle, your eye is drawn up the tree trunk and then around the warm tones leaves. I used a slow shutter speed of 1/8 of a second and F-Stop of 4.0. Iso was 100.

I produced this one in a studio environment. I used coloured gel's over the lighting to create stronger, warmer tone variation as opposed to the silver ring and clear crystal on a plain white background. I particularly liked the shadow, it appears to show movement and works well with the fiery tones that surround it. The facets look good, these stand out because I used a black gel, which shone up from underneath the table.

I composed this image for a fashion portrait task. I used studio lighting, specifically daylight flash, softbox and honeycomb. I wanted to show off the oversized eyelashes. I like the light overtaking on the left and bright expression.

I love the lighting and detail in this one but I wish I had of included more of the circular window, there wasn't much room behind me! The colours look delicate and I think the pose is pretty.

Recently I have been trying out various camera angles for a different perspective. I stood right over her and compressed her whole figure in to the frame as she looked up at me. I really like this one.

This is one of my favourite portraits.. I like to use surrounding materials/objects to create interest in the shot. I asked my model Bekah to rest her head on her hand to frame her face. I've started applying bold colours, though make-up, hair and accessories to produce a stronger looking image. I have used Photoshop to tidy up any blemishes on her face and enhanced the colours slightly.

I wanted to have a go at a lighting technique called 'Edge' lighting, where the face is split into two halves. I wanted to create a sinister looking portrait. I used a wet glass pane to try and disguise him and when I took the photograph, I looked down as he stared up into the lens. I do like this image but I think more water on the glass would give off a stronger and much more sinister look. I will post another improved version very soon.

I love the lighting on this one. I used a flash gun to bring out her facial features as the light was behind her. I love the scarf and the delicate tones. I do think that she could have been framed better. Its a digitally captured image.

This is one of my favourites. The colours are warm and I like how she fills the frame. This is a small format image. I used my flash gun with homemade diffuser and a had my assistant hold a sheet of gold card to refect the sunlight back onto her face which was behind her.

This is one of my most recent pictures, as you can see my framing is much more thought-about... I like all the green tones in this one. The lighting looks good and I like how she fills the frame.

Small format film and flash gun, along with homemade diffuser and reflector panels. Location was my boyfriends allotment. I like a quality of the film negatives compared with digital but I do tend to compose the image slightly over-exposed. I only started using a film camera from September last year and I really enjoy it. I take my digital SLR with me aswell as the film camera as a backup though.

I liked the expression on this one. I used a flash gun and reflector panel and captured the image on my SLR 35mm camera. The location was Gawthorpe Hall, around the surrounding fields.

I took this one near Gawthorpe Hall, Padiham in Burnley. The weather wasn't all great but I like this image because she stands out against the white sky. The wind gave movement to her dress, which adds interest rather than being flat. Again reflector panel and flash gun were used.

I took this photograph for an college brief. I needed to capture several fashion shots on small format film. This was taken on 35mm film and lab processed. I picked a sunny day and used white polystyrene to help reflect the light up onto her face. I am pleased with the turn out. The shadows and skin tones look okay. I took the photograph at my boyfriends allotment.
