Joreon Peters I like the simplicity of Peters’ work which is emphasised by his choice of pastel colour grading.

Both images make me feel detached; I think … Continue reading Architecture Research Continued

I am a student photographer in the 2nd year of my HND based at Edinburgh College. I have enjoyed all aspects of photography so far with my favourites being landscape and wildlife. In June this year I was second shooter for my first wedding which taught me a lot of skills in working with many people at one time, as well as working under time constraints and various different lighting conditions.
Following my HND I plan to progress to the BA, continuing with my studies at Edinburgh College and then on to my career as a freelance photographer.

While the second image lacks in contrast, the softness and pale … Continue reading Architecture Research 1

Nukem, Prager, and Preez & Thornton-Jones
Haris Nukem The lighting in this series by Nukem is harsh on the models; creating blown out highlights across the skin where it is coloured red and blacked out shadows underneath their jawlines and breasts. This, along with the use of the plastic-like-painted-on-covering gives the subjects a shiny and doll-like look but with very … Continue reading Nukem, Prager, and Preez & Thornton-Jones

A professional photographer would … Continue reading Fashion Research Continued
