Autumn Duffle Coat Shoot (09.12.2013)

Autumn Duffle Coat Shoot

I planned this shoot with my friend Oliver for quite some time. The aim of the shoot was to capture some catalogue style photos, highlighting the coat. I also got Oliver to pose with a Polaroid SX-70 because, from my research I found that the Duffle Coat was really popular, even before the 50s and the SX-70 is also very old.

University and Portfolio (06.12.2013)

University and Portfolio (06/12/2013)

I've got a few photos that I've yet to upload. I'll probably upload them in the following week, but I've been busy with my Media work as well as my University application. I received an email from a few universities which want me to submit an online portfolio. I've done a few more photo shoots last week that I'm hopefully going to add into my portfolio to balance the type of photography I have in my portfolio. Here is a few shots I've taken and edited. I edited them the photos to create a vintage/retro style look.

London MCM Comic Con and other stuff! (29.10.2013)

London MCM Comic Con (29/10/2013)

Every year I go to Comic con, whether it's in May or October. This year was slightly different, I brought my camera and camera bag as usual, but I didn't feel compelled to take any photos. Whether it was because the event became more and more bland as I go every time, or maybe I no longer like the casual style of photography. 

Here are some from my previous cons. 




I picked up- when I say I picked up I mean my cousins Eric and Elaine got me - Hot Toys Agent Coulson figure. The resemblance of Clark Gregg is uncanny. It'll fit perfectly along with my Captain America! Took some shots with it, and even tried to make a stop motion video. It's been so long since I made one, and a first with a Hot Toys figure with so many joints and beautiful articulation!



And other stuff!

Some other crazy stuff I did for my Photography project were, light painting within the darkroom and levitation photography. 



The levitation photography didn't go too well. The basics of levitation is all there, the lifting off the ground, but the clothes aren't draping down from gravity. I did try to liquify the clothes to create the illusion, but it looks very obvious. 
 I also tried my hand on Hadouken photography. 
The first attempt at it.
It started to get better, I think?
