Shadows and Light

It's been a while since my last blog post. In the meantime I've been shooting lots, trying out new ideas that have been floating around in my mind and hoping that I find it as interesting in real life. It has been a time of miserable weather and a bit of a creative slump on my side of the world. To try and get over this slump Have been shooting a bit of street photography when I can. Going back to basics and just looking out for certain colors on certain days. For me it's a lot harder than it sounds because I'm not sure my brain thinks that way but I think that is the point of the exercise.

Getting In Close With Nudes (NSFW)

A friend of mine who is also a photographer was recently looking at my work and made an interesting observation about my nudes portfolio. He noted that I tend to shoot the entire body and never come in close for tight shots. After listening to this I had another look at my work and he is correct in this.

Shanghai Streets In Colour

The Weather these days in Shanghai is trying to become semi decent an I thought it was a great excuse to go out and shoot some street again seeing as it has been a while since I've done it. Unfortunately I didn't get one decent shot, somedays it happens. It could be wrong place at the wrong time but in a city as vast as Shanghai I think it's more realistic to say that I just wasn't on my game and I wasn't looking at the city and the people through the right eyes.

Krabi Thailand

Beautiful and friendly Thailand. Every time I go to Thailand I enjoy it more and more. The people are always super friendly and respectful, always willing to help in anyway they can. Now trying to find something interesting and authentic to shoot becomes a little tricky when you find yourself in a tourist spot like Krabi but with the help of a great tour guide I managed to get away from the usual more well known places.

The Long Road To Consistency

Once again it's been far too long between posts. Life has been crazy for the past 5 months and I have had to learn to manage my time differently. Having said that, as you can see from the lack of posts I haven't been entirely successful but I'm getting better.

JinZI Jian, Zhejiang In Color

Second part of my blog about Jinzi, this time in colour. Did a lot of playing around in post to see which film feel I like. Some photos suit the portra400 feel others not. I think I should shoot an entire trip with the same feel from now on, almost as if I was shooting a role of film, yeah let's see how that goes in the future.
