SELF PORTRAITS

This photoshoot was a massive personal challenge on my own part. I never really use the studio for my own work, i tend to just watch people use it. Within workshops with Phil i have found myself to be a slow learner too, which isn’t the best quality to have as an aspiring fashion photographer. […]

ASSISTING AND MODELLING, WHITBY

For my friend Nicola’s belated birthday present, me, Abbie and Megan decided to take her to Whitby. We also saw this as a chance to take some photographs. However i chose to hang back and model for my friends instead of photograph myself as i’ve never been particularly talented in shooting my close friends. Once […]

SHOOTING WITH OLIVIA

This shoot has turned out to be one of my favourites to date, simply due to how easily it flowed and how fast we got it finished. At the start of the day, me and my two assistants (Abbie and Nicola) had arranged to meet my model (Olivia) at Leeds Arts Uni. This was due […]

SHOOTING IN THE SWINGERS CLUB

The swingers club was a very interesting experience for both me and my models/assistants. I had two assistants, both Abbie Hudson and Megan Wilson. I am very happy that i chose to bring two assistants as they helped me in terms of good lighting locations and morale. The model i had chose to work with […]

STREET PHOTOGRAPHY, LONDON

When visiting London, Fashion Week was a-go. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to start some street styling and begin practising my street photography. It was a very interesting and helpful activity, however the chaos surrounding it was absolutely hectic. There were photographers being pushed over, cars being blocked due to mini photo-shoots happening on […]

MODELLING, NICOLA WIPER

Nicola is a really great friend of mine, so when she asked me to model for her i was rather delighted. Her apparent reasoning for using me as the subject for her imagery was due to me being quite a sex based individual and the shots she wanted were lingerie themed. I was asked to […]

ANALYSING EDITORIALS

In regards to editorials, i love looking at them and analysing technical and concept based elements. I find it really fun and interesting to do when looking through magazines and digital blogs. Within this blog post, i am going to be speaking on 2 seperate editorials (from the publication POP) and analysing them in terms […]

VISITING THE SWINGERS CLUB

Yesterday i decided to do some location scouting for future shoots. There are so many beautiful places in Leeds however a lot of these areas have previously been explored by photographers prior to myself. I wanted to photograph models in areas that were fresh and new, places that could be considered ambiguous albeit rather beautiful. […]

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Fashion photography is a massive deal, a huge massive big deal. Thats why i chose to study it at Leeds Arts University for the next three years. The way in which fashion based imagery is plastered everywhere in our society is both groundbreaking and completely progressive within the art movement and I’ve always wanted to […]
