Day 54

Just some texture today. One of things I enjoy doing is taking a photograph of a rather boring subject and through the photographing of the object and editing on Photoshop making it into a completely different, interesting image. When I was doing my brick walls photograph one of the questions I was asked repeatedly was “Is it just brick walls you’re photographing?” yes I was just photographing brick walls as I knew that plastered walls would be uninteresting in comparison. Today I took three photographs of a plastered brick wall and edited it on Photoshop. I knew I could make a photograph of a plastered wall interesting but only with the added elements of Photoshop edits and layers.

Day 51

Another photograph from my portfolio today. This is a particularly sad one for me for reasons not completely obvious in the image. This image was part of a project I did looking at life and death which helped me to deal with the death of my great Grandparents. I was incredibly lucky to have known them but dealing with death as an athiest is an incredibly painful thing. Although I get my taste in art from looking at paintings done by my Fathers, Father it was my Mothers, Mothers, Father that first taught me how to paint and gave me one of his own paintings. He was the person who first inspired me to love art. As part of this project I visited the graveyard where they are buried and photographed other graves in the beautiful graveyard. The Christmas baubles in this image were tied to a tree in the graveyard.

Day 50

Today another one of the photographs from my portfolio. This one is from my 2nd year of A-Levels and I am drawn to it because of the intense concentration of detail  in the middle of the photograph.

Day 41 – Weekly Photo Challenge: The World Through My Eyes

Today I discovered the Daily Post and was inspired by the weekly photo challenge. I decided to take the theme very literally and take a photograph after I had seen the blog post. Looking up from my bed at my curtains.

The way the light shines through the curtain is my favourite part of the images.

Day 40

Here are some macro shots of a painting I did today, there is a lot of anger and fear that went into the painting but I edited the photographs so that the yellows and blues play an important role in representing life and hope.
