Beginning is a good place to start...

My photo
Basically...Flickr is good and everything...but doesn't really give me the opportunity to write about my photos, or what they are about etc. Most photographers, artists, what ever they do prefer not to write or talk about what has inspired them to write certain lyrics etc...they prefer to keep it private it and leave it up to us to decifer the true meaning behind it. I can understand that, and to a degree I do that with some things such as poems or analogies. But with photos its a bit different. You can tell someone a long story about something, but they may not understand you. They can read words but can't always take the meaning from the page. With a photo, you can show someone a story. You can explain something to someone by showing them as well as telling them. Sometimes I don't want to tell anyone though. Sometimes it's just an outlet purely for me, to express what I feel, or at least try to. So...that is what the second blog is for..

The Beach.

Month - November.
Model - Robyn.
MU&W - Myself.

Shooting in the style of Silja Magg (http://www.siljamagg.com/portfolio/#!/portfolio/).
For my unit 3; my own project (yet to decide on a final title...but I'll get there)

When looking at her work, there always seems to be a sense of beauty combined with an equal amount of something haunting and eerie, yet I cannot place my finger on it.
I wanted to create a rough plot in my mind of the character I wanted to portray, someone who was vulnerable, lost, yet seems to fit into her surroundings perfectly, as if it were her home; no matter how contrasting it may seem.

In a natural setting, with dismal and dramatic weather, combined with a model (willing to brave the November weather) wearing an elegant but simple dress, I felt that the setting was pretty perfect to my standards. Here are some more shots...
