Tired and in so much pain after shooting today, let’s hope it was worth it!

I seriously can’t focus on anything right now. I’m trying so hard to get things done and I just can’t concentrate, I hate being ill and I seriously don’t have time for this what with my exhibition workbook deadline, the exhibition itself and my final major experimentation deadline all approaching far quicker than I can handle. Add to that the time consuming the video...

This week is one ridiculously hectic week so it’s unlikely I’ll be all that sociable and I’m also more likely than normal to snap at you if you’re being an idiotic twat.
Monday I spent the day trying to catch up on work, emails, etc.
Tuesday I had meetings regarding a collaborative project and then a test shoot later on in the day.
Today I’m working and shooting...

I’ve recently had a lot of artists that I’ve photographed at events asking me if it’s cool to use the photos that I’ve taken of them outside of websites that I’ve posted them on. Of course It’s fine with me it would be really nice if you would state who took the images. I’d also love it if you could send me a link to where it’s being used so that I...

So ridiculously stressed today. Seriously need to figure out what I’m doing with coursework because right now I can’t see myself passing my course. I’ve got so many different things to focus on at once and as a result I just feel so mentally drained that I can’t block out back/neck pains and all I want to do is sleep. Arghhh! Don’t even know where to start with...
Had a fun test shoot with the gorgeous Jenivieve yesterday, always love working with her! There’s a quick edit up on my main blog already :) Should hopefully but shooting with her again tomrrow and then in the evening I’ll be photographing Rigsmith HiFi 3 Area Party at Voodoo Lounge, Plymouth. After a day of recovery and editing I’ll be photographing at Fractal, also at Voodoo...

Day 7 – What is your favourite picture that you...
Man, this is such a hard question because I shoot so much and my tastes change so regularly that it’s constantly changing. Out of my most recent shoots I think it’s probably either this one of Jenivieve or the one afterwards of Faye Edwardes but give it a couple of days and it will undoubtedly change.
If we’re going to go for favourite photo of all time that I’ve shot...

Day 6 – How important is it to you to have...
For me it’s really important, I find it much easier to express myself visually than through other means and I’ve always been a very visual person. If I wasn’t a photographer then I’d be attempting to make a living out of another means of image making (for example, before I decided to focus more on photography I did a bit of work in graphic design and digital art). I also...

Day 5 – Do you always bring a camera with you?
I used to always take a digital compact camera with me but I no longer have one. I would take a film compact everywhere if I could afford to spend that much on film but alas I can’t so for the moment I just use my phone. I’d like a new digi compact for when I’m not working but it’s just not top of the list of stolen items that I need to replace :(

Day 4 – What kind of camera do you have?
If I was to answer this in full with every camera I have it’d take far longer than I’m prepared to spend on a Tumblr challenge because I’m a little bit obsessed with buying cameras of any sort for my collection haha. Most of what I post online these days is shot with my Canon EOS 5d Mark ii. Before I got this camera I used to shoot with a 400d so some of what you’ve seen of...

Day 3 - Why do you take photos?
Okay so I know its 3am but I haven’t slept yet so technically I’m still.doing this on the right day ;)
I take photos for a number of reasons. As a way of holding onto memories, a way of expressing myself, a way of communicating, a way of earning a living, a way towards getting a qualification, a way of telling a story, the list really could go on forever but most importantly, I do it...
So I’ve been working my ass off on the editing tip today and have managed to finally finish going through the Resolution 242 photographs from Ride last Thursday and the Skank n Stomp Dave The Drummer shots from the weekend as well as a large chunk of the My Ruin ones from a while back so I’m actually feeling like I’ve accomplished something today :D The Resolution 242 ones are on...

Day 2 – Do you scrapbook?
I don’t as much as I used to. I keep an art journal, although I’ve been a bit slack with that lately as I’ve been so busy, but that’s mostly drawings and such as oppose to any of my photography. I’d probably include more photographs in it if I ever remembered to buy ink for my printer haha. The closest I really get to scrapbooking is the journals that I have to keep...

Day 1 – What kind of photos do you enjoy looking...
All sorts and my tastes change regularly! You can see what I’m into at any given time by looking at my inspiration Tumblr.
Currently I’m really into fashion photographs, particularly darker and more avant garde ones, and photos with surreal and ethereal lighting. Photographs of sexy ladies never go a miss either, I have to indulge my inner pervert haha. I’m also really into...

Seriously tired, I have been spending far too much time looking at Lightroom lately. Currently going through all the photographs from My Ruin at White Rabbit and it’s taking forever! I can’t really complain though… Having to look at picture after picture of Tairrie B isn’t really all that bad ;)
Will be onto Resolution 242 at Ride photos next and then Skank n Stomp...

Lush chilled evening last night, I love it when Amy aka Miss Twiggy Von Lea comes to stay! Hopefully seeing her again for Skank n Stomp this weekend. Shooting the beautiful Faye Edwardes later today :) I’m enjoying not having to be in college this week and being able to actually be productive, it’s weird how studying what you love sucks out all your motivation for it at times.
