Joshua Campbell - 6 months have passed

On my way over to France for a very exciting shoot, I saw an opportunity to stop off and visit my Nephew.  Last time I took a portrait of him he was 3 weeks, now he is 6 months!

Self directed assignment

My Self directed assignment took a change after the results of Tuesdays shoot. When going to photograph the Cornish Sea Salt factory I expected to find a busy factory, with lots of workers and lots going on. On arrival I found a small factory, with machines that are monitored every half an hour by one man. I changed the direction of my story to represent this. The image below is my favourite image from my time there, although a few of my peers have suggested I cut it from my final edit of 6 images I don't feel I can. I love how bleak it is, and is a nice representation of how I often felt. Constantly looking out the windows to the beautiful scenery outside.

Wake Up Rhiannon

I wanted to practice use with a Metz 45 cl-4 flash that I took out of the university stores one evening, Previously that night I had taken some images of other people from my course however these were all just 'test' shots. When I returned back to my flat I decided I would knock on everybody's doors at 3am and capture them when they had just woken up. Rhiannon was the only one silly enough to open her door at this awful hour, and so then became my next mini photo project.

So for all of this Rhiannon, I do apologise, But thank you.
