My Month on 35mm.

I shoot all the time, whether it's an interesting view out the window when I wake up or whether it's something beautiful on the ceiling of a building I'm inside of.

My life is documented, constantly.

I know I haven't been regularly updating recently due to my uni overload but it's coming up to Christmas now and I'll be having plenty of time to write and plenty of photos to show you.

This series I've focused a lot on the buildings. Beauty of the places you spend most of your time in. My university and my home.

Shooting for fresh designers. GLAZED show.

I've been asked to shoot a collection called GLAZED for new, upcoming designers who are currently on their second year of university, studying -obviously- fashion design.

Their collection was based on glazed colours, grey, white, light blue. However, don't be thinking about cliché designs but look at these garments which are super contemporary, classy/casual and sporty at the same time. 

Perfect.

STYLIGHT- DISCOVER FASHION EVERYDAY.

You all have probably heard of Lookbook.nu, Stylefruits, Fashionista, etc. There are definitely many different apps and websites which 'throw' inspirations at you for your everyday outfits, hair, make-up.

This one is something I've not heard of before and seeing that it has over 10,000 users on its' application, I'm going to give it a go.

So, I've decided I won't be doing a normal review and introduction for all you stylish people but I will actually do a 'live' opinion session where I'm going to register on the website NOW and tell you how I feel about the website as I go!

Let's go.

I've chosen my country (UK) and it has taken me to an additional tab where it opened up the website. I think I would've liked it better if it stayed on the same tab, but it's just me. I'm so needy. 

Next, I click 'join' and register through Facebook. I love this so much. I hate filling out all the info so I really thank you to those websites who have this option!

Then, it asks me to like 5 looks to continue. Cool, easy done. I love them! The photos are good framing and quality too.

Then, I'm liking 5 pieces of clothing, accessories, etc. Wow, so there's not just designer stuff but also high street and new labels. The prices vary totally!

Next, you follow 5 people which are famous bloggers, celebs, etc. so you can gain some inspirations from them! 

I've checked out the products and there's a lot of sale stuff going on at amazing prices, which I was so shocked about!

I've not seen a website where it was all mixed up together before and I'm loving it!

I think you should all check it out and join and start creating your own outfits! 

Amazing to gain inspirations from so you can look amazing everyday!

EDITING 35MM PHOTOS

I've never have actually edited my film photos before. I don't know why...I've always liked the way they looked.

However, yesterday at uni I've had an amazing lesson about technical skills in photography. 

Well, it's called like this but it's something totally different. There's still lessons on ISO, etc. etc. but the main part of these lessons and the module is to recognize who you are.

What kind of photographer are you?

Who is your favorite photographer?

He/she will direct you in the right way to start experimenting your own style.

My photographer is Alasdair Mclellan. Beautiful work, amazing nature backgrounds and natural-looking models. Nature at its' best, basically. 

I've also found out I'm a 'nature-drawn' person/photographer.

Sometimes you don't know what makes you love the photo you do. It's things you don't exactly know about, these are mainly your instincts. 

Anyway, coming back to the point of this post; I've tried out touching- up my films to achieve the look I'm really directing my photography in.

Here are some photos before and after.

I've mainly used the curves, grey and blue photo filters and shadows and highlights.

ESTATE GIRL.

Latest shoot shot by me. Enjoy.

Outfit designer - Amy Leilani Melson 

Model - Bethany Wells

Vocalist Lucy Rhiannon- portraiture.

Hey, it's been a while since my last post (at least it feels like it anyway), however I have something you might like! 

I've been shooting some portraits on a basic studio backdrop with a soft box and an attachable camera flash with an addition of fabric filters.

Yes, fabric. If you've seen my posts before then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, shooting on a backdrop with fake light isn't my thing and I think I've already stated that quite clearly a few times before. I do prefer shooting with a film camera on a location, natural lighting. I don't know how I've ended up doing another studio shoot! 

This one, however, looks a bit different because of the DIY filters. 

Here are my favorite photos from the shoot.

PS: Enjoy this amazing autumn-y weather x

The last one is personally my fave.

BAK IN DA DAIZ

What I've actually decided to do in this post was something I've never seen on blogs before. You probably hear it from your friends sometimes if not most of the time but it's something that happens to you when you investigate through YouTube. 

Yes, it's songs from 'back in the day' which you used to listen to. Maybe not the ones YOU did but the ones I have. 

(quick thought)- actually, it'll be quite good just to interview people about their 'back in the days' songs and make a post on that...

Okay, anyway; I'm actually doing this while I'm writing the post so I'll include the songs I basically remember or have seen on youtube, etc. You know what I mean.

I have chosen the age from 11 to 16 years old.
