Something Old, Something New

One of the projects we got given in second year was to photograph something old and something new in the same image. Challenging... I came up with the idea to use a seed that is beginning to sprout and place it around old objects eg old telephone, broken building etc. I really enjoyed photographing something different to the normal. I used natural lighting for most if the images but I did add a bit of flash light in.  I think my images have a lot of symbolic meaning that something new will grow from something old, that there is always hope. You just have to see its potential and nurture it into something big.

Nike Project

Nike Advertising Project

This has to be by far one of my favourite projects that i have had to do. We had to come up with new ideas on how to advertise for Nike. I chose to base my project around the sport of ballet. I chose to run with the theme of female strengh behind the beauty. Being an ex dancer this theme excited me to the limit. I decided to shoot the dancers both in and out of the studio. I tried to add a twist to the normal ballet images that we see everyday. I edited the logo in and tweaked the images a little. I am very happy with the overall outcome of my project. I have so many great ideas for ballet photography, so watch this space...
