Egyptian Princess





I got all excited dressing Georgina up that I didn't actually plan what I was going to do with her afterwards, so we just ended up making it up as we went along. Not the best way to do a photoshoot, at least a vague idea is needed. Overall not bad shots and I think Georgina is improving with her facial expressions and keeping tension in her face.

Mona Lisa



It was only after the shoot that I realised I forgot to pale her eyebrows out. I think the pose is very acurate compared with that of the original, however I was unable to achieve the same look of mischief that the original Mona Lisa posessed.

Grecian Goddess





Never under estimate the power of a bed sheet and a few good safety pins. I really love doing photoshoots like this, not having a preset idea and just going with the flow and putting together outfits on the spot. Although I have to say the hair took over an hour and Georgina got really grumpy, I think she was really happy with how she looked in the end.

Madonna


I felt it was time for another recreation and since my Saint Fabiola Photograph turned out so good I decided to stick with the religious theme.

1960s Lady


Once again an other difficult photoshoot. In each of the historical or cultural photoshoots I try to emulate that period with sterotypical dress, make-up and hair. Although this is my favourite photo from this particular shoot, I dont think it emulates this time period and so therefore I believe I failed in that respect.

1970s Lady


This photoshoot was really difficult and in the end I wasn't satisfied with any of the photographs so I decided to us the first shot I took.

Me and My Sister- A family Portrait

Here is my first ever art video. Me and My Sister- A Family Portrait explores the relationship between siblings and the process undergone inorder to create the final out come of a photograph. This video reveals all the laughter and fustration behind the scenes, eventually transforming its self into a perfect photograph.

Art Ark

Apologises for not having any new posts in a while. Thoses waiting for my first video, you will be waiting a long time because I have decided I hate Final Cut Pro and so it is going to take me a while to get my head around the technology and finish the video.

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT

Probibly should have mentioned this earlier but me and four other Creative Art Practice students held a group exhibition on two narrow boats on the Victoria Quays in Sheffield. The exhibtion was a great success and here are some photos from the event.





And here is a video of the exhibition.
