Memory

Hi everyone!

This week is DEADLINE week! Eeep!

Two big projects are due in this week, one tomorrow and one on Thursday. So it's busy, busy, busy for me (especially today!)

But I thought I would share some of the work I have for the project due in on Thursday for my experimental work. It is all based on memory and the idea that you may remember the photograph rather than the detail and actual memory behind the photograph!

I'm overlaying photographs together, photographs from my childhood and more recent ones. The photograph above is from Paris when I was around 11 and the older photographer...not quite sure how old I was there, but I sure did have a...lovely smile!

I certainly remember the trip to Paris, not just due to this photograph. But maybe part of that memory is triggered by seeing the photograph. As for the other one...not a clue!

My sister and I! Again I have no clue about either photograph and what situation they were taken in, but my memory associated with these photographs is the outfit we were wearing! I distinctly remember that outfit, so I'm pretty sure I'm not just remembering it due to the photographs.

My sister again. This time I remember both of the situations of the photograph. The more recent one I took about two weeks ago! The older one was a trip to London, and I have a lot of memories outside of this image.

And finally my mum and I! This has to be my favourite one, I love the combination of colour and black&white (and plus I love my mum!)

Again I remember the recent photograph more so than the older one, which is located in Spain. For that holiday I definitely remember feeding cats outside of our villa most days!

So that was an insight into something a little bit different. They aren't my usual style, but it is nice to go through my childhood photographs and remembering!

Libby Ferris Flowers

Hi everyone,

Here are the photographs from my shoot yesterday at Libby Ferris Flowers here in Norwich. Libby was lovely, as were her team! So I just want to say thank you to them for letting me photograph them while they were creating bouquets, button holes and corsages for a wedding.

While Libby was creating the bouquet seen above, we had a really love chat about what she does, and why! She is very highly focused on quality, not just of her flowers (which are beautiful) but of her service to her customers. I really admire this, as it is too easy to not focus on giving each and every customer the attention they deserve.

But Libby and her lovely ladies are wonderful at this. The care and attention I not only saw, but also discussed with Libby, was amazing and something I always try to strive to with the way I work.

I also really enjoyed watching and photographing their beautiful creations! With ease they created bouquets and button holes, and I was very impressed!

So if you are getting married, or simply want to treat a loved one to a stunning bouquet and you live in Norwich definitely pay a visit to Libby and her team!

Wahoo, another shoot complete! I'm very much looking forward to Monday and getting to photograph at Pure, not only do I love weddings, but I really love wedding dresses!

The photographs for that will probably be up on Tuesday, as straight after that shoot I am heading back to University in Lincoln!

Excited! Bridal dresses, flowers and old friends!

Hi guys,

I'm having such a good day - and I'm pretty excited right now! Not only do I have a shoot tomorrow with Libby Ferris Flowers but I have just confirmed today a shoot with Pure.


They are a bridal boutique located in Norwich, not only was their manageress, Gemma, lovely when I spoke to her on the phone, but they stock the most beautiful bridal gowns I have seen. I am very excited to be photographing there, because not only is it really going to be amazing for my documentary project, and a shoot I really wanted to do, but it gives me a chance to meet up with some of my lovely friends who will be modelling for me, just as they did while we were in sixth-form. But with a difference, Amy is engaged!

With the Super Man logo is Amy, the bride! She's holding up Nikki, who you can also see in the photograph below.

One of my favourite photographs I have ever taken of Nikki!

And finally Bella, I love this photograph of her!

I'm really looking forward to this shoot and I cannot wait for this project to be over, not because it's been a lot of work, I just can't wait to see all the photographs together in the wedding style album I will be creating.

I'll post the photographs I take tomorrow on here as soon as they are finished, and of course my shoot for next week will be from Pure! So exciting.

Oops!

Hi guys,

So no shoot last week, sorry! It was fairly busy towards the end of the week, Ferenc and I drove home on Thursday, and we will be back for another week!

However the lack of shoot last week will be made up for this week. I have two shoots confirmed for this week with, Libby Ferris Flowers and also the Norwich Registry office - my documentary project is really coming together now!

I am currently trying to arrange shoots with a bridal boutique and also a jeweller, these two would make my project really complete! Luckily for me a close friend is engaged, so I have a model already!

So once I have finished those shoots they will be up on here, along with the shoot I have been planning with my sister for the last couple of days

Washingborough Hall

Hi everyone!

Today's post is the photographs from a shoot I went on today at Washingborough Hall Hotel for, you guessed it, my documentary project!

Yesterday I made a lovely long list of things I have to do for my University work, from work for this project (including the list of 20 other shoots I have to do for this project) to writing my dissertation proposal and work for my experimental project. This list isn't scary as it would normally be, and it is all very achievable!

It felt great to be able to tick off one item from my list - this shoot!

I really feel as if this documentary project is coming together, and it is by far my favourite project that I have done so far at University. It is so close to what I want to do when I leave, so it is fun to have the time to photograph a lot of the elements from an industry that I love, and want to work within.

I just want to say thank you to Lucy from Washingborough Hall Hotel for letting me photograph your beautiful hotel as part of my project! I hope to photograph a wedding here some day!

So this is my shoot for this week, I'm so glad to having kept the promise to myself to do at least one shoot a week. I'm hoping once this project is over I will be able to do more portrait orientated shoots, as that is where my passion is!

If you haven't seen my previous post, please check it out. If you want a Free Photosoot and you live in Norwich or Lincoln, please get it touch! All you have to do is let me feature you in my documentary project.

Free Photoshoot?

Hi everyone!

Do you live in Norwich or Lincoln? Would you like a free photoshoot with me? Then get in touch!

(That sounds like such a terrible advert!)

But seriously, if you have been reading my blog you would have seen the post I have put up about my documentary project - where I am documenting each element that goes into making a wedding. From the flowers, ring shopping, dress fittings, ceremony spaces etc the list is pretty much endless!

However what I am missing from my photographs are PEOPLE! I am looking for couples to photograph in relation to this project, so I am probably going to stage ring shopping, but I also want couples who are DIY-ing their decorations, or invitations, or who are having a stag/hen party!

In return for letting me photograph you for my project I am offering a free pre-wedding/engagement style shoot - and even if you aren't getting married you can still help! As long as you're willing to pose for me for my project, I am offering a couples photoshoot - so you can have some nice photographs of you both together!

I am in Lincoln till the middle of next week, when I will be returning home to Norwich for around two weeks. So if you live in either place please do get in touch!

Thank you!

See you next shoot (Which once again will be for this project!)
