Mmmmhhh?

Well I have decided to join everyone by editing my header, its not great as it is just a quick edit that I put together in Photoshop. I think that I may need to rethink it and upload some more recent photographs that I have shot as I dont have them all stored on the computer. I think that the blog looks better now that I have edited bits of it. After looking at and discussing everyones yesterday I realised that mine definitely needed a bit of TLC. I think what I have done has made it a bit more professional and I have finally got some pictures on here as well. I have a put a few up because I was not sure which ones to choose and I just wanted to make the blog a bit more exciting. But I do not really like where the photos are, so may still need to have a play with the layout of the blog as time goes on.

Now more important things than the blog - I need to start creating some photographs. I have still not shot any film as I am waiting for my film to arrive - now this is the time when I wish I had a digital SLR. Ideas still no further along than they were 2 days ago :P, but I am tempted to work with portraiture for this project as I want to try and do something different. As we all know I always do the close ups and documentary stuff and I feel I need to show people that I can do more than just extreme shallow depth of field. Although I had a bit of a disaster in the past when shooting portraiture on location I think it was because I was approaching it in the wrong way and lacked in confidence and just wanted to get in, shoot and leave as quickly as possible.

As I mentioned in my previous entry about multiple exposures I have had a quick look at some images on google for some inspiration and to see if its what i really want to do. Some of them were multiple exposure landscapes and I was able to find some older portaits. I then went onto Getty Images to see what they had and 90% of the multiple exposure photographs were digitally manipulated. Some of them were really good and interesting to look at but it is not what i want to do, because I think that it will be to time consuming for the amount of editing that would have to be done and I want the chance to work with Black and White film again.

Here are some of the photos that I found on google:



Must get on with researching so will be back in a couple of days with a productive update!!

Over and out!
