Box Brownie!

I found this old "box brownie" camera at a boot sale once. I have never used it, but it is the subject of my latest test shoot!

Lost Property

Some shots I took the other day in the studio. When I photographed the abandoned cottage in Southwold I brought back some of the items I found to photograph; this is what I came up with.

Butterflies

Ginge

My late P. murinus tarantula, AKA 'orange bitey thing'

365?

A while back I decided to try one of these '365' photo challenges - that's one photo every day for a year. I never found the time to follow through with it - so much else going on, this seemed of little importance. Ah well, maybe next year! Anyhow, here's a few shots I did for it that I quite liked.

Some GIFs from the Outtakes!

Suspicious Matt

Despairing Jef

Southwold

Morning! I have just uploaded images to the new page called 'Southwold' - please take a look!

They are pictures of an abandoned cottage on an eroding cliff in Soutwold, a kind of voyeuristic documentary into the older inhabitants' life, I guess!

I collected some items from the house (sssh! ;) ) and will soon shoot some studio still lifes of them.

Phobias...an update so far!

Nearly half way through! Might see if I can do hundreds of these and do a book at some point in the future?!

Coming Soon!

I took some pictures inside an abandoned cottage on an eroding cliff a week or two ago. It was quite unsettling; although the family had been gone for years, it was like they were still there, almost like I got to know them over those two days...

Will upload all the photographs soon. Until then, here's this one to keep you going.

Phobias

I've now finished the first 9 of the 'phobia pictures' - only another 40 or 50 odd to go!

"Phobias Tests"

So recently I've been doing some test shoots for the last project on my degree. I'm photographing objects that people have irrational fears or phobias of. Some are universally known, some are ones I have come across, some of them are common, and some very unusual.

So far I'm just working out the best way to shoot them, so here are my latest test shots!

New Project Underway!

It's been a while! I've been working with 3 Objectives Photography recently (check them out on facebook or google them) and have now enrolled onto the last module of my BA Degree!

I'm going to be shooting still life images of things that people have phobias/irrational fears of. For example....sponges, cotton wool, toe socks, muffins, boxes...yes these are all genuine! Do you or someone you know have an unusual phobia? If so please feel free to get in touch!
