Garry Fabian Miller

For Christmas Santa left me Garry Fabian Miller's book 'The Colour of Time' after seeing some of his work at the V&A and falling in love with it. Miller's work are all done without a camera and he creates mysterious, abstract colourful work which you can completely loose yourself in! Although the book is fantastic his work is definitely one you need to see in the "flesh".

Thank you Santa for the beautiful book that I adore!

My Christmas Cake

Well I realise it has nothing to do with photography but here is another passion of mine. Decorating cakes! Every year I always decorate the Christmas cake with a different theme and always make them a little humorous!, this year it was a Gingerbread Man Party! This one took me a total of 5 hours so you better LOVE IT! I am really proud of it and in my own opinion, think it looks great but let me know what you think!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Pop Art

A few weeks ago I did a post about my Contemporary Technologies project and how I was making Pop Art. The first examples I showed I had literally just coloured in a still from The XX "VCR" video (not very sophisticated) so now I have my digital examples to show you. Created using Photoshop and a lot of patience!

I know they are really just copying Andy Warhol's style but I am trying a few different Pop Art styles I have researched in order to find my own style, and show what I am really trying to say with them. I know that Pop Art is really dealing with popular culture at the time and so I really need to go through the parts bin and find a perfect subject matter. But for now I hope you like my Warhol inspired images!

Water Reflections

Just a test shoot on a new idea I am doing with my Themes and Responses project. It contrasts to my photogram's idea as it shows how natural land coexists with man made land to create beauty, whereas my photograms concentrate on how the lands beauty is destroyed by man made materials.

These were just tests images and are not how I envisaged my idea but I think they are beautiful shots and am going to work hard to work with reflections in the water, not actual objects in the water. I hope you like them.
