'In five years time where will you be....' - Well hopefully making images like Carlos Arroyo Galaxia

With two new projects beginning and a New Years Resolution not to leave work to the last minute, I have gained the excitement back for my course that I lost thanks to the 'Contemporary Technologies' project... finally I get to photograph my own images again and this time decide my own brief, be in control of EXACTLY what I want to do. However, the daunting thing is, what is it that I exactly want to do? At 20 I feel that life is still an open book and I am young enough to not know, but in reality I finish university in just over a year and then am thrown into the big bad world. With my 'Negotiated Practices' project, my tutor has asked us all to fill in a form all about where we see ourselves in 5 years time. Well for me, hopefully as a successful band reportage or editorial photographer but in the current climate it's more likely I'll be alone, jobless and penniless with a very nice camera to keep me company.

Therefore in light of this what am I doing, where am I going melltdown, I decided to actually do something about what I want to do and really start researching into well, photography, so that my next two projects will be all about me, my style, what I like and what I want to create. I have started to think about doing more work experience (the last couple of days I have spent with fashion photographer Victor de Mello, assisting his shoot for the Sunday Times Style Magazine) as well as really researching into photographers and I happened to stumble across the beautiful work of Carlos Arroyo Galaxia in 'Dazed and Confused'. He is a Spanish born photographer who captures his subjects with 35mm film focusing on the space of others, both happy and melancholy. His new project 'I Wish You Were Me' shows almost an obsession with bedrooms and how they relate to people, something that I have been looking into doing for my 'Photographic Bookwork' project as people's bedrooms have always been an interest to me and therefore his work really fascinated me.

For now I leave you with some of my favourite shots from his new project and hope you love them as much as I do!
