My Work : More Emotion Grids





I did four more emotion grid shoots for my photography exam on tuesday. I was supposed to do them on film but i was using a new camera so hadn't got the hang of the controls yet leading to a basically blank film except for the shoot with the dark haired girl. Luckily I did a back up Digital one for each so can just print it on acetate and print manually in the darkroom.

My Work : A Few Oldies






Riot Grrrl



I previously posted the Guardian Newspapers article of whether the messages of the Riot Grrrl music scene and zine of the 90s is still relevant now. During a slight obsessive moment of buying all of the music and looking up the history, I came across some pages from the zine (founded by Kathleen Hanna the lead in Bikini Kill and Le Tigre). It seems to me that all of the problems that they were trying to tackle are still big issues now. I'm sure most women and girls of all ages get harrassed often when walking down the street (especially young girls by older men) and wonder why boys aren't called sluts when they're just as bad if not worse than the girls.

My Work : Blue





A pretty simple assignment for Similarities and Differences.

My Work : Emotion Grid


Did this shoot yesterday lunchtime with the adorable Francesca for my photography exam. It was inspired by the Corrine Day grid of Kate Moss and i took it on my Canon 1000D on manual. Luckily the lighting was almost perfect. Now I've got to shoot a similiar thing with different people using film to experiment with in the darkroom.
