Tutorial with Jane....

After having a tutorial with jane about how my work based learning is coming along, she suggested I post some information on what I have lined up for the project so far. I have a couple freelance jobs lined up; one of which is of Louise, a heavily pregnant woman who contacted me about having some photographs of her, her partner and her baby bump. She is also interesting in a follow-up shoot once her baby is born.

Few edited test shots...

Hi, my name is Nev.

First Test shoot. Digital....

Quick edit

My idea for Formal Intervention was to photograph close friends and/or family members, just standard head and shoulder portraits and then either place a physical object onto their face during the shoot or to scratch my intervention onto the negative. I will try a few differnt techniques to see what works better. I will also try using laminate to draw onto and place over the neg. I did a digital test shoot in the small studio to get an idea of how the portraits may look before editing them...

Lionel Deluy...

Recently i found out about a photographer called Lionel Deluy, he also became a huge inspiration when it came to ideas for my 'Formal Intervention' project. The overall look of his images seem really raw, which i like. No airbrushing or removing imperfections, which is the total oppisite of Rankins work. Once again, check out Lionel Deluys website, its wicked.

Rankin...

Thought I'd start by posting a cheeky link to Rankin's website, he was the starting point for my inspiration on our current 'Formal Intervention' project. I'd studied his work previously when i was on ND and it blew me away. If you havent already seen it, check it out.
