Feels as if i have learnt a lot this year, but can't help but feel i should have gotten more out of it, from the university's side of things, maybe it was the free memory card reader on the first day (wish is as slow as global warming) rested the question of, is Uni really worth it? still unsure, I will let you know in the second year.

Co-op Shoot
Back in Bournemouth after 16hours of driving covering 830miles, the length of England in
2days, NEVER AGAIN!
The shoot went as well as it could bar forgetting to shoot an important stand which i forgot to do, but thankfully with a little help with photoshop, i put one together and the client was very happy with the final set of images. So much so, he has book me for another Shoot in June, a 2day for Co-op again.
here are some of the best images from the north east.

Networking-Co-op
Nothing for weeks, then out of the blue, an email asking if i would like to an "unchallenging" shoot for Co-op in Newcastle, images of the store and products for next seasons turn around, images to go around the country to every Co-op store, expenses, hotel and travel costs paid for on top of pay. "the shoots on Sunday, can you make it" this being Friday and i'm in Bournemouth, couldn't be further from Newcastle if i tried, but of course i said yes.
I asked to be sent some examples of previous images and i would be bullshitting you if i said i wasnt blow away from the examples given. which thankfully took a lot of pressure off me.
Here are some of the examples of past shoots.
Pack shots
Store shots
So, i have now got a 7hour drive from Bournemouth to the north west on my own, shoot at 7pm-2am, hopefully sleep for a few hours, then turn around and drive back 7hours to crack on with any post production needed.
will let you know how it goes.

Memories of Old
"Anne"
"Anne" the moment when say told me her hardest memory was when, "my son died" "thats all im going to say!"
"Joyce"
"Joyce" recalling the time she lost her hearing.
"June"
"June" as she talks about her 11th birthday, her family were all in a car accident. Here she tells me how her mothers head was "crushed" and her neck was badly cut, she spent 11months in hospital.

Gaia Fashion
For the shoot, i pulled together two blackout/reflector boards in studio to make a fake wall, i then cover it in newspaper, ones i had everything correct, i pulled the model into the scene and did the same to her. wrapping paper from the floor to her chest to represent a fashionable dress whilst still looking as if she was part of the set.
Here is the final image.
Once i had completed this look, i need to achieve my landscape shot. For this, i used the same concept, but replaced the paper with plastic bags. I then used a large "Primark" fitted and structured around the model as a fashionable dress.
Here is the final outcome.
I have now started on turning the first image into a front page of a magazine. I chose "iD" and here is a little something im working on.
Let me know what you think.
