Vanity

What is vain? How do you become to vain? Can you be to vain or to unvain?

Or is there. Do we just hope that there is more?

Sun Burst


Some say that a sunset is romantic, tranquil, uplifting and beautiful. No one can refuse that a sunset at its paramount is stunning to the eye and can transcend just beauty when shared with a person you love, embracing that second were everything comes together. The senses overwhelmed, feeling emotions of love, happiness, the sight of the sun reflecting off the clouds dazzling you with warm, invoking and provocative reds. Combined with the sight of seeing your love enjoying the moment with you, and embracing them just enhances the sensation ten fold and becomes imbedded into your memory like a picture in time, to see and remember for all time. Think about it! What do you think?

Identity






This is another piece of work that is about the human form. For this project I tried to take the sexuality, individuality and identity away from the subject, so that the audience does not just look at the photo and see it in one go. They have to explore the photo and engage with it to figure out what they are looking at.  I wanted to create a facade of mystery with in the image, hence why the image is in black and white and the vast majority of the image is empty space. In addition there is only a small amount of light on the subject, to illuminate their body.
A bit of info, the camera used was a Canon EOS 450D with a 50mm lenses and one pro light with a snoot in a studio.

human form





This work is about looking at the human form. My idea was to try and make the human body, resemble white marble statues. I chose to use a male model in this as I think you can get more androgens poses that take away then sexuality and identity of the person so you can objectify them. I like they way in which I have only captured parts of the nude, using a harsh light that makes the nude blend into the background, making them intertwine. This has created an atmosphere of piece, serenity and purity. In doing so makes it more about art and substance than sexual desire and voyeurism.  These pictures were taken on a medium format camera, Hasselblad 500c with 120 black and white film, a studio, pro lights, a sink lead and a light meter. These photographs have been developed and printed by me and then I have scanned them onto a computer, which is why there is some dust. Which I do apologise for as that is not the best of quality. However I hope you enjoy. 

Also if u like this style or are interested in nude photography, two of my favourite photographers are Robert Mapplethorpe and Edward Weston.
