End Of Year Show

2009-06-11T18:43:00.008+01:00

I have now finished my time at college having completed a BTEC in ART + DESIGN achieving a Distinction Distinction Merit grade.

I'm third in from the left.

Here's some of my final major project of which I won a 'Digital Media: Photography' Award! :)

My theme was high speed photograhy - capturing events that the human eye cannot see. This then evolved into the work using multiple flash exposures during motion to show the movement in one image. I got a friend to perform Parkour - l'art du déplacement (the art of movement) and had two friends firing off flashes manually while I looked after the camera.

Beatles Ringo Starr and George Harrison on board aircraft, June 1964

I'm sure that a few Pentaxians have seen this classic photo of George Harrison apparently trying to figure out one of the dials of his new Pentax.

Business Cards

2008-12-28T01:00:00.009Z

I've spent the day designing my new business cards... it took four designs to get it right but it's looking pretty good now!

I've also opted to have photos on the back too this time.

I always get mine printed by Goodprint as they offer the best quality and at a reasonable cost.
