Summer flowers on film ...

Doesn't time fly?  I can hardly believe that it has been three months since I last posted on here!  I am sure that you probably haven't noticed either to be perfectly honest!  I am constantly falling in love with film, we have a very big love affair, the film camera and I!  I thought I would share some of the lovely summer flowers that I found around town over the summer months.  They were all taken on a Nikon FM2.

In my new photography course we are looking at photojournalists and I'm getting the bug for street photography!  I didn't think that I could do it, but have learnt that I just need to pop my own personal style on it.  Will show you those shots another time.

    

 

Lisa's lovely natural solutions ...

I love my job and I love my clients.  Particularly when they present me with a load of beautiful pots, jars, flowers, an old wooden chair and lots of lovely natural products!  Throw in a lovely bit of sunshine, some puppies wandering around and what a perfect photography job!  One of the best things about this job is just how lovely the products are, so not only do I have a great time shooting them but I actually want to endorse them and their creator, the lovely Lisa. 

Lisa makes each one of her organic products and aren't they just beautiful?  Biodegradable, no animal testing, a natural and simple skin care that anyone can use.  As if the pretty pots and divine inky blue glass bottles weren't draw enough?!  I couldn't resist getting a few items myself and think that they are wonderful.  A natural product that isn't sticky, leaves you feeling soft and is delicately scented.  The Honey and Beeswax lip balm is divine!  It really does make your lips kissable (come on Colin Farrell, I'm ready!) and beautifully soft and glossy.

 

To find out more about LJ's Natural Solutions or order some for yourself (they also make wonderful presents too) just visit Lisa's website.  Look out for the new product photographs going up on the website too in the next week or so.

Poppy at 1 on film!

 Happy birthday pretty little puss!

Impressionism | violating the rules

Breaking the rules! Having some fun and blurring the lines.  But look how the colours and light shine through.  Personal project #1 to keep the photographic magic alive!

 

 

A study in trunks ...

Tree trunks obviously!  I know what you were all thinking but please, this is a nature blog!

I've been thinking a lot lately about my style of photography and where I am going with it.  I have discovered that I love capturing images in an unobtrusive kind of way.  I like to look and think, to observe quietly and to show off all the details in a quiet, understated fashion.  Colours and shape are key, while pretty light is the cherry on top.

 

 

A trip to the seaside ...

Grab your suncream and beach towel, it's seaside weather!  Breathe in, fill your lungs with salt spray and the smell of fish and chips!  Ice cream, donkeys, sunshine, happy fun-filled days.
