Okay, now i know it's been a while

I've been suffering a severe mental block of late. So basically no knew photos, idea or blog posts for a little while longer. But hopefully my dilber will help me out of it.



A modest beauty

So the other day, my stupidly photogenic friend allowed me to take photos of her.

She's amazingly game when it comes to being my model and I have to love her for it. She likes my ideas and comes up with some pretty good ones of her own

I think her face looks stunning here in her reflection, even though it's blurry she looks very regal

I got her to mess around with a scarf she had and i thought these 3 images worked very well together in this tryptich

And just to show how game she is as my model here are some photos from two years ago when she was my ophelia



A little late of halloween

So yeah, it's a little while past halloween, but i was just so proud of my pumpkin I feel I don't care...

 So yeah these are the three sides of my pumpkin, i left one for my sister but she wasnt interested.

To be fair this year i did scrape the insides of this bad boy out... twas icky

So yeah, TRICK OR TREAT!

So I'm back...

So yeah after all this time, I'm back :)

I have some photographs from a little while ago, but I love the sky in these. I feel a bit of a renaissance channelling through these.

So yeah, hopefully my next post will be a tad more interesting



So I won't be posting for a while

Basically my computer's kinda died so i dont have any pictures to put up, and as this is only a ttemporary measure I should be back to posting pretty soon.

However up until my computer is fixed it's toodles.

And just to leave you with something, this was me when i was cute



Miranda in Pergolaland

So she folled the mad hatter down the rabbit hole and ended up on hamstead heath...

But she looks very pretty here

Well i know these were many photos, however a picture's worth a thousand words so basically you've just read a disitation...

Will post again soon :)



Now for something a little sketchy....

So I was going through my old sketchbooks and I thought that I might just share some of my old work with you.

Some of this was done in Berlin and Madrid on school trips and others is just my school work and own projects.

Hope they don't bore you too greatly :P

So yeah here are a few of the bits and pieces I liked best.

I'm continuing with the dance thing and hopefully by the time the summer exhibition at the RA comes up I will have my film finished and maybe it'll be there :)



A little bit of Degas

So me and my dad went to the RA yesterday to check out the DEGAS AND THE BALLET exhibiton.

I'm not gonig to lie, many of the more recent shows I have seen at the RA have been dreadfully currated (British sculpture exhibiton left much to be desired and the summer exhibition this year was the worst I've seen).

The Degas exhibition however overreached all expectations and was well created and filled with the majority of his works as well as some works of Eadweard Muybridge and other capturers of movement.

So this blog is going to be dedicated to my favourite images from the exhibition which I totally recommend people going to.

Both my dad and I loved this image of Degas's. I like it because of the use of colour and how all three dancers share the same qualities between them.

It also helps that they remind me of me and my ballet girls.

And finally a bit of Muybridge

The exhibition has made me want to capture movement in a more expressive manner now so watch out for some Muybridgesque photographs or Degas like sketches

i do believe in faires, i do, i do

So basically i was very bored one day and decided to take a walk around queens wood.

While i was there i snuck up on this fairy i saw in the sunlight and stalked her for a while.

Creepy i know, but so totally worth it.

 The quality of light while i was out looked great as it burst through the leaves and hit her.

I caught her shadow as she flittered between the trees and then...

 I finally caught her at a moment of pause as she basked in the sunlight...

Then she caught me watching her and hid...
