Taita Cricket Club photo session

This weekend I had the pleaseure of photographing Taita Cricket Club in their new kit. After James put a Facebook post on the Stokes Valley Community page explaining that I’d give free photography sessions if i can use the photos in my portfolio, a man from Taita Cricket Club asked if i’d come and takeContinueContinue reading “Taita Cricket Club photo session”

Things I am loving this week (and last week too)

I have had another busy few weeks, hence the lack of a one week update. The garden is now getting pretty grassy, but it’s still quite patchy. I have no idea what we’ve done to make it patchy; we used WAY more seed than was recommended, so who knows 🙂 Things I am loving thisContinueContinue reading “Things I am loving this week (and last week too)”

Portrait Session: Eden and Thyme

This weekend was my first portrait session, at the home of Eden and her little girl. I was quite nervous, as this is my first session, but I really didn’t need to be, as it was actually a really perfect session. We met at their home and I took about 400 photos all up! WeContinueContinue reading “Portrait Session: Eden and Thyme”

Photography: Week 14-16

The final stint – Scary! Week 14 This week is a week of taking – and then posting – practice photos for the final assignment. I didn’t manage to get very many of the practice photos completed, but I did manage to get the few that I DID take uploaded and ready for comment. WeekContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 14-16”

Things I am loving this week

I have had a busy week. My brain cogs have been working away. I think I’m really getting into the swing of the new job. I think. The garden is now a waiting game…waiting to see how the grass seed grows and waiting to see if the drainage situation has been fixed. The rain isContinueContinue reading “Things I am loving this week”

Photography: Week 13

No more lockdown. Yay. Week 13 This has been another interesting week due to the weather. It’s been super windy with a fair amount of rain! It’s been a little bit easier to take my night photos this time, as I had planned a bit better than my last attempt. James and I drove aboutContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 13”

Photography: Week 12

Another week of lockdown photography. Week 12 This has been another interesting week due to the ongoing lockdown, this time Level 2 restrictions. The learning materials for this week focus on night photography, in preparation for the assignment next week, which is a night photo (funnily enough). It’s been a little bit easier to takeContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 12”

Photography: Week 11

Lockdown photography is not ideal. Week 11 This week has been interesting due to lockdown. The learning materials for this week are all about architecture photography, in preparation from the assignment next week (Night Architecture). It’s not my favourite type of photography to take. I love looking at a good architectural photo, but I justContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 11”

Photography: Week 9 & 10

This last few weeks were a little bit of a failure! Week 9 Throughout this week I was supposed to conduct research into landscape photography and then take a few practice photos to prepare myself for Assignment C, which is all about Landscape photography. However, I didn’t do that this week because I didn’t readContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 9 & 10”

Photography: Week 8

I had to undertake research this week – it’s the first time I’ve done that in a long time! Week 8 This week I researched two terms: Contre-JourChiaroscuro Contre-Jour is a French term, and it basically refers to when the photo is taken with the light behind the subject. Backlighting in other words. Usually thisContinueContinue reading “Photography: Week 8”
