Empty Landscape

This week I was looking through past study notes and came across notes, from a lecture about working in isolation, by Stephanie Owens, Art University Plymouth. This was a lecture, in response to being at art school at the start of a pandemic. It was suggested that we might look at artists who were drawn to empty landscapes, Edward Hopper being one such artist. As soon as i saw the painting Cape…

I did a "pattern cutting for beginners" short course @plymouthcollegeofart at the beginning of the year. This is the top I made for myself and have just got round to finishing. Especially pleased with how the pintucks turned out as I had never done those before. A big Thanks to our tutor Jerry Moore for his patience and expertise! #patterncutting #shortcourses #plymouthcollegeofart #sewing #pintucks https://www.instagram.com/p/BzFwVXBl5Tc/?igshid=1w2ijjwdwttnt

I had taken my camera down to my local park on a foggy, damp day. I started walking around the park and looking at the cut down trees with no leaves or branches, a lot of them dripping rain drops on my face as I walk under them. As I am walking around admiring the park, like I always do, I pulled my camera out and started taking close up images of the cut down stumps and the moss growing out of the ground. I think that this park is beautiful, it has been this beautiful ever since I was young and I always remember it the same, the only thing that changes is the colour of the leaves when the seasons change. Because of the dark damp weather I had to set my aperture on my camera down to roughly F/3 and had my shutter speed at about 2 or 3 seconds with each shot. I had also set my ISO to 160, I slowly walked along the whole giant park looking at each tree and gazing at how amazing it was. I hate knowing that these giant trees were cut down and destroyed, they were breathtaking years ago and now they serve as seats for teens who loiter in the park. It still amazes me that life continues to grow within the stumps and the branches, the moss growing around the stumps and the fungi growing out the sides, it’s amazing how nature works and how its so stunning. I am forever in awe of this park and how even its close up beauty leaves me feeling at peace.

The arrivals

The MS Oldenburg arriving at the Jetty on Lundy Island The boat is a crucial link for the Island, it’s a lifeline for the Island as it not only brings passengers but supplies and communications from the mainland. One Autumn day, I sat watching the boat arrive at the Jetty, I penned a few observational notes, what follows is the result. I watch and wait as she arrives, from Bideford she set…

MONDAY 16TH JANUARY 2017 - 3D/STILL LIFE FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOSHOOT

Since part of our project has to include a 3D aspect, we were given an introduction to food photography to give us an idea of how we can create different compositions as well as using lighting to create the most effective shot. I’m quite happy with these outcomes because the backgrounds are quite white due to a good use of the lighting equipment and taking it into Photoshop and making it brighter. This session was really helpful to me because I have a few ideas of what I can do for the 3D portion of the project and have a greater understanding of how I can use the lights to my advantage. Another reason why we did this photoshoot was to give us some more cultural awareness and understanding of different culture’s foods in comparison to ours. We also had some pots and bowls that were relevant to the different cultures as well which was quite interesting. I brought in chopsticks and a Chinese style bowl although I didn’t use them in my pictures because there were already enough props that suited what I wanted to do.
