Unrequited Love

Today's photo shoot with Dan modelling was inspired by nostalgia and eccentricity. Before venturing off into the woods we stopped at a florists and asked for a bunch of dying flowers; luckily they had a decent amount including dying roses which was perfect for the look I wanted to capture. I asked my model to bring a range of different bold print shirts and we used tiny gems around his eyes. I wanted there to be a sense of unrequited love to the series which I feel that I achieved. It was a horribly cold day and I felt so bad for making my model go topless so I could throw a bag of glitter over him!









I'm going to University!

A few weeks back now I was invited to an interview down at Falmouth University for a potential place studying a BA Hons in Fashion Photography, something I have wanted to do ever since I found out that Falmouth had this course. I was put into a group with three other interviewees and two girls who are already on the course now and we were shown around the campus until our interview at 12pm. Everything was really casual and informal which made the whole experience a lot more relaxing. The facilities at the University were unbelievable and the accommodation was really modern and clean. The interview was a lot like speed dating; you remain seated and two lecturers and two second year students move round and ask you quick fire questions for five minutes. They then have a flick through your portfolio and ask you a few questions about your photographs and then you leave your work there for them to assess it once you leave. Well two days later (minus the weekend) in the evening I got an email from UCAS saying something had changed on my application and after much preparation and deep breaths I discovered I got an unconditional!! I immediately confirmed it as my firm choice and will be starting on the 23rd September 2013.
