We're not in Wonderland...

Last Thursday I had a shoot with Hannah, Grace and Jen up at Ashton Court. It was lots of fun however to say it was cold would probably be an understatement as everyone was wrapped in coats and jumpers whilst we weren't shooting! I had frozen finger tips (note to self wear gloves!) but it was still a good day and we got lots of pictures!

The theme was based on escapism and somewhere between dreaming and reality... with a subtle hint of Alice in Wonderland. I made the tent whilst hair and make up were being completed, I kind of just wanted to stay in there it was awesome!

I'm still working my way through editing them but I couldn't wait any longer before posting some so here you are!:

What do you think? You can head on over to my Facebook page to see BTS pictures and 'like' it to keep up to date with what I'm up too!

Chloe!

And Jens awesome fascinators here

Horrah

So I got my feedback for the last two modules today, professional practice (website, CV design etc..) and vantage point (project 99 to you and me) and I got a 2.1 on both projects! I am VERY proud of myself, I put a lot of effort into both. Last year I was terrible and got a third, I didn't put any effort in at all really, I hated my projects, therefore wouldn't really get stuck into things, however I made a promise to myself that this year I would do what I wanted to do, and even if things weren't going my way I would persevere and make it right. I think it shows with a massive improvement in grades so hopefully I can continue doing this well and get a 2.1 or higher on my next projects!

Hope everyones having a good week,

Chloe !

Deadlines...

Today was the first deadline for the professional practice module, we had to make a website, write an artist CV and do a group presentation amongst many other things, finally handed that all in today, such a RELIEF to not have to worry about it anymore! Only got the photographic project with discourse (or 99 to you and me!) to hand in on Thursday and I am officially done with uni for the year! (yay!)
We have to produce a final piece for our project so I decided to get my pictures printed in a little book as I think it's very personal and has a strong nostalgic feel to it. I also got the three pictures in my other post printed and framed, I'll post a photo of them soon!

This is my book which arrived this morning, I love it!

Chloe !

*side note, if you're interested in buying any of my prints framed/unframed let me know and I'll work a reasonable price out

99

I've decided to put all the images from my project into a book so when it arrives (which I so hope is before the 15th!) I'll take some snaps and put them on here!

But I'm also going to get these printed to go on the wall :

Let me know what you think!
Chloe !

Weather

I hate the weather... I planned to go out Sunday and take some final images for my 99 project, however as soon as I was stood in front of the first van the heavens opened and the rain poured... now I know I shouldn't let that get in the way and I should be persistent... but this is the third time it's happened on this project and with ice cream vans and nostalgia being my theme I kinda need the sun on my side. But bleh ohwell :(

Now I have to finish of my essay and my presentation, write an artist CV, analyse it and many other things!

Chloe !

Future...

So I had a tutorial with one of my tutors yesterday and he asked me what direction I wanted to go with photography, and I replied fashion and told him who I admired (Tim Walker, Nick Knight, Rankin etc) and I then said "but I haven't actually done any fashion based work since being on the course (for a year and a half)" And he was like :| DO IT! (in a nice way!) Which was a big reality check! I've been planning my own stuff on the side, which I'll blog about soon, but I just need to get my bum in gear! The project next term outlines that we have to use another medium as well as photography- ie: Screen printing, set design, prop making, sewing etc.. So that kinda allows me the freedom to make some awesome props and costume and do some awesome fashion stuff! I'm going to spend the whole of the Christmas holidays just planning shoots so as soon as we start back and get the brief I can book the studio literally once a week and do lots of shoots and make tonnes of props and start building a fashion portfolio and do what I want to do!
