Combine Harvester !

I've been waiting for this day for weeks !, i love watching the combine working in the fields and love taking photographs of it. When watching the combine it always looks like it's going super slow but before you know it an hour has gone and so has half a field of crops, this may be why i was surprised to find i'd taken so many photographs just standing there watching, i thought i'd only taking half of the amount i put on my computer, so i was pretty impressed. There was one perfect photograph i was waiting to take as the sun was setting, but he didn't come and finish the last little bit, so i'm still waiting !, but for now here are a few.. enjoy

Body Portraits

Whilst browsing my favorite place for inspiration, pinterest i came across multiple images of just hands, ears, legs etc, in black and white. I really liked this idea of having a portrait but no actual form of identity, so whilst saving for a few little bits of war militaria i need for a shoot I'm planning i decided I'd so this black and white body portraits shoot, thinking it would be simple do to. I was wrong !, taking a photograph of just one part of a person is trickier than it actually looks getting the composition just right was a challenge. In college i was always told to think of simple idea's (something i find difficult), so this is why I'm a little confused as to why i can take more complicated pictures and be so much more pleased with them, than taking a 'simple' picture of just one thing with nothing going on around it or little emotion shown and not enjoy it or love it as much as i would my other work. 

I'm really not pleased with these photographs, but i guess it's just trial and error, I'm going to put a few on here so you can see, but these aren't my best photographs, or the ones i love the most, i will keep taking the same style pictures and update this post, but as of yet I'm not thrilled with the set.

I will also  post a new blog of my plans for my next shoot, which i cannot wait to do ! it's not a pretty girly one with floaty dresses and sparkle, it's far from it, a plan will appear soon :) 

A Princess In The Garden.

A Princess

Yesterday i did my second shoot of the summer holidays, but due to being unable to get to my location the photographs are shot in my garden and surrounding fields. Poses and inspiration i found on flickr and pinterest. The make up was done by me :) & the model is my cousin, so thankyou Jasmine for sitting in the garden in the cold wind !, there will be a few more photo's added later on, as i'm still trying to master 'floating' images.

The top 2 photographs are my favourite from the shoot !
