Balham

I had a little wander around some of Balham the other day, I quite like some of the photos I ended up with

I really REALLY love this photo, maybe I should put some Helvetica across it or something, haha

It was a nice little explore anyway

Turbo Project

I just wanted to share the results of about 12 hours INTENSIVE work. One of my friends has been writing a play for a while now and approached me a while back about actually filming part of it to show to an audience. It took us about 2 hours to film, then what felt like a million to edit the whole thing and get it burned to a DVD, working until 3am was very worth while though and everyone was happy at the end of the day. I'm happy to see my first credit as Director of Photography too, yay!
For your viewing pleasure:

End of the year!

Well I haven't been updating a lot lately due to an essay proposal being due, then my wisdom tooth deciding to make an appearance, but here's a little update on what I've been doing:
I had a little experiment with overlapping videos using two projectors. I used the footage I've collected of underpasses. I really like the way the images interact as they play over each other. The actual video is a sped up version of the event, just because it's more of a documentation of what occurred rather than a piece in itself.

I've finally had an idea of what to do with all these photos of underpasses and abandoned buildings that I've been taking. I've had a little experiment with putting the photos in frames and actually putting them up in public spaces, such as the underpasses I've been photographing:

People seemed to react in a favourable way as they walked passed too, smiling, which I didn't expect but felt really nice. I want to move on with this idea over the summer and actually start leaving pictures in places, especially abandoned buildings. I really like the idea of only a very small group of people actually seeing them, I think that's just because of the whole chance encounter idea. Maybe it's just about showing people that they weren't the first ones into a space, I haven't worked it out yet.
Anyway, we're setting up for our final assessments today, so this is the state of my studio space at the end of year 2:

It's taken me a long time to decide what to actually do with these images, but now I have an idea I'm quite happy that I can run with it for a while. I feel like I could have done more work this year, but hopefully I can make up for it!
