Spot The Difference.

Spot The Difference.



Ever looked through a magazine and thought to yourself how beautiful the girl is, how thin she is, blemish free and how smooth her skin is?  How she looks so perfect? I am sure a lot of us have, but ever wondered what she looked like before all that makeup, before all the editing and the airbrushing.

This is Qatar.

This is Qatar.



As most of you know i was previously living in Qatar before i came back to England to finish Further Education. The first question i get when i mention Qatar is "What is it like?" and then i have to give a long detailed explanation of what Qatar is like and the lovely people that make the country, then generally someone else will butt into the conversation and want me to explain again; but now i can just direct them to this post. I will let the pictures and the Videos speak for themselves. ( There are 2 videos that start automatically so make sure your sound is not full volume, scroll down and pause them then read the rest of the post!

3 Amazing Videos.

3 Amazing Videos.

Hey everyone so i thought i would share with you 3 videos shot by a DSLR 5D mark II because i think their absolutely amazing, the quality, the atmosphere, just everything is breath taking. If your serious about  taking videos i defiantly recommend buying a camera like this.

What do you think?

What do you think?


This is personally my favourite photo.

Ever since starting photography I have noticed everyone has their own opinion to what is a good photograph and what isn't but then again everyone is different. People are not usually in a state of complete equanimity when looking at a piece of work due to the fact of being brought up in different cultural, religious and social environments where expectations and ideas differ.

2nd Assignment - Inspired by...

2nd Assignment - Inspired by...



So after the first Assignment we got the next one two weeks ago called "Inspired by..." this gave me an opportunity to research different Photographers and do a project inspired by one of them. I thought of Pieter Hugo straight away as he is one of my favorite photographers.

Children in Need

Children in Need

I was asked to photograph Children in Need, Blackpool, with three others in my class. Children in need is a huge event that happens once a year in November when all the big celebrities perform, singing, dancing and doing anything crazy to help raise money.

No room for Misconception.

No room for Misconception.

Man: “How old are you?”
Me: “Over 18”
Man: “Oh then I bet you’re gonna be out this weekend down at the pub partying”
Me: “No actually I have college work to do and seeing my Godparents”
Man: (laughs) “Yeah yeah, common your over 18, I bet you’ll be getting out on the town”
Me: No I already told you, I’m seeing my family and have college work to do”
Man: Yeah sure *winks*

I get this on an occasional basis, where people automatically assume something about me before even knowing me but because I am over 18 or British, they think I must be doing what the majority do too.

1st assignment - The interview

1st assignment - The interview


As most of you all know I started college and I was put in the 2nd year straight away. I was excited yet apprehensive as everyone in the class knew each other from the previous year and then there was just ME and they knew how all the assignments worked and the grading system etc. We got our first assignment and it was to create a magazine layout; we had to interview someone, take photos of them and then create the whole spread to fit into the style of a magazine we chose. We have had 6 weeks to do it which is plenty of time to research, take the photos and create the layout however 6weeks came by so quickly, by the time I knew it, it was already the deadline date. Of course the first magazine I thought of was Vogue and I had previously done a photo shoot with a boy called Jack so I decided to do the interview of him and take new photos.

My other side died, and now what’s left is half of me.

My other side died, and now what’s left is half of me.


If your Squeamish Look away now. My mother saw one of the photos and that was enough for her to not look at the rest. I took these photos just randomly the other day inspired by the whole Halloween atmosphere and of course i incorporated Fashion to the shoot. Excuse me if there's mistakes in the little piece of writing below i wrote it last night very quickly before i went to bed.

Courage

Courage

As I arrived in England the first thing that came to my mind was the fact I needed to find somewhere to prosper and learn about photography since I originally thought I was going to finish off my A Levels but things changed and I got onto a photography course instead. All it was, was a quick search on Google, an email sent and Tadaa I am now a member of the Preston Photography Society and I attend once a week. With a bit of courage and determination, you can do the same, if you’re a photographer, an artist, or have any other talent, Google is just a few clicks away and search for any workshops, clubs, events that are happening around you! I can assure you it will do you a world of good.

The Beginning of the Journey;

The Beginning of the Journey
I was reconsidering the whole idea of continuing with the blog since I’ve already got three other websites running continuously and I actually never have time for myself, but after a long debate with myself and people bombarding me with messages to carry on writing, I will start posting once a week on a Friday about what it’s like to be an aspiring photographer and the thoughts and battles I have within me about certain subjects.

I have now moved to sunny England and I’ve just started a photography course.

Society In A Box

Society in a box
Peace is not the absence of war but the presence of justice.

Mystery is something difficult to understand or explain. Society all over the world has come to the idea that it’s okay for the government to kill innocent, and for them to steal our money, and that poverty is something no one can tackle, the world today is corrupted, with war, famine, abuse, poverty, murders, lies and much more, yet we all sit and watch it on the TV, or read it in a newspaper but cannot do anything. Poverty, natural disasters, mass murders are all becoming day to day things that just pass us by and we just don’t realize what’s happening in the world. Emotions  are not shown in people’s faces anymore, someone may smile but inside they feel grief or pain, we don’t realize it until we really look into their eyes, but only for a glimpse do we really know what they feel.

Selina Farooqui





Before I start I’ll clarify to those who are reading from other parts of the world. I am based in Qatar, a little country next to Dubai. No not Dubai, NEXT to Dubai. It’s developing vastly and it is holding the 2022 world cup.
