Travel- Its Oxygen to me (Part 2)

Hey readers, so this is Part 2 from last week!

Daily Dose of Inspiration.

Daily Dose of Inspiration.

Hey guys, so I found these images a few weeks ago and wanted to show you them. Is technology taking over? What do you think? Well I personally think the idea behind these photos are really unoriginal because thousands upon thousands of people have done photos about technology taking over BUT I love how these photos have been taken, the manipulation and just the overall atmosphere.

Hello my lovely Readers once again, 
Here are some random photos I took a while back. I really love night photography and only really got a chance to do it recently when I got my self a tripod. Hope you all like them! 


I have traveled allot though out my life, I got my first passport when I was 3 months old- my mother holding me from under my dress in a studio as I looked blankly in to the camera.

No more tangerine skies.

No more tangerine skies.

I've noticed there is so much negativity on the net, everyone complaining they can’t afford something, or they can’t do something or complaining they can’t get somewhere in life. It baffles me because all the opportunities are right in front of us. I guess if everyone stopped procrastinating, and looked beyond the "I can’t, I will never" mentality... I’m sure mountains of opportunities are awaiting you.

Never heard of him? Well hes storming through the photography industry right now! The Chinese photographer from Beijing, specializing in advertising, fashion and editorial assignments, is creating some breath taking work! In 2007 he was awarded “Photographer of the Year” by Esquire magazine. I love his work!

An Interview with Alim Salahud-din.

An Interview with Alim Salahud-din.

Hey readers, 

"Alim Salahud-din is an American visual artist, designer, artrepreneur and all-around creative, currently residing in Doha, Qatar."

I have known Alim for quite a while now, and I personally love every single piece of Art work he has ever done. His work is so inspiring, so edgy and defiantly different. I have always looked up to him, and his art work has something so capturing about it all. I decided why not do a mini interview and show you all some of his work!

Confessions of a brand addict.

Confessions of a brand addict.


Well i must confess to you all, i used to be a brand addict when i was younger, all i wanted was to wear designer clothes, i saw all these rich celebrities wearing brands and everyone worshiped them, everyone respected them and looked up to them. So i thought if i wore designer brands everyone would look up to me. Of course now i look back at that and think what an idiot, but then i also think Thank god it happened when i was younger, because i know many people who are brand addicts in their late teens and 20+ years.

Stress Increase.

Hey all , I hope you had a great weekend, and if you didn't see the video I posted, you should, it’s totally the truth about the industry and it made me laugh. This post is going to be quite short (I say that every time and end up writing a lot), but seriously it’s just a quick post and you can have a look at some photos I took last week.

This commercial isn't real, neither are society's standards of beauty.

Wild Hearts

"As the city burned every night id be there on the ledge ready to fly...."

Wild Hearts

Hey guys , so i decided to create a little story for you, Enjoy! 

Imagine emotions metaphorically, literally and physically walking down my spine, i turn from hells warmth to the most painful icy statue, i cannot move, i cannot speak, nor hear, but i feel, i feel the sudden rush of freedom in my veins. 

Lets break the Rules

Lets break the Rules

When doing something creative there always seems to be someone telling you "no your doing it wrong" or "its suppose to be like this", sometimes i feel like just screaming at them and telling them this is my work and let me do it how i want to do it. Ever felt like that? I guess if we all did it 'right' we would all have the same type of images, we would all have the same style and the same ideas.

2012 is here.

2012 is here.

So its 2012 now and lets speak in terms that it is actually going to be the end of the world. Who is actually ready to die this year? And honestly say they made the most of all the opportunities they had, no regrets, have been true to them selves and others; they’ve helped others and they have sacrificed aspects of their life to create a better future, basically lived their life to the fullest.

Video Assignment & Preview

Hey Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with friends and family!
So this is a video i had made for an assignment, its the exploration between two people in a relationship. I only saw 3 other videos from my class that had been made and they were all great, first time creating a video and i must say really loved the ones i had seen. Click the link below to see the video i created!

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.

World Skills Event

World Skills Event

About a month ago I was selected to go to London with the dancers from my college to photograph them perform as well backstage hair and makeup. I actually thought it would be quite easy but boy I was wrong! After a seven hour journey all the way to London on a coach, We arrived at Excel London for the rehearsals late evening.

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.
