Treated myself to a new camera recently, mainly so I can document my projects better for my portfolio but always so I can have a bash at photography. I really like these high contrast black and white photos and I’ve been teaching myself through retouching the photos I took today to get that effect. I found a really great tutorial online with a crazy french guy called Serge Remelli and this is my first picture…actually pretty pleased with it. I’ve been using lightroom instead of photoshop, all the tools that you find in lightroom can be found in photoshop but I just prefer how it’s laid out for this sort of stuff. Still need some practice and more time to sit down and pick out more detail etc.
We’ve got 4 huge floors to illustrate all over at the landing media city! Can’t wait to start!
Just found these by Kit Kat - I think they’re brilliant. Obviously advertising one of their competitions in which the prize involves reading the wrapper and I’m guessing entering the code somewhere, which most people (I’m assuming) throw away before doing so.
1967 Alfa Romeo Spider
The Enclave is an up and coming film by Richard Mosse, shot on 16mm Arriflex which was a film developed in the 40’s by Kodak and the US Government apparently as some sort of infrared, to spot enemies. It has however provided Mosse with an interesting tool to create this film, not only does it look amazing, trippy, sort of other worldly but creates as he says a nice metaphor for the unseen, the pink I think makes the sort of sadness and violence of war stand out more as it’s obviously a colour you would not associate with it.
Picked up some great stuff today at from a collector, he has a small yard near me in Cheadle and has 2 potto cabins absolutely packed with stuff…spent ages routing around and walked away with a couple of great things got an old ilford sportsman and a a load of film for 20 quid and the best find was an early edition of David Livingstone’s first adventure through Africa for a tenner with some amazing illustrations in there and the bonus…just done a little online search and there’s people selling the book for £100! So absolute bargain and great find!

Our Union is holding a bit of a competition to replace their original logo, thought I’d have a crack at it today. They had some very strict and boring guidelines (some awful colours / typefaces), was a little bit naughty and decided to ignore them…well the typeface ones anyway just couldn’t bring myself to use Arial!
