bless this beautiful bird,


I was at Walton Street car boot sale today and I purchased this authentic 1930's/40's hat for £2. As soon as I saw the pretty feathers I instantly thought YES! your mine! 
However, through closer inspection walking around the car boot I discover that the amazing feathers are still attached to the poor bird :(!! I wouldn't have bought this hat if I knew! Despite the bird it is a beautiful hat, but I will NOT be wearing this out anywhere anytime soon. I only posted these photos to show you how beautiful it is, I will be selling it on very shortly. 




The style of the hat has definitely given me some feather inspiration.

Real Eyes Office Set,

These are a few photos from the office set that I designed for my film Real Eyes. 



 I wanted to convey the feeling of claustrophobia in this office set which is why I designed it to be so small, but just big enough to fit in the office furniture essentials. As well as being cramped and uncomfortable, I think it's successful in withholding an ordered and organised work place too.
My cinematographer Tom Lee was amazing at lighting it, it looks better than I how imagined it! I'm really proud of it! :)
The film Brazil was a huge influence in this small set. As you will recognise if you have seen it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088846/







This is my film's Facebook page, check it out it has more details about the film and you can see a lot more screen shots. I will no doubt post the rest of the screen shots up here too, it'll just take me a little while. I have a lot of work to get through. Let me know what you think. 

Some photos on film,

I favour film photography to digital. I haven't used film that much since I got my digital SLR but when I do use a film, I seem to savour it and think about the photograph in more depth rather than it just being a click of a button on a digital camera. 
Digital is much more simple and I love it for that, but you can't beat the look of film photography I absolutely love it. If only developing films was cheaper I'd have a room full of photographs like these by now. 
These few photos are from when I first started to learn about photography, a whole 5 years ago.

Vintage camera & flash


I still haven't had chance to buy the flash bulb for it. Note to self - buy one ready for summer time! I bought this from an awesome vintage photography shop in Hornsea.
Here's the link to it's website. It's jam packed full of old, cheap cameras, stills cameras & film cameras!

Last summer

I took these photos on an amazing hot day around East Hull. I got lost for a few hours, but I had some great photo opportunities. This summer, I hope to get alot more photography, I can't wait :)! 





France last year

My trip to France last year was awesome. These are just a few of my favourite photos that I took while I was there :)
