Abandoned spaces...

Lately I have taken a keen interest in abandoned spaces. I attend university in Preston, Lancashire - this is a great place to find these sorts of spaces. Lancashire, and especially Preston, has a very high number of abandoned spaces, whether these are carpark, shops or older buildings. The images below are of three different abandoned spaces in Preston: a burnt down school, an old orphanage / maternity hospital and a half falling down building / used club. 

50 days

Check out the link to my new / temporary blog for my university assignment 'photography and the everyday'. For 50 days I will take photographs everyday and choose one to represent that day on this blog, also on here will be any links to research and inspiration that has helped me with my ideas through this project, such as photographs, essays, books, or short films. My photos will run from 24/01/2013 - 14/03/2013 I will try to post my photographs everyday, if not every few days, so keep checking to see what's new!

Perspectives of Preston

Here are some images I took out and about in Preston, all of the images were taken in a different way to the normal aesthetic of a photograph. The images were out of focus or approached from a different angle of view or there was shutter drag. From these images I have decided to work on a personal project called 'perspectives of Preston' in which I aim to create an archive of photographs representing different 'perspectives of Preston'

Check out my separate blog, which I will keep updating with new photos for this project, on the right hand tab. Click 'Perspectives of Preston' or the link below:

Inspiration

Check out my inspiration blog! Initially this was created as a resource for for university but I found this a good way of collected and keeping together all of the work I come across that I like! It ranges from moving image, links to websites, articles that interest me and all genres of photography! Some of the images are scanned in as I have seen them in books, magazines or newspapers so they aren't all a great quality!! I will posting quite regularly on this blog so be sure to keep checking it out! 

Ps... I will posting on this blog this weekend, hopefully I can get a lot up as I have plenty of time now I have finished Uni for christmas!!

Have a great christmas and New Year everyone!

Blackpool

A few weeks ago I visited Blackpool, where I did some extremely 'touristy' activities; such as going in the Blackpool dungeons, up the Blackpool tower and walking along the Beach and piers. The light was amazing that day, which meant I got some good shots of the sky and up the tower! Below are some of the photographs I got. With the illuminations now off for another year and most things closed down for the winter I think it will be interesting to go back and see Blackpool in a less 'touristy' way.

Loch Lomond

I visited Loch Lomond in Scotland, I took different photographs whilst I was there- taking general photographs as well as experimenting with patterns and reflections. Below are some of the images I took whilst I was there.
