I've only recently started to get into photography and properly enjoy it as a way of expressing by capturing the world around me; also choosing the content and practice.
About a year ago my mum dug out her old late 90's era polaroid camera and I started using it throughout my foundation year, where some of it actually became part of my final major project installation.
(took over the summer)
It's something I've become really passionate about.
The pale colours, smooth blurred out filters and unpredictability of the prints are what I love about polaroids and instant film. They ooze nostalgia and capture moments that become locked away in a time capsule, no matter how modern or recent the shot.
Recently I've stopped using my polaroid and it's something I want to pick up on again. I'm currently saving up for a fujifilm max 90 instant camera. The film it uses is a lot smaller than the standard size ones, which means it will be quite cheaper to use. It's something I also would like to use in my work, especially for the book design project that starts after Christmas - something definitely want to include.
2. Fashion
Something I've always been interested in, but I've never grasped or got into seriously. I love reblogging fashion shots on my person blog of the latest trends, which I like to keep up to date with.
However, I've been thinking recently about maybe creating my own t-shirt designs using press ons. I don't really want to just copy a design I've seen or be unoriginal. I'd rather them come from genuine places, and let the inspiration come to me instead of looking for it.
I'm also quite interested in fashion photography, I follow a lot of blogs which is something I check up on daily. Something I want to explore with my own designs.
3. Screen print
I have never really bothered with screen printing, it is something I've never really took interest in until recently. I hopefully will take advantage of the facilities at the university, for final design prints.
