tiny exclusive

A tiny exclusive for you, from a small selection of photographs taken last week on my Yashica Mat 124G (my favourite camera).

The lot will be uploaded to Flickr after the weekend.

Thankyou

sneak peak - noir

So this is the first project from uni that I have enjoyed and properly gotten into, the project is simply 'studio portrait'.

And after watching The Big Sleep I wanted to do a film noir shoot, so here are a couple of shots.

I'm currently still printing in the darkroom and editing down to my final image.

These are scans from the negatives, developed by myself at home.

book!

I have made a book of polaroids that anyone can buy if they wish.

distorted tazzy

My attempt at taking a self portrait with my cat. There was no chance this was gonna happen, but to be honest I like the outcome anyway. Dreamy.

Spectra, finally!

Finally got hold of some more expired Spectra, its been too long. This was the same day with Hollie as the post just before this one. I love the double!

sisters house

This past week I've been house and cat-sitting for my sister while she was in Egypt. It's been fun, I love having a house to myself, even though I dont act much differently, its nice.

Plus her house is kind of like a hotel, clean, crisp and glossy.

I finally got hold of some more Spectra, its seriously been too long.

Hopefully this weekend I will be taking lots of photo's and will be on here more often,

I promise.

I recently got some more Fuji colour film but realised I had 2 shots of black and white Polaroid left in my 450 land camera so I used them up.

I've really been slacking lately and I hate myself for it, I've let other things get in the way that just really arent inportant to me at all.

I'm going to sort myself out as I start uni in just over a months time, I really cant wait!

This is my new favourite corner, it has most things I need (minus all my cameras).

Scanner, sewing machine, polaroids, Francesca Woodman & Nan Goldin books :)

bloody px

I've been having a bit of a hard time with the First Flush PX 600, my first batch was spot on, almost perfect. But my next pack just isnt working as well, I think it has a lot to do with the heat, the weather recently has been a bit warm and mental and it looks as though its had a bit of an effect on my bloody px film!

Hopefully I'll have better look with my next pack.

These are the few I really salvaged from the pack!

Playing about with 'through the viewfinder' with digital shot through 35mm SLR and Polaroid.

Noooooooooo, it's happened to my most favourite PX 600 shot!

Attack of the killer crystals.

GUTTED!

cold feet

stand alone

I very rarely take those one of a kind photographs where it actually takes my own breath away, but I have to say, this is one of them.

Experimenting with the new PX 600 Film, I love this image.

You need to see the real thing to enjoy all its beauty.

atz edge cut

Last week The Impossible Project put up for sale some mega cheap SX-70 Artistic TZ Film, £8 per pack. Because it was edge cut film, and had a big chance of being slightly ruined. I took my chances seeing as though they only had about 500 for sale and were counting down untill they went on sale. It was a limit of 5 packs per customer. I went on their shop website just before they went on sale, and of course the website crashed as soon as they were up for grabs! I luckily grabbed 5 packs of the stuff, and in 10 minutes they were sold out. Now I've had a play with ATZ film, I love it. And am not looking forward to having to pay full price for it after I run out. Heres what I've taken so far...

she's dead, wrapped in plastic

When I was at college I feel like I was maybe a bit more creative and probably enjoyed more creepy and sinister shoots. Like these few images I've posted. Some were for projects but most just for fun/for myself.

I miss it, and look forward to a lot more creative shoots in the future, I just need some willing models :)

(The first 3 are self-portraits)

beach

I always moan about hating where I live, because it is shit. But I don't think I could live far away from a beach, its not the greatest but it's nice to know its only a 5-10 minute drive away.

i'm all out, pt 2

i'm also out of spectra film! last 3 shots for the time being :(
