Wilderness or Countryside

The City or the Urban Sprawl (Berlin) & (Slaughter farm)

This was taking on the streets of Berlin. This shot is one of my favourite photographs taken in Berlin. I have on the photograph three watermarks because i don't want my work getting robed. I put this car images in to the City or the urban sprawl because i think the street i was in and the city i was in was very urban at times. Sometimes in Berlin i felt scared and intimidated sometimes because of some of the situations i get my self in to. As a photographer i always try to take a photograph and capture the mood and atmosphere in the image. This was taken with the canon eos 40d 6mm lens.

This is the same car but with a different lens. I used a canon eos 40d and had a 17 85mm lens.

I really like the dirty look and the graffiti in the back ground. i have another shot like this one but was taken in barcelona. I really like trying to photograph things this way because i love the colour, composition and the urban look about it.

This Photograph below was taken in a weird place in Berlin. To get to it i had to go thought a flat and all of a sudden i was in this very strange place with surreal statues of animals and aliens.

More photographs taken in the same place as above.

Slaughter farm (set)

I thought i would put my slaughter farm photographs in this category because it defiantly felt on the day really serial and unusual.

My photojournalism photography. I must say these photographs are disturbing and is not for the faint hearted. This is documenting what goes on and how people let it go on. The place i photographed didn't want me to disclose any information and i agreed. I must say this is one of my best sets and is as close as i have ever been to the dead. I want to be a photojournalist and think the more i document work like this then the easier it will be in the future.

Ideas for self portraits

I am thinking of photographing someone ells but having my face on the person. I was studying at southport college for four years. The first two years was on a btec in Art and Design and two years btec in multiemedia. having the art and media background i am thinking of using them both and try to link my photography in with this to. I really do want to make this self portrait look wierd and scary because i think with all my work i have never produced anything wierd and scary before so i am going to give this ago.

This image below is of Saw V. i think this photograph is a mix between photography and media together. most definatly been minipulated to give that grainy affect witch is what i am after when i come to do my self portrait.

This is another image that i can relate to is some way. It makes me think about who i am and how i can feel sometimes. With my self portraits i want to express my self and not just show who i am and this picture i feel i can relate with personaly. Some times i feel stressed and no matter what i do or what you do you cant escape. if you watch the film you will see how he sivives and in life i feel you have to do anything to servive. it also says to me you need to be thinking outside the box as in think about the futur and not today.

This is another wierd ans scary photograph i think. i was thinking about having someing like this but in a dirty kitchin or somewere abandand and have my refelction in a miror. Not to sure on this idea.
