Beauty..

This is one of my favourite pictures that I've taken, even though it's so simple it's absolutely beautiful. The colours in the picture create the atmosphere and soften up the harsher shades of black.

Idol influences - Visual Diary

Another page from my visual diary was about celebrity idols and their influences. How influential can a celeb be? And in what ways? Well I've learnt that celebrity's can be extremely influential to girls and boys of any ages. Whether it's your hair colour or your dress sense or the way you speak, it all has to come from somewhere - celebrities. We see all sorts of different celebrities daily, in magazines, newspapers, TV, cinemas and in almost every sort of media thats around. The media today is one of the strongest influences going and in my opinion it will continue to be for a very long time.

Visual Diary - Red Rose

This rose is an image from my visual diary; I decided to draw a rose as it's my favourite flower. I tried to make the flower look as real as possible by highlighting the outer petals to make the texture look alive. Red and white roses are my all time favourite flowers, more so red roses! Hence I decided to do a red rose. In my first sketch of the rose i had little roses around the outside, however i decided not to go with this as it stood out a lot more individually. 

Photoshop Edits

Here i decided to change the contrast of my picture showing the original contrast and the edited contrast. I have always enjoyed editing and creating new aspects of an original image to almost better the picture.  After playing around with Photoshop I'd come to the conclusion that some things were best not being edited dramatically and simply changing the contrast can make an extremely big difference! ..  Sometimes not a good difference!

Bob Willoughby - Hollywood Photographer

Bob Willoughby born and bred in the heart of LA was a famous Hollywood photographer, he was most famous for his outstanding work of Audrey Hepburn collections and Hollywood stills. Willoughby style of photography interests me a lot as work so simple is created into a famous masterpiece known all over the world. The angle of shots are extremely precise and the mis-en-scene within each and every photo is captured and thought out extremely well.

Henri- Cartier Bresson

Henri- Cartier Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism, his style of photography was admired everywhere and influenced generations of photographers who followed in Cartier Bresson's footsteps. During A Levels I looked closely into Cartier Bresson's style of work and became extremely fond of his work. The way I see the photo somebody else may see it differently; for this reason i believe that Cartier Bresson worked in a way in which everyone can relate to and understand the message behind the photograph; whatever it may be.

The work of designer - Elie Saab

Designs by Elie Saab are astounding, each and every one of her designs are distinctive, elegant and simply amazing! One thing I admire about Elie Saab is that each and every one of her dresses are created in every style, shape and form for almost every individual to enjoy. Her work is admired by the likes of everyone from average joe's to A list celebrities! (though its mainly a listers who can actually afford her clothing!)
