Fashion Photography

Heya..

So It's been a while since I have posted on here, but this blog is for me and when I feel like it and recently I just haven't felt like it. However, waking up to a glorious spring day gave me some energy to do something I've been meaning to do for a while, Fashion Photography.

I recently went to the Photographer's Gallery in Soho, just off oxford Street and saw the works of Saul Leiter, a film photographer who photographed throughout the 60s and early 70s. I loved his use of colour, which was rather revolutionary in his day. Leiter photographs through windows in many of his shots, which give his images a beautiful soft focus. Inspired by Leiter's fashion photography for Harper's Bizzare in the late 60s, I decided to experiment myself. Here are my favourite shots.

Resolutions

Heya...

So you all have probably read the title and thought 'Oh God not yet another list of pointless goals someone has decided to follow'. Although the new year has already been going for 10 days, I've been thinking about resolutions and what they mean to me. 

New Year's resolutions are usually to do with getting fitter or eating better or maybe even something academic? But let's be honest, none of them last long. The truth is, in my opinion,  that none of that matters. No really, it doesn't.

For me, just being happy is good enough, better still making someone else smile for some reason or another. The more cynical of you will now be thinking how lame that sounds but if you really think about it being happy is different for everyone. So my resolution is to do something to make myself happy and do something to make someone else happy everyday. I hope u guys can do the same.
