The Photography Institute

So yesterday I showed you some V images I took about a year ago, well here are some more recent ones...... I've recently embarked on a new photography course with The Photography Institute (hence the lack of blog updates lately!!!) so my posts for the foreseeable future will be the work I have submitted as part of the course. First up, here are the 3 images I shortlisted to submit. You can chose whatever you want to take a photo of but using techniques learnt. Always keen to get my 'V' in, I decided to take photos of him for assignment 2 (first module did not require a submission); we had to find an object of any kind around the house and think of a 'different' way to photograph it. 

This was the image I decided to submit, the following two are the other ones I was considering. I decided on this one because I liked the 'mood' of it most. I like it being dark and mysterious, I love the warmth of the photo after using a red backdrop and I love the reflection in the glass (which was what was at the forefront of my mind when initially thinking about the photo). I got 8/10 for my overall assignment score which I'm very proud of. Would love anyone and everyone's thoughts on the images! Which is your favourite?

V is Watching You

When I watched 'V for Vendetta' for the first time (years ago) I liked it and disliked it all at the same time. The character V was a figure I really related to. Someone at a loss with the current political system and it's flaws and corruption. But, on the other hand, was scared by how similar the story was to the way government is run nowadays. I had, at the time, discussed with my boyfriend about where we might find some V masks that we could use to take photos with and then, low and behold, a group beat me to it! But have no fear, as soon as I saw you could buy them, I had two on order! Now V is Watching You. So, a post that may divide opinion I suppose. My love for the mask, others hate for what it represents. Still, thats what art is all about, right?! Here are a few images I took about a year ago, tomorrow, I will share my first submission for my new photography course. :)
