Campfires in Winter

Just thought I would post some of my finished articles I wrote for Uni. The first is on Flat 0/1, a bar in Glasgow and the second is on the band 'Campfires in Winter'. These articles went towards a website we created in groups, enjoy.

Lomography

So I felt it was time to invest in a new camera, and i've always been interested in analog cameras. While searching these on the internet the term 'Lomography camera' kept coming up. I'm still not exactly sure what it means but I got this meaning below off the official website... 

A Lomograph holds a charm all of its own. Somehow, everything is amplified, making ordinary objects stand out, enhancing details that would normally go unnoticed. Characterised by ever-changing variables such as the mysterious vignettes that frame the shot, light leaks, lo-fi grain, beautiful blurs, the magical balance of contrast and saturation … just to name a few.
A combination these factors and a healthy touch of the unexpected go into making each Lomograph unique. Essentially, Lomography embraces the element of surprise that only analogue film photography can bring and wholeheartedly celebrates the outcome.
Experiment with different kinds of films, and try different tips and techniques, such as cross-processing (x-pro) – it works well with Lomographic cameras!

Home Bound, final work

My last day of uni was today, handed in everything and all set to to go home to Glasgow in the snow. Here my finished work for my Design for Function class. As a group we had to select a sport to base a collection on, we choose fencing.








Entire collection I.m wearing my garment on the far right.



Will need to reshoot these properly.
