Self portrait | photography

When you can't meet models, become the model.

It's no secret that I am not a model, I rarely even post on instagram.

One day in quarentine I was really in the mood to do some photography, I started by taking pictures of random things round the house but it wasnt quite what I wanted to do. Next thing I know i'm doing my make up for the first time in 2 weeks, I am a different person in lashes. 

Due to not taking many selfies (apart from ugly snapchats) I didn't really know where to start. I had seen a lot of TikToks of self portraits but they were a little too extreme for me. I wanted to try something that wasn't just selfies. 

I am happy with how the images turned out, they clearly arent my best work but I did what I could. I grabbed my mums plants and stuck my face in them.

To my fellow photograhers out there I employ you to give self portraits ago, it was out of my comfort zone but I did enjoy it. I find myself watching more and more videos about it and I have so many more ideas for the next time I fancy putting lashes on.

Laura | Photography

Everyone say welcome back to Laura Wallace, a near and dear friend of mine. I met with her for the first time since I got back from Leeds. We decided to go for a little lunch and then do a photo shoot.

We went around the city centre and decided to head to the high level bridge as I had seen a few images from other local photographers shooting there. Whilst we were there we saw a wedding photo shoot going on at the bridge which was strange but also interesting to see the uses for this location.

I loved it so much there it worked so well the leading lines from the bridge created a really cool affect and I really enjoy the shadows that were created. One the way to the next location we found a blue garage door that perfectly matched Laura's

After that we headed to Civic Centre/Haymarket to take some images there which is a location I discovered on the shoot with Torie and Chelsea.

I love all the photos I did with Laura I think they're so new and interesting and I enjoyed the shoot and seeing Laura.

I have included a lot of images in today's post as there is loads I like and I want to start including more.
