Every Flower is a soul blossoming in Nature | Photography

It's been so long since I uploaded to this blog and I am so sorry about that I have been so busy and this little place on the internet has become neglected and covered in dust. I am now off for Summer so going to try and upload as much as possible over the next 15 weeks. Yes I am off for 15 weeks and no I have no idea what I am going to do during that time.

Today I have another photography post with Kendra and I am so happy with how these photos turned out - it was pouring with rain and it was freezing temperatures but that didn't stop us. We headed literally 5 minutes from my house and found a cute little over grown branch and made that our location.

I had been on the lookout for these fake glasses from Primark as I really wanted to shoot with them, I think something as simple as a pair of glasses can make a photo really interesting without looking odd. Plus it creates a beautiful reflection that I really enjoy!

Kendra | Photography

Meet Kendra, she is one of my favourite beans in the entire world. Be nice, be kind.

Kendra and I are doing placement together again this year however, it is in Harrogate which neither of us know very well so we decided to do a test drive see how to get there and how long it takes. We were taken right from the city to immediate countryside, it was a shock we really didn't expect the long windy country roads we were immediately driving on.

For my placement I am going to be doing photography so I also wanted to do a test run for that, I wanted to explore near the place we are based at for placement to see if there was any immediate locations. I was happily surprised.

We came across an allotment only a few minutes away from the car where we decided to set up camp. Whilst taking pictures we were approached by 3 different men who all happened to own lots and were all photographers at different levels. We met someone who had just started and used a bridge camera and we also met an older man who had the longest lens I have ever seen (it was the length of his passenger car seat) who had been doing some nature shots.

It was nice and a little bit weird to meet these people, although they were all lovely and let us stay even though we weren't meant to be in there in case we stole peoples veg. It was weird to meet so many photographers in the space of 15 minutes as that has never happened to me when I've been on a shoot but I have to say it was really nice.

As we were driving home I was eating my popcorn and looking out the window and I saw the most beautiful little path with daffodils along the long pathway and I turned to Kendra and said "that would be a great location" and as we carried on driving I couldn't shake how badly I wanted to go down there so I forced Kendra to stop and apart from having to run away from the marsh and ruining our new shoes I am so glad we stopped the photos are beautiful.

Here are my favourite shots from the little shoot we did, for Kendra's first time being a model I think she did a pretty good job!

Update + Photography

Did you forget I had a blog? Yeah...me too.

I keep telling myself I need to get back into blogging but somehow I always end up burying at the bottom of my to do lists. Second year is nearly over and the assignments just don't stop, I feel like if im not sleeping im staring at my laptop and hoping for the best. 

When it comes to summer i'm going to spend my life focusing on my uni work for next year as sadly I am going into my third year in Leeds which is honestly the scariest sentence I've ever said. 

Today I wanted to share some of the recent photography I've done with Ellie and by recent I mean like a month ago and I'm sorry. 

I promise I will try harder but I mean my career comes before anything else in my life. I love you all thank you for not giving up on me! You can always follow me on social media if you want to keep up with my life. 

Ellie came to visit me in Leeds so naturally we decided to do a photo shoot around the city. 

 Also, whilst I was home we decided to try something new and do a Hollister inspired car photo shoot I have to say it's not my favourite but I feel like we need a re-shoot and try it again.

Long time no speak | Photography

I am finally going to be sharing some of my recent photography shoots with Ellie, I am so sorry I have neglected this blog and left you hanging about my Disneyland trip but I have excuses don't worry!

I am now in my second semester of second year and life and uni are getting on top of me but I wanted to show you some of the work I am have been doing recently.

I don't have time to edit them so here's the raw files!

I love doing shoots with Ellie, she is a great friend of mine and a wonderful model!
