Update!

Just a quick update to let everyone (Ha! like two people read this blog, i should probably work on that!) know what happening with me! Well i am currently working on a new project alongside my multiple composite project. This project involves Great British Food! Yum! Im getting hungry just thinking about all the delicious food i could photograph!

My ideas are very messy at the moment but i think im going to photograph cakes! I love cakes and i can do a variety of things with them :)

As well as this i have started another blog! I find it hard to update here every single day especially when i havent really been shooting much. So i present to you Dayre! It is a fantastic app that you can update many times a day and it will condense it into one blog post per day :D

So please give me a follow on there as you will get to see behind the scenes of my shoots among other things!

That's all folks! Till next time!

Scale!

I'm not good with first posts so ill just dive straight in and do an introductory post later on :)

Our current Uni project involves scale (something similar to the image below)

So this got me thinking, what on earth could i do to make an interesting image? I wanted something that would have a comedic element to it and then it hit me. CATS! I own three cats each with their own unique personalities, surely they will give me some inspiration.

Sure enough they did and ideas began to race around my head. What could i do? Perhaps a small person holding up a cat treat to a giant feline? or maybe my model could be climbing out from between my cats paws? I loved this idea as one of my cats has thumbs. Yes you did read that right, my cat has thumbs.

I eventually settled on having my model dressed as a mouse and shrinking her down in photoshop and placing her on an image with one of the cats, looking like she was 'prey'. This idea was ever so slightly changed when the cats wouldn't sit still! The below image is my newly revised idea of having my little mouse model standing on the cat to give it a comedic element.

'Na-na-na-na, you can't catch me!'


And there we have it, i promise i will post the final pics when they're done. Also I've included two pictures of my younger cats for cuteness! They're all dressed up for Christmas :)
