So I've passed the half way mark of my first year at college! I must admit it has gone rather fast, and as difficult as I find it I absolutely love it. We have just started a new portraiture brief much to my delight! Today I've been using a couple of my college mates as models to practice, and what fabulous models they are. I had a brilliant day shooting these girls and appreciate their patience with me as I get the images I want. I am my hardest critic and these girls gave me confidence in my work...their hearts are as beautiful as them!
Starting practice for this brief I have already learnt a couple of things about my preferred 'style'. I enjoy bright coloured photographs, but currently there is nothing I love more than a good old black and white image. I can't quite explain why, I think it's because the emotion is more prominent and raw. I also think it has a certain simplicity to it. I am also in LOVE with close up portraits, I feel it adds a certain intimacy between the subject and the audience.
So here they are...my latest images. I hope you enjoy looking at them, I certainly enjoyed shooting them!!

| The gorgeous Kelly. Yes, she is really crying. She was absolutely perfect in this photograph! |
 |
| Tasha has amazing eyes and I think this photograph really accentuates them. The way the light is falling on her face gives her a softness and a serenity that makes this photograph my favourite. |
 |
| Look at those piercing eyes! |
 |
| I think this photo has a certain craziness and darkness to it. I love it!! |
