Photography Finals

So for my final images, i chose to go along the lines of "up close and personal" 

I chose 6 images, all representing my journey in sewing, i took it up last year after my horrific final for another unit that i forgot the name of. During the summer i dedicated myself to homing in on becoming better at sewing and since then i have started an online/craft fair business making childrens clothes, toys, bunting and more recently a couple of adult size dresses, and have become rather obsessed with it and its become my main reason for procrastinating these days... kind of a catch 20/20 - i'm being productive but also not at the same time. 

I'm not sure if its something i want to take to Uni though as im worried it'll suck the enjoyment out of it, though im still having an internal battle over wither or not i should apply to Heriot Watt and do textiles or continue with my illustration plan... I want to do both. We will see..

These are my favorites ^^ as i love that it shows the details of the metal scratches along with the different fibers on the thread going everywhere :)

Photography photos!

So first of all i started by testing out my new phone camera :)

 We were then asked to go to the "photography cupboard" and use the lighting & background etc.

For homework we were asked to take photographs with various themes;

Street Photography

I think i have a couple more on my Instagram - edited versions.

Decay;

While visiting my granddad at his shop in Peebles, i thought this would be a cool opportunity to photograph his workshop. This is a place i would visit occasionally as a child with my mum when visiting my Gran, I chose it for the theme decay because his workshop brings me lots of childhood memories, almost everything on the walls have been there probably longer than i can remember and the same could probably be said about some of the shavings, the walls are yellowed from years of smoking.  

Nature Morte/Still life

Had a couple of images of my favorite little things from my desk, one of which was my grannies pin cushion - which she made - i had a theme going but im not sure where it went...

 I then, after gardening found some funky looking carrots! - I have better, edited versions on my Instagram

Them

I was basically doing a thing taking pictures of some of my furry friends noses? - which i guess also folds into the upclose and personal theme

Up close & personal

I think this is my favorite type of photography as it gives you a cool perspective on normal things

Reverie:

Some other things;

Again, I have lots more on my instagram :)
