Finally something new

Now I have finally started again after the holidays. The first project we did was to take again photos of something white on a white background and something black on a black background. The main reason why we did it again was because last year we made it to complicated and it didn't look so good.

Now I'm working on environmental portraits and traditional food. We had to find something connected to the 1700th so I decided to take photos of the food at that time, that won't be so hard because at this time of year we eat a lot of food from that time. I will take those photos this week or next weekend so hopefully I can post them here soon

I bought a camera of ebay and it arrived few days ago its Zorki S its a copy of leica and was manufactured around 1956. I already took a roll of film and i am really happy with it. I'm trying to use it more and more but unfortunately I don't have that much time because of all the other works that I have in school.

Until next time

Surviving in a post apocalyptic world


surviving in a post apocalyptic world "closer"

This is a new project that I'm working on, this photo I made for the final project for the first term in my school. I made some more sketches and I'm going to make a series of photos. I want it to look like a story and when you see them you will feel like you are watching a movie or even reading a book, I want people to feel like they want to know more. Before I made this photo I had to do research work, both about other photographers that make photo manipulation and post apocalyptic world. I watched several movie´s like "I am legend" with Will Smith, "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen and "The Book of Eli" with Denzel Washington. I'm going to go deeper into the concept of post apocalyptic.

When I introduced this photo to my class I was asked how many photos I had to get from the internet but I can proudly say that I used only my photos, I took all of them for this project except the fire and the silhouette men's, they are actually Thai guards. The wall was originally not broken so I had to find several broken wall's to break the wall. The photo of the guy was taken in the studio in my school.
