I am hoping to print my book using Blurb, and having looked at the different sizing option they offer, have chosen to produce a large square book (30×30). I chose to produce a square book as I feel this best suits a photo book rather than your traditional reading book, especially with the type of …

Dandelions
The idea of photographing dandelions was to focus on a part of nature that is considered fragile. I shot them in a numbers of ways from detail shots which focused on the main part of the plant, to very simplistic ‘portrait style’ images where the plant is surrounded by negative space in order to make …
Time-Lapse – Second Attempt
The second attempt at a time lapse went more successfully. I set up my camera so that it automatically took a photo every minute, and waited for the ice to melt which took a total of 10 hours. I then put together the 594 photos to create a time-lapse. The transition throughout the video is …
Time-lapse – First Attempt
I created a time-lapse showing flowers frozen within ice and the effects of it melting. My first attempt at the time lapse failed for multiple reasons. I took a photograph every 5 minuets until the ice had melted, however this was to much of a gap and the end result looks jumpy. I also shot …
Flowers in ice – Test images
After photographing the flowers frozen within the ice with the intention of comparing it to the image of me in a similar setting, I decided to photograph the flowers once the ice had melted. I found it interesting that the flowers when out of ice and instead in water look weaker than they did before, …
Reflection – Test Images
Although I previously mentioned that I thought it may be interesting to pair a portrait image with a landscape one, especially when displaying them in a book, I have decided against the idea. After asking a number of people which option they thought worked best – Option 1 (both portrait) or option 2 (portrait and …
Coming self portraiture with nature
I previously looked at experimenting with piecing multiple images together to create an independent piece of art work. This was something that at the time I did find interesting but mostly looked at combining images with text, however I now want to look at this idea of combining nature with self portraits. Above is some …
Initial ideas
I produced a basic mind map to display my initial ideas for the resit. My previous project for me lacked meaning and therefore wasn’t a strong concept by the end. I think a big part of this was because it didn’t have a title. By giving it a title I feel that it gives the …
Idea Development
Since I have started to put together my video, I have found that I am struggling to shoot clips to create an interesting video without repeating them and it becoming boring. As a way around this I have decided to split the video into three smaller shorts. Each one will be 30 seconds – 1 …
Video Development
I shot some more footage of nature, which I feel has turned out a lot better than the first. In terms of quality I am a lot happier with the work, but also the way that each clips feeds into the next. The content is quite peaceful, with each plant swaying gently in the wind. …
