These were taken for my uni project but I’m not using them so thought I’d put them up here. The colours are more saturated but photobucket is a bitch and does that to images. Inspired by the incredible Hannah Starkey of course. I have a few spare prints if someone’s willing to exchange some hard earned dolla dolla for one? Totally in need of some at the mo.

Taken with my baby, the Mamiya RB67.

Black and white portraits from today’s studio session. I have loads of new images but I want to show them all together as a series (they’re for my uni project), and also photobucket is fucking with the colours of my images so I need to figure that out. Anyways here are some I’m not using in the final series, lil sneak peek for you all.

Portraits of Iris in the studio on Friday. For my Uni project, our theme is something roughly to do with genres and mediums, so I’m working on a series blurring the lines between fashion imagery and portraiture. More in-depth description soon, these are general experiments that are sort of headed the direction I want the images to go.

My beautiful Eman is back in my life again! We met 4 years ago. She is my lover, my wife, muse, whatever. She’s Edie and I’m Andy and I want to make her famous. Eman’s the name – remember it.

Test shoot for a project. Yes I know the pink hairband is really annoying!
Mamiya RB67, Fuji Provia(?) 120 film.

Found my cable release and did these self portraits today, experimenting with transferring on different paper types. The really annoying thing about the Fuji instant films is that sometimes they all get stuck together when you pull them out and the whole thing is wasted. Which happened today. 10 quid down the drain. Eek.
