Manipulation Through Homonyms
In a recent photography assignment we were asked to create images that portrayed homonyms. A homonym is of course words that sound the same but have different meanings.
The first homonym I chose was band/banned. This image has been heavily manipulated using masking techniques and filling in with solid colours to achieve an image that looked similar to a sign.
My second homonym was hare/hair in which I tried to incorporate a hare into my own body. I need more practice in this area of manipulation but for a first try I'm fairly happy with it.

Photographing Children
I have just finished the printing for the photographs I took of children at a childcare centre on the South Coast for the second consecutive year. They will be distributed throughout the centre next week.
Here is an example of one of the photos I took last year for the centre.

Visual Truth

Photo manipulation is also used by the media to sway the opinion of the public.

This is why I believe the camera is not an object of truth, although it does have the potential to be. Images are often structured and edited in a way that does not represent an accurate view of real life.
Please Note: If you click the images they will open up larger so you can view them easier, also there are reaction buttons and comment sections on all my posts and I would love to hear some feedback, thankyou.

The One That Started It All.
This is the photo that started it all, the one that made me realise just how much I loved photography! All the way back in January of 2009. This photo will always be brilliant to me for that very reason, it wasn't taken on a dslr camera, it was taken on a Kodak point and shoot digital camera that I had had for several years, nor has it really been edited in photoshop at all (I turned it black and white though). But still, to me, it is an absolutely spectacular piece of photography.
Practicing Portraits!
This is my second attempt at masking with hair, but I am not happy with it. I am posting this on my blog to keep track of my progress so I can see how brilliantly I improve over time!

It's a working progress.
Here is the beginnings of a new assessment for uni! I felt that there was no better place to document my working progress than here, my own blog.
This photo is just one component of a bigger picture; and the first of many that will look like it, of course I must keep trying to create the perfect composition. If you like you can comment and tell me how you think it's coming along (: Don't forget to click if you want to see it bigger.

Portrait Shots.
This is a slightly different approach to the last portrait photo that I posted. It was originally supposed to have the models eyes open but out of the photos I took in this position I actually preferred the eyes closed look.
Portrait Shots
I have always had an interest in portraiture more than any other form of photography and love playing around with it. Here is one example of my work that I took of my brother. You can click on the photo to view it larger.
