Work From College

Hey all,
            How is everybody doing? Having fun i hope. Anyway i have some pictures to show you today from the work i have being doing in the studio this semester, there is some portrait work and some still life i have been practising. It's only a small bit but i am happy with it.

 This picture was quite easy to set up and quite fun

 For the bottle we put a light behind the bottle  so it would look kind of natural

 These 2 pictures are 2 different stages of the final picture below oddly enough i like  the top one with the blue and red

This is the final image we got on the day. i believe it came out quite well having gone through alot of work for this. All picture in this blog were taken with the help of 3 of my fellow students. Until next time good luck

Possessions

Hey all,
           How are you doing this week? Having fun i hope. today i would like to show you some of the research i have been doing for a project i am doing in college. The name of the project is Possessions, this means i have to show the world peoples possessions it may sound simple but it is not. In the photographers i have here today i can show you what other people have done with this subject and in the next couple of months i can show you what i will have done with the subject Possessions.

 These few pictures show what Jean Revillard has done with this subject. he kinda went towards having little or no possessions and living in a forest or public space.

 For these images Carlo Gianferro went and photographed some Roma gypsies to see what they like to show off and too see what they have. Personally i like these couple of images  as it shows people are not afraid to show off who they are and what they collect.

These images were shot by Martin Parr. They are quiet simple but yet show off what the person likes or what they cherish the most. Life is all about collecting possessions and memories and showing them off to the world. This is a small collection of my research for college. I like this work as i like to learn new things. so til next time good luck.

Photography History

Hey all.
    How are you doing,  I would like to share a little video i found on Youtube about the history of photography. It's about 10 minutes long and it contains cameras from the Daguerreotype all the way to the Digital, So enjoy

 I really enjoyed this video i found some interesting things in it

Portfolio Part 2

Hey all,
 Hows things its been a while so here is another piece of  my portfolio something for you to mull over. Anyway the piece of my portfolio i am going to show you today is the abstract folder alot of the stuff in here is things i have done since i have started college.

 This here is a great image and so easily taken, it shows the Samuel Beckett bridge and the conference centre on the Liffey in Dublin city.

 I believe these few images taken in a night club in Dublin are quiet good and show you can get quite good images even when out for a good time.

 These few images where images i have from an experiment i have done in the last few weeks  i got the different lights and colours by using the lights from my bicycle and i got some quite interesting results.

   The last few images are from a sunset shoot in January, now i am not going to tell you how i shot them but i would like you to guess. its all up to you if you want to reply. Any comments on this collection of images would be appreciated, All Photos in this Blog Post are Copyright Paul Shannon
