Rock generations
kjohnnyw: I hear far too many people say that only old people listen to rock music. For one, straight away, fuck off! I’m only 19 for god sake! I have many years ahead of me yet youth! But what depresses me more is the fact that there are kids actually bullied for listening to Elvis, Chuck Berry and the likes of ELO, Def Leopard and Kiss! I just don’t understand how you can hate a person who...

Possible subjects:
The idea to photograph the bank manager has been abandoned as we have been advised to stay away from bank representatives. They prove to be difficult to get a hold of and security risks cause endless problems in shooting schedules. Therefore I decided to switch my gaze to the north. The easiest subjects for me to photograph in terms of winning an audience with them are mostly based in my home...

Boss Project
For this commission style project, we are to take two editorial portraits to be published in a magazine using mixed lighting techniques. The subject must be represented as a ‘business executive’ personality.  The model does not entirely need to be wearing a suit and clearly represent a high end business/law firm. We have been advised to study shots from magazines such as ‘Top...

Website has been updated with the latest images of Whiskey Whores who just played an acoustic set on moorlands radio. They also gave my work some good publicity on air which is always good to hear. Cheers lads!

Tattoo Art/Graffiti Art projects:
Graffiti: I already photographed many of the artwork found in the skatepark at southbank, these gave me a great start to the project and gave me better inspiration and ideas for finding/photographing artwork on the streets of other cities than London. Now that I am back in Stoke for the Christmas break and I have a try-pod, I was thinking of travelling to a park called ‘Hanley-Forest...

Some inspiration for tattoo photography, I’ll need access to some studio equipment if I want to produce the project in this style. Or I could follow Wolf Marloh’s technique and use natural daylight through a window and then use poly boards to reflect and control the light. Higher ISO values will produce more noise but I kinda like grungy textures and it will suit the theme anyway so...

Other project ideas:
I’ve been thinking of starting a combination of projects I want to call ‘Tagged’ and ‘Inked’. This isn’t for Ravensbourne, it’s a separate set of projects I want to produce to boost my portfolio. I got the idea when taking shots at the skate park in south bank. All of the graffiti there is just simply amazing to look at so I decided to start a collection...

My final 24 hours project is done! It’s still subject to change depending on wether or not John tells me that the number of images I used is too much or not. Otherwise, It’s finished!

Borough Market reflection
My experience of Borough market was a new one but I accepted the challenge with enthusiasm. Being a portrait and rock photographer, this project forced me out of my comfort zone. I generally like to capture attitude and expression within my photography so I struggled to take images that truly spoke to me creatively. I visited the market four times in total, with each visit my confidence grew...

The situation so far...
Borough Market: Initial edit finished, all images bar the panoramic are satisfactory. I need to return to the market this week in order to finish that project completely. I’m looking for a wide angle shot of the cathedral in the B/G seen through the stalls under the bridge for high contrast tonal values. Magazine shoot: Cover idea written down and lighting plan written also. Anna is now...
