Rainham Docks

down Rainham Docks just as the sun was setting, railings are under exposed as is the foreground as the sun was infront of me. tried using a neutral density filter but didnt seem to make much difference?

Taken at ISO 100, F22 for 1/2 second at 28mm, used a 2stop neutral density or was it four im not sure

My end of degree exhibition

Here's is my work from my final exhibition, The curation for the final changed only slightly from my original plan, the main change was to move the photos closer together, this gave the piece a more filled out and complete look, the addition of an A0 photograph was also decided upon and this extra work, worked well in the space it
was put in.
I was worried that the two pieces of work that sat next to each other would not work well because of there similarities, but the way the space was utilised meant that this didnt become an issue.

The Saw at the Saw Mill

This is one of the abandoned saws at the old saw mill, this has been photoshoped somewhat, however this contrast and saturation works well.

Final

This is another possible idea that I'm looking into for the final show, it uses and old piece of rusted metal with acetate, transparencies set into it, this is a mock up on photoshop

Two more photographs for possible final piece ideas, again using acetate however this time without the use of objects.

Final Piece idea's

one idea for final piece.

Leybourne Grange

It's Late afternoon and the sun shines through small holes in paper covering the window, the dust trickles through the streams of light and lands on the broken floor.

much of the house is in such a way, peaceful, discarded and decaying. In such places can be found humanities legacy.

Grain Tower Fort

A couple of photos From grain Tower battery Fort, constructed in the 1850's and later upgraded to accommodate bigger guns, the fort is now unused and for sale.

Layers

Each layer that man creates is ontop of the previous and below the future, this broken layer show intersections between the three past present and future posibilities.

Perspective

These photographs have been put together because the lines within them and the shapes made are rather interesting.

Monuments 2

This is the final piece for the monuments work, in the previous piece I used two images that showed the decay of our civilisation, in this piece however i'm using a monument from the past in conjunction with what our civilisation might leave behind.

so once again....

As our Civilisation progresses it seems increasingly obvious that it will at some stage collapse, like many before us we may fall into the realms of myth and be spoken of only through stories. Like many others however we have the chance to leave our footprint behind a monument to all that we have accomplished good and bad. what legacy will we leave behind

Founds Objects

This is one object that

I will be combing with

photographs to make

a piece of work about

Leybourne Grange

Leybourne Grange

These two images are apart of a series of photographs that I will be combining with found objects to create a piece of work about Leybourne grange, rather than looking into the places history and use I wish to look at it in relation to my interests around decay, humanity and nature.

Abandoned House

This photograph was Taken in lower Rainham of an old Abandoned house in an orchard.
It was taken at 9:30 in the evening for 30 seconds at f9, a torch was used to paint the house with light making it visible in the photograph. Unfortunately a high ISO was used to allow for a smaller aperture this has resulted in the photo being somewhat grainy apart from this however I feel this is still an interesting photograph.

The Saw Mill

This image is the beginnings of a piece of work for an abandoned saw mill in Hastings. when complete there will be four photos one in each slot.

The frame that the photos are set in was taken from the Saw mill and the photos are of it, This piece aims to create an object that conveys the on going aesthetic within my work and also hints to the themes that interest me.

The foot print of man on the land:

"my touch is the most recent layer of many layers that are embedded in the landscape which in turn will be covered by future layers - hidden but always present" Andy Goldsworthy

Looking at this through the lens of humanity, it could be said that he current global civilisation will eventually become another layer like every previous civilisation that has graced the earth.We are fuelling the inevitability of time, the decay and waste of our living is easily found, The transition from one layer to another is all around us. Using photography I look to find such transition in the land, not simply to record such moments in an effort to stop them, but in hope that the collapse will happen, for through the collapse we will learn the lessons that need to be learned.
