These images were created as part of an advertorial campaign in the style of Topshop. After creating mood boards and researching current trends, we decided to document the journey of a girl on an evening out.

I like how the warm street lights cast an orange hue across the face.  The orange tone is mimicked by the car headlights in the background, incorporating the colours together. The position of the arms and body juxtaposes the rule of thirds, something that I usually pay close attention to in my images.

The strong blurred background created by using an aperture of only f/1.8 creates a strong silhouette. Additionally the bright light created by the lighting board out of the frame allows the face to stand out against the darker, moodier background.  The casual pose mimics that of the unruly hair and the orange tone of the glitter also ties the colours in the shot together.

These images were taken to demonstrate obscurity in its simplest form.  Using a slow shutter speed I created a series of portraits incorporating a figure turning and twisting her head back and forth. 

In post production I used contrast and black and white to allow the figure to stand out against the white background.  I love the sharp movement created by the arms, as this forces the viewer to look across the frame in a diagonal path.

In 2009 a series of earthquakes hit L'Aquila, Italy and the surrounding villages.  In both 2015 and 2016 I explored the areas that have been left to decay.  This personal project is something that I am extremely passionate about and I hope to explore further in the future.

In every village there are a maze of backstreets, however in this village (Acciano) the eeriness is enhanced by the lack of human presence created by such a traumatic disaster.

My dad used to holiday in Acciano and after exploring we stumbled across an external bathroom that he used as a child.  Now boarded up, I managed to zoom in through the open window to capture an old medicine bottle left amongst the ruins.

There were many towns affected by the 2009 earthquake and as we explored the surrounding areas we stumbled across more belongings that were left in the rush to get out alive.  From family photographs and china to old ski boots, there were countless items which serve as a physical memory of those who used to inhabit the spaces.

This photograph was taken using a Canon Speedlite Flashgun, which allowed the naturally pitch black room to be illuminated.  This was my great grandparents' bedroom, now covered in broken plaster board.  I love how the colours are rich and deep allowing a mysterious environment to be created.

This photograph captures an old cooker, where the building is precariously hanging over the edge of a steep drop.  I especially like how the cool toned colours are all linked together through the paint work.  The broken glass and cracks in the walls remind us that this kitchen has been abandoned for many years.

These photographs were taken with disposable film cameras.  I particularly love the texture and atmosphere created by film photographs as they have a strong sense of character and nostalgia due to the noisy frame.

I took this photograph on my way home one evening as I thought the bright colours of the headlights were dramatic.  In post production I experimented with cropping certain areas to allow the cars to be the main focus point of the photograph.

Whilst out walking with my brother we stumbled across an abandoned burnt out car in the middle of the common.  People were walking past it without even a second glance.  After a few return visits to the site, I finalised these images.

The black and white tones add purity to the work - if this photograph was in colour the subject would be quite busy and distracting.  Additionally, the black and white tones and heavy crop make the viewer question what exactly they are looking at.  It is unclear what the subject is at first glance due to the chaotic environment.

Taken in Torquay, Devon, this shot reminds me of a painting due to the intense colours and mystery of who these people may be.  The image on the whole looks like a gradient effect from blue to green to purple to red. The red and white striped deck chairs complement the green tone of the sea beautifully, reminding the viewer of carefree holidays by the sea.

Salcombe, Devon.  I particularly like how there are very clear lines cutting across the frame, splitting the image into thirds.  The yellows and blues work well with each other creating a very soothing atmosphere for the viewer.

Shot on a Fashion Photography Short Course at The London College of Fashion, I was thrown into a completely new style of photography.  Working with lighting and a studio was a new experience for me but, as a result of the course, I have enjoyed creating more and more portraits.  

The female in this image looks as if she has been caught off guard.  I feel her natural expression has been captured.  The use of creams also work well here, as the colours are complementing against the skin.

The innocence and rawness of this photograph makes it one of my favourites.  I love how both models have a very similar facial expression which has been captured elegantly.  The use of a black background works well with the frame as it creates a much moodier environment.
