These are my final thoughts on the LensLife brief. I have enjoyed this brief and the range of imagery I have been able to create to satisfy the brief. I have enjoyed creating different types of imagery such as workspaces imagery (quite popular on Instagram) but also being able to apply some of my knowledge... Continue Reading →
This is my final image for the app in context element of the LensLife brief. This is my final image. I like the setup and the colours running throughout. My thought process behind this was how I send images to friends and designers for feedback on my website layout. In this image I have a... Continue Reading →
This is my final image for the expanding your creative network for the LensLife brief. This final image shows how artists can collaborate with others around the globe. In this instance, my girlfriend is demonstrating how she would use the app to collaborate with an artist and friend in New Zealand, demonstrating colour palettes and... Continue Reading →
This is my final image for the sustainability element of the LensLife brief. I decided to go against my original idea of a composite image and shoot something a bit more straightforward. I did this as social media calls for quick, digestible content. It isn't the right place for an in depth conceptual image. I... Continue Reading →
This is my final image for the "Moment of joy" element of the LensLife Brief. I thought about what everyday moments during this period spark "joy". I thought about a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon run or having more time to sit at the piano again. However I finally concluded that this could be... Continue Reading →
This is my final image for the "Working from home" element of the LensLife brief. I really like this final image. It took quite a while to get right whilst shooting as I was shooting an overhead self portrait. I edited it in a light and airy fashion, a processing style quite popular for social...

Covid-19 undoubtedly threw a spanner in the works for my FMP. What started as a promising endeavour quickly turned into a frustrating scenario. Street photography relies on your being out there. You can't do it from a home studio, you can't rework and manipulate old imagery and although I do sometimes like to focus on... Continue Reading →
This is the final layout I have decided on for my book. Front Cover: Inside spread: Example page: Final text: Back cover: I am really pleased with how this turned out. I went through a lot of tiny detail changes to get things to where I wanted them, such as aligning the coordinate text and... Continue Reading →
An interesting concept that has become so mainstream and part of our lives very quickly is working from home. As we have become confined to out houses and flats during this period, a lot of people have had to change how they work and where they work. My initial idea was to have an almost...

As I favour a very minimal design, I considered adding a second online element in which someone could learn more about the imagery. There would be an in depth breakdown of each image in which I would discuss things such the lighting, location and my thought process behind the composition. I did this in a... Continue Reading →
Sustainability is one of the key selling points behind LensLife. It reduces paper waste from printing off imagery and feedback forms and allows for an entirely digital process, saving the trees! I am working on a scenario where a phone is placed on top of a pile of shredded paper. The paper was already shredded,... Continue Reading →
One of the scenarios that LensLife wants us to photograph is the app being used in context. I thought about what I would send to colleagues and I came to a conclusion; the one thing I always ask for is feedback. I find this crucial when working on images, text, video and design. In this...
