During my first year of university, I partook in a photography module. The experience was surprisingly fun and sparked a new interest into this artform. Below are a collection of some of the photos I have taken!

Another requirement for the photography module was for a portrait photo. For this we where given freedom to try and capture any style and emotion we wanted. While exploring the area in London with a group of my friends I stumbled upon a large, colourfull piece of graffiti next to a bland and decrepid looking wall. I asked my friend to lean against the wall and took this photo. 

I'm happy with how this came out, with the contrast between both sides of the frame creating a large juxtaposition whilst also remaining balanced and symmetrical. If I where to re-take the photo agan I would have moved backwards or increased the focal length for the photo to capture more of the wall and make the subject smaller in the frame, althgouh how it stands I am happy with the result.

This scultpture has sat overlooking my home town for my entire life, and as such has acted as a marker for me whenever I return home. I wanted to capture it in its entirety, but instead of the usual angle that most would view it from the street below, I walked up the small path that runs behind it to try and capture it alongside the town it overlooks. 

To take this photo, I used my own camera, a Canon 250D alongside a Samyang 18mm fisheye. In post I corrected the distortion from the fisheye lens slightly, and added the black and white filter as I think it fit with the historical theme of the sculpture.

One night me and my friend (who also happens to be into photography) decided to explore the streets of wembley and take some night-time photos. Whilst walking around the Wembley designer outlet, he stopped to lign up a photo, and I realised that I could take one of my own!

I'm happy wit how this photo came out, with the more organic forground being contrasted with the very linear and angular photo my friend was taking at the time. It was also quite a challange on the day to balance the correct camera settings to shoot in such low light, so I'm pleased that many of the smaller details are still visible in this photo without too much digital noise from the needed increase in ISO.
