Such a long process it has been to create my photobook now entitled ‘unwelcome Invitation’. Original Idea: To narrow the horizon between photographer and viewer as intruders, I wanted the portraits to be hidden inside envelopes to be opened up. However, to break this up I wanted to include ‘rests’ of artefacts within the homes…

#picbod Digital before the film
Although I have been shooting on 120mm film, I have made backups with digital, just in case. So not only have I been thinking about my subjects, but also artefacts within rooms of their homes. I have selected my favourite images from what I took on digital. I feel that these images could be used…
#picbod Couples: Joanna Ornowska
With formal portraiture again, Joanna Ornowska, depicts love as a climb. From the easy flat fields with the fast pace to the face of the mountain. She photographed couples in the peak district as they were walking the hills. They are all in portrait fashion, focusing on the subjects. Although formulaic in her approach and…
#picbod Dona Schwartz – On the Nest
On the Nest is an ongoing photographic series of work surrounding the adaption of space to make way for new life. It is how parents have prepared their ‘nest’ for their unborn child.

#Picbod Photograph your Tribe
Throughout our relationship together I have photographed Jamie in ‘our space’. Within these walls we talk of stories and of our anxieties about our lives outside of these spaces. Jamie is really comfortable with me photographing him. I don’t do it all the time, because I don’t objectify him and every day life does…
#Picbod Task Two Thoughts
To photograph from the inside. Photograph as Nan Goldin says ‘Your Tribe’. Study someone you are close to and make images with them of an intimate nature. This is something I do a lot with one person in particular. In 2012 I used photographs of Jamie as part of my collection ‘Crowded’. I have already…
Self-Portrait Thoughts #Picbod
Lecture Notes: I have been set to create a self portrait using available light whether that be natural (sunlight) or ambient (computer screen, lamps etc). During the first seminar we looked at the work of Nikki S. Lee who in ‘Projects’ affiliates herself with communities such as high school students and the elderly; from this…
