Thursday 8th March 2012- Friday 9th March 2012
A film that I worked on during my second year of university, called Violet, which I co-wrote with the director, needed photography work doing for the DVD cover, shots for the actors to use, also for us to use as evidence of our work, as it is always good to photograph during the shoot for a film.
As the art director, I grabbed the opportunity to take the photos we needed, and was very pleased with the results, I've been given quite a bit of praise for them considering how modest a shoot it was, trying to get enough time with the actors between their scenes to direct them on how to pose for the camera and the feelings that I wanted to come across. I also made sure I took a lot of shots while the cameras were rolling, both of cast and crew, these also turned out very nicely.

Photography for musical rendition of, Theseus and the Minotaur
As well as helping to film the final year performance put on by a band of students, of their composition rendition of the story of Theseus and the Minotaur, I also was the key photographer. I enjoyed this as it was great to experience the music that intimately, having to get up close to the performers and equipment during practice and the actual thing without getting in the way of the audience or distracting anyone was a good challenge that I carried out accordingly.
Again, despite this being a small and modest shoot, I received a lot of praise for the work I did which was really nice, as the best bit was giving the photos to the performers as a memory of the performance that they did so well in.

Photography for Motion House, 'Ship Build'
Friday 11th May 2012
As part of the celebrations for the London 2012 Olympic Games, Motion House dance troupe had decided to do their performance on a ship built from cargo boxes, steel frame work and wooden panels. It was put together in a warehouse at the NEC where I went in to photograph the ship's build, as was part of a team also filming a time lapse of the build for Motion House.
