Technology Takeover!

This is another University project and I have chosen to address the rapid increase on dependancy of technology! 

Every single day a faster and better invention is being made...over the past 50 years we've evolved so much as human beings but what have we actually accomplished. We now L.O.L instead of actually laughing, we accept hundreds of friend requests every year on social media sites which are actually making us anti-social and keeping us from spending time with our true friends... We are getting lazier with the most simplest of things, spelling, maths, even day to day conversations are now abbreviated to the shortest they can be...my question is, what are we all in such a rush for anyway? I have noticed all around me that the worst thing that could happen in our day is that our mobiles run down to 30% battery, we panic and flee to our chargers making us plugged in but tuned out. 

Technology isn't all bad, I mean how else would I be addressing this topic without it, how would I fulfil my dream job without it? How would I be able to speak to my friends and family that are all over the world?....My question is however...When will we be satisfied with what we have created, when will we say enough is enough?...When our jobs are completely taken over by machinery? When we're cast off the top of the food chain? When we look up from our phones and realise that the world we had when we were growing up has disappeared into a cold metal one instead and this is what our children and grandchildren will ever know...No countrysides, no shops due to online shopping taking over, no playgrounds because they're all too busy playing on their own mobile phones, IPads, laptops, Xbox, Playstation and whatever new invention we create next to distract the children from seeing and experiencing the real world and nature....When do we say enough is enough?...

Here are my final 5 images ...

Street Photography 2!

So I set off out into Newport South Wales again on a mission to up my game in street photography...Using a whole different range of techniques such as, shooting from the hip, pretending to photograph something else to distract people when really you're totally looking at them...Using reflections I was able to capture numerous people all getting on with their own lives and it allowed me to get true faces and personality (this is a technique I will definitely try again)... and also just general grungy straight up street photography!...LOADS of fun and you can probably tell I do favour black and white street photography!

Sound off in the comments below and let me know what you all think of my new images!

My Final Images! Choices Choices!

So here are my first initial ideas for my final images!

Colourful, Yellow's and Blue's worked fabulously together! This lovely young man will be my authentic straight up final image!


LOVED this T-shirt! and her awesome red hair! Lovely close up and she shall be my fabricated final image!


The beautiful Katie! She was an exceptionally co-operative model running in and out of 'Costa Coffee' to get changed from one outfit after the other haha! This will be my manufactured final image!

Other possibilities I considered!

Welcome to UNIVERSITY!


WOW !! Uni life is really hitting hard now, so much work and so little time...My desk is a MESS, my floor is covered in paper and my laptop feels as if it's about to EXPLODE it's that hot!


Lots of cutting, sticking, organising, editing and shooting is being done!!
