Culture Night 2015 - Dublin
friday, september 25th was dedicated to culture night in Ireland. culture night is an annual event, not only in Dublin but all around the country. the main aim of this event is to celebrate culture, creativity and the arts within people's own location. on culture night, venues such as museums, galleries and historic buildings extend their opening hours for the public's enjoyment. along with this, other buildings which hold significant cultural history, and which usually wouldn't be open to the public, open up their doors for one night only! culture night for me this year was especially important as it was my first experience of this event in the city of Dublin. as it would be impossible to fit everything in, my main interests were Merrion Square (Downstairs Dublin) and Temple Bar. for me, these two locations hold the most history in Dublin and are two of my favourite parts of the city.

one of the highlights of my summer is also one of the happiest, if not the happiest, moment of my life to date. after being awake all through the night, 6am finally came and i got offered a place on the photography course at Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology. being 1 of 2 photography degree courses in Ireland, and with only 30 out of 600 applicants being offered a place this year, i still can't believe how lucky i am to now be part of this amazing college. i am really looking forward to what the next 4 years has to offer! :)
YAAAY!
YAAAY!

vacant dreams; reading, uk
the following three images are from an ongoing series, 'vacant dreams'. this series looks at spaces, objects, things that are left behind while people go about their daily business. for example, someones bed/bedroom and the way it appears after being slept in the previous night; how the sheets appear with different creases and folds, how clothes left lying around a room jump out and captivate me by how they lay. in this series i want to show the mystery i find in these places and things.

portrait of a place - finals
i'm just gonna continue on posting here as if a whole summer hasn't past without posting anything.... (i'm the worst)
here are my final images for the 'portrait of a place' assignment. this assignment was also my final project as a student at Reading College :)
for this assignment we were first asked to find and shoot 10 different locations. from our 10 chosen locations, we had to go back and shoot 3 locations of choice with a different approach. we had to use different technologies such as different cameras and shoot the locations from different vantage points, with different framing and just play around with the location. we then had to choose one location as our final location. for me, i chose my garden shed. the cameras i used were pinhole camera, 35mm analogue film, medium format film and digital. for my final shoot i used digital camera. i would have preferred to have shot my final images on film, as my main influence, photographer Uta Barth, shot her out of focus images on 35mm film, but as i only had access to processing black and white film, i stuck with digital as these images needed to be in colour to show their true detail. i chose to shoot my final images out of focus because i had just discovered the photographer Uta Barth, and i really admired her out of focus/blurred images. i found it interesting how even though the subjects of the images i studied were out of focus, i was still able to identify and make a connection with them. i also shot in out of focus because it relates back to my first project i did at the beginning of my time in Reading College last October - ::: mystery; familiar yet unfamiliar places ::: - and i thought this was a nice end to, not only my college life, but also to my time living in England.
my final images were created around 9th June 2015.
