This incredible. It’s a time-lapse of European cities. It’s shot so well, there’s no flicker between shots, the transitions are smooth. Plus it’s shot with the camera I own, so it’s amazing to see what could be done with it!

Monday post series #4: photoshoots I’ve loved
This week it’s “Shelving the Body” by Darragh Casey. This is really interesting, it’s a different take on the “I’ll photograph my family with their possessions” kind of shoot. The composition is great, it doesn’t take away from any part of the photo and each object is given equal weight and prominence in the photograph. This is an inspiration-type post for me, too as I’m looking to start an archive project but I need ideas on what to do.
Tuesday post series #3: vidoes I’ve loved
This week it’s “Much Better Now”. This is incredible, it’s a mixed-media short film about a bookmark who falls out of his book and goes on an amazing adventure! The character itself is quite likable, I think and the narrative is solid and runs through the whole video.
Monday post series #3: photoshoots I’ve loved
This week it’s Roman Gorchakov’s images of Ekaterina for Touchpuppet. I loved this shoot. The colours are amazing, they colourful clothes are complimented by the yellow cast dominant in most of the photos. The lighting suggests a dreamy quality to the images and compliments the model.
Friday post series #3: bucket list
So the third thing on my bucket list is “build a bookcase”. I love having things that I can say I’ve made myself and bookcase really seems like the perfect thing: it’s something I’ve made myself and it holds books (something I’m obsessed with).
Judging by my lack of handyman skills this will take FOREVER to actually come to fruition so for now here’s some pretty bookcases to give me some inspiration.
Wednesday post series #2: what inspires me at the moment
I’m currently in pre-production for a couple of advertisements for my local Credit Union (with Chai Media, obviously ;)) so I’ve been looking at their other ads for some inspiration. None of them are very inspiring, seeing as we want to take a different stance on this and do something completely out of the ordinary. Therefore I’ve been inspired by the following:
Tuesday post series #2: vidoes I’ve loved
This is amazing. There’s a great use of space and the editing keeps the action flowing nicely
Monday post series #2: photoshoots I’ve loved
Here’s the second installment of my Monday post series: photoshoots I’ve loved.
This series is by Txema Yeste for Numero China April 2012 issue. This is amazing. The images are quite avant-garde and are dark and Gothic but are colourful and sensual at the same time. The images have quite an experimental feel to them, which is probably why I love them so much.
Friday post series #2: bucket list
I’ve had an uber busy weekend, from working to seeing the new exhibition in the Gallery of Photography to hanging my own photographs in a group exhibition so I’ve only got time to post about this series now. I’m sitting in my room, listening to the rain batter the window outside so I thought I might as well post this now. So sorry about it being a couple of days late!
#2: Celebrate folk traditions by attending Feile Iorras
Feile Iorras is an annual international folk festival held in Dublin in July.
“One of the main aims in setting up the Feile was to promote integration and understanding between the people of Erris and various communities throughout the world. This is done by inviting groups from around the world to take part in the festival and to maximize contact between the groups and the people of Erris during the Feile.”
Here are a few photos from last year’s festival:
Thursday post series #1: personal updates
Here’s the first of my Thursday posts: updates on everything that’s happened to me in the last few weeks. At the moment, I’m in the process of registering a business name for my new venture: Chai Media (partnership with my friend [and model for my studio shoot today] Chesney). We’re in pre-production for a couple of advertisements for my local Credit Union so that’s keeping us busy. Between that and my current internship at The Picture Rooms photography studio on Fridays and Saturdays, I’m pretty much busy all day every day! It’s good being busy though, I feel like I need to be out doing things every day so this is fueling that nicely!
I had a studio shoot with Chesney today, like I said, for my portfolio for college for next year. It went so well, we played around with low-key lighting and silver glitter for the day! I’ll post up the edited images next week. For now though, it’s sleep time for me!
