PDF Files

Portable Document Format; also known as PDF is a computer document which look exactly like the original documents the person/s have created. The document can be shared with others who are able to open & see/read the document (regardless of which software they use). PDF files were developed by Adobe Systems, and served as a way for people using multiple word processing systems to share finished documents. An advantage of the PDF file is that the file can be locked by the creator of the document and can't be edited by others, and that's even is they also have the software! Because the documents are secure, the originator of the document maintains a high level of control, even when the document has been distributed widely.

River Exe Photoshoot (Postcards & Genres)

These 3 images were from a photo shoot I did early this year inspired by postcards and landscape images.

The dramatic lighting adds atmosphere and gives a good contrast of colour and silhouetting.

Inspired by a photo taken by Peter Fraser

A postcard I created for the Genres Part 2 project. I actually really like the ripples of the water in this image, it gives a bit of  meaning. I would of liked to experiment with shutter speed a bit more (slow shutter) which would make the water look completely flat and also look moving.

Vintage shoot! (Genres)

I did this shoot as part of a photography task in the 'Genres' Project. I am really pleased with some of the final images. Presented on this post are 6 of my favourite photos from the shoot. I love the colour of the background, it adds even more of a vintage look to the images. Amy's hair piece is considered to be a big part in the photos.
