This picture was taken at college, i had to capture the footballers passing the ball to each other, it sounds easy but believe me its far from that, you was not allowed to use any setting but Manuel  and have to chose the right  shutter speed to be able to capture the ball moving and still keep everyone and everything focused, and also capturing the Line (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, perspective lines.

THIS IS MOTION BLUR!!! @itsIFFYtime https://twitter.com/itsIFFYtime

this is motion blur under Uva lighting,to me is very magical photo, this photo is completely natural no editing at all just the Uva lights and motion blur 

Working with the Art

The look of a winner, the camera reflected this as you guys will see when the video is dropped, the body art was a huge bonus. whilst filming on set i spent a bit more time than i should on this lady but can you blame me? the camera loved her it was like the camera was her soul mate every move she made the camera felt like it was alive and breathing on puls to her dancing... what a great day to be a camera man/ director

UVA forever

UVA scene of "If We Meet Again"

This scene was one of my favourite, but also one of the most challenging, the positioning of the uva light was so very important even if one light was an inch out of place the effect that myself and my team where trying to achieve would be no longer.


this photo in its original size look better but look past that, the depth of this picture, at first looks pretty basic, but in my opinion it has a lot more meaning the two girls facing the camera with a slight smile on there face, looking as beautiful as they can possibly be brighting up the dark "i mean that also on a more spiritual meaning. whilst the guy at the back is going over his dance steps, its funny how a camera can capture so much memorise and meaning with just a flash of a light.

Artists

This is an artist know as SWEELDAAG, this picture was taken at the "If we meet again Video shoot"


There are many reason why i chose this picture , the contrast was one of the reason why i chose this photo,  i personally love the dark background against the brightly coloured clothing of SWEELDAAG really makes him stand out. The UVA bouncing of his whites really adds to the photo contrast. This photo has depth-of-filed is up to its eye balls, the Artist believe it or not is standing in the middle of the dance floor (if you look closely  at this  picture you will be able to see what im saying). the reason i chose to take this shot from this angle was simple  it reflected the lighting  better  and also to stop my shadow form being in the frame.  The exposure as you can see it low and not at all very revelling but that was the intention of  the music video its bassed in a night club, so we had a problem how do you show its a typical night club without bombarding it with lights  destroying the natural look of the night club and still have enough light to capture the face dance, singers etc. i originally thought lighting a night club will be a piece of cake... oh very wrong i was, the time spent angling and moving the light was frustrating hour of the general set up, but would not change it for the world as it showed me a lot of different ways i can work with angles .  

this are some pictures i took whilst playing with motion Blur at my college #SouthsideCollege, learning to use motion blur has really help me take pictures that i feel are more artistic, the reason i say this is because photo with this new skill i learnt look more magical and serial, like it was taken in a far distant land and also when i show them to people i get a different reaction every time.
