The cow has jumped over the moon too many times to count, in more homes than it is possible to imagine. It will do so again tonight, over and again. The moon is everywhere, all the time in every culture and throughout human history. This is a story about objects in glass cases, the moon in the ni...

Saturday 31st October 2015. Our pilot Out There Challenge dawns on a crisp autumnal day. 16 nervous University of Leeds students are welcomed into Leeds City Gallery before opening time. They have daringly signed up to the challenge with just two assurances. They will get their hands on an exclusive...
Welcome to my Yarn! For my introduction I would like to welcome you to my blog and more specifically how I'd like to start my journey to the creation of my five photographs for the module. For Themes in Contemporary Photography, my initial interest lies with how young adults in today's society port...
My final photography project focusing on the expression of drag artists, especially the contrast between the extroverted performing appearance to introverted and private environments, such as the home.
For our photography walk project, I chose to follow the brief to create a series of portraits, where the subjects themselves chose how they'd like to be photographed. To take a slightly different spin on this, I chose to take my portraits of various shop mannequins - pre-posed and dressed by the ow...
We have been set the task to create a 5 picture portfolio. These images have to be related and able to express meaning and depth, as well as being technically impressive. I will use this blog to document my thought process in trying to produce the best 5 pictures I possibly can. Enjoy.
“Without freedom of press what is government but an unchallenged, deaf, old power” – Peter Kennard
Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, government or society itself, into improvement.
Wandering how I was going to go about achieving such a style, I went in search of other examples of this. What I came across wasn’t necessarily photography, but was crucial in my understanding of the power of satire.
We went on a photography walk as part of our 'Themes in Contemporary Photography' module. Given a choice of several tasks, ranging from 'create a story from images' to 'portraits concerning representation' we were to decide what direction we wanted to take and put it into practice.
When asked to present my favourite image I liked to think that it would be a very difficult job to choose from hundreds of images that I loved. However, this image jumped straight into my head when the task was given...

In our first lecture on Themes in Contemporary Photography, I was taken with the idea of 'sharing' and how this related to photography, and how the two have changed and evolved together. In the past, the photograph was a physical object that was passed around the hands of grandparents, aunts and unc...
Capturing a moment and manipulating the viewer's perception of it, could involve physically or digitally altering an image.
On October 4th 2015, approximately 80,000 people from all corners of the country descended on Manchester to tell the government exactly what they thought of them....and it wasn't positive.
Walking along the sea banks, about to catch our ferry to the beautiful island of Symi. Along the way I noticed a magnificent statue, an Angel. This is where I took my favourite picture.
We have built our world to be square, largely for the sake of practicality. Buildings are constructed to fill square plots, and have square rooms with square walls to arrange our mostly square furniture within. In this story, I intend to explore examples of those daring enough to build outside the...
This story will follow my changing thoughts and ideas as I embark on a new photography project that aims to explore photography in a contemporary framework.
New York City in thirty years time. Ravaged by the Change, making it an inhospitable environment. People must wear protective clothing before venturing outdoors to shield themselves from the harsh rays of the sun. They retreat -- gathering at subterranean bars, restaurants and even parks, to escape...
