In a bid to actually post up things, I’ve decided to start posting up inspiration and generaly cool photo/video stuff from around the net, probably do a little design tweek too, and clean things up a bit. Anyway…

First up is a very cool project for the ‘Let’s Colour Campaign’ by Euro RSCG London, shot by director Adam Berg over four weeks in Brazil, France, London and India. In the current tradition of ‘real’ adverts, I thought this was another Sony advert,as its shot in the same stop motion style with cool music, and very well directed. From the blub…

Let’s Colour is a worldwide initiative to transform grey spaces with colourful paint.

Grey is out. Gloom is gone. This is the beginning of a colour crusade that is spreading around the world. The more of us who join in, the bigger the splash will be. Come colour the world with us.

Update

I have now updated my portfolio site with images from my final project, and the start of my ‘What is England’ project.

Not been too quick on the updates recently, despite finishing uni. Off to Durdle Door this afternoon, so hopefully a photo or two to come from that…

End in sight.

After nearly two years I have just two weeks left of my university career. Both exiting an scary at the same time. Full post-uni chat to come soon as I’m currently sat writing up my sketchbook for my final project. Sketchbooking is one thing I won’t miss from Uni…

As for my final project, I chose to photograph people who ride bikes. Nothing unusual there. I could have done something ground braking, flown to far flung countries or whatever, but currently I wanted to have some environmental portraits in my portfolio to compliment my sports photos. After this project I think it will be something I will carry on, and I think I’ll try and branch out into and do more portraiture, especially from a commercial point of view.

In other news, I am participating in the year long photography project, ‘What is England‘, curated by Stuart Pilkington. Myself and 49 other photographers from around the country have set out to produce a series of images that answer six set briefs that reflect on our chosen counties, to build up a picture of England in 2010. The second photo ‘Group’, is now up on the site, the third photo, ‘Work’, will be up June 30th.
