BAFTAs, FTP and Batteries

It's a very long day. We need to check in for our accreditaion before midday; before "loading" the pen at 1pm. Arrivals on the Red Carpet happened between 2pm and 4:30pm, at which point we transfered to the Winners Press room where we settled until about 8:40pm.

Lee Miller

Last Monday I travelled up to London on my day off to visit the Lee Miller exhibition at Tate Britain. I’m writing this post from handwritten notes I took whilst sitting in the exhibition and as I re-write them, referring to the show catalogue, I am starting to realise that maybe her work has more influence on me than I thought.

Self Portrait – Day 5 of 7

Friday and I had a little more time today, I also had left the lights out from the day before as the plan was to build on that. (In case you have not noticed, I decided after the first 2 days to also show the way a portrait can be built in the same location with easy changes to the lighting).

Did the Christmas Photo-fairy visit?

In the display cases, there was a camera (surprise!). One I was very aware of. One I have steared clear of. One for which I have no business case whatsoever.

Berlin…. (again!)

A few years ago, in Berlin, I was persuaded by another photographer to continue writing this blog (I had taken some time out back then). It seemed appropriate that I should wait till I was here again to start re-writing.
