As part of my experimentation processes for my photography work, I wanted to play around with the use of shutter speed in my camera to create different and cool effects to my images. The shutter speed is simply the nominal time the shutter is open. People use quite a quick shutter speed for when they want to capture a freeze photo of something in mid-action, such as someone jumping or the intricate details of a waterfall.
For my experimental photographs, I used a slow shutter speed which created blurry and distorted effects in the image. I left the shutter open for about 8 seconds, allowing the subject matter to move to create a 'trail-like' effect, as well as make it appear as there's doubles of her.
Creating photographs of this effect is quite easy, simply switch your camera settings (the rotary thing with the 'auto', 'manual', 'portrait', etc. features) to the 'S' feature which is the shutter-speed. Now, on the settings shown on your screen use the scroller at the top of your camera to change the shutter speed which is the "1/100" as shown below:

The higher it is, the more faster the shutter speed is, so if you want to create the same effects as my photographs, turn it lower so the numbers look like 1", 2", 6" 10", etc. If you turn it all the way down until it says BULB", that means you can customise your shutter speed.
Of course, this would all depend on what type of camera you're using but the easiest one to use if you're a beginner photographer is perhaps one of the Canon camera since they all have quite straightforward and easy settings with a very professional finish. If you still need help with your camera settings, or your photographs aren't turning out how you want it you can always pop me an email and I'd be very happy to help out! :)

Recently, I've been working on my final project which is 'diary'. The project is mainly about the 'tree of life' which reiterates what trees symbolise by linking it with my life in a form of different type of diaries: from accordion books to pieces of paper stuck together to form a surreal and elongated composition.
Our final project ends with a 10 hour exam (like this one and this) where we create a final response to the topic question 'Diary' by producing our second final design.
To create these weird effects, I simply tried out this bizarre, avant-garde way of taking the landscape photographs - I turned my camera settings to panorama and rolled down the hill! It sounds weird, but the photographs I took turned out eccentric!
I hope you enjoy these and I'll update my project's progression as often as I can and upload more photos of my work! When I (hopefully) finish my final design in the exam, I'll post it on a seperate post! The last day of the project is May 4th, so I'll try and post my completed project around that time!

My first final piece still needs some finishing and retouching and once I've completely finished it, I'll update as soon as I can! The image above is one of developmental study of one of my experimental landscape photography:

Hey!
So, over the weekend I worked on some photography and attempted to create fashion editorials that links with my identity and life.
I did some shots with friends around the local area then I edited them by adding filters, adjusting the tones and adding text to make it look like an actual fashion editorial from a magazine.
I'm not sure if I like this?
Above are the edited images. I can't upload the initial photographs or it'll take up a lot of storage! So here are my finished results and I hope you like them!

Here are some studies I started for my 'Disguise' art project:
The top left is a 'faceless' portrait of me, the idea inspired by the artist Gideon Rubin.
The one beside it is an Ariana Grande portrait covered and splattered in grey, black and white paint (powder I think) which was inspired by Januz Miralles.
Below is my still life drawing of a mask.
I am going to work on some photography today and maybe some tomorrow :)

PAINTING TIPS AND ADVICE:
I am not a professional nor did get any training but these are some tips and advice which I learned from my mistakes, my peers and teachers.
- So, first things first, before you start painting, make sure you do an outline of what you are about to paint or else you'll make a mistake an may have to start again!
- Build up the colour, especially if you are doing watercolour and even when you're doing any art with colour. If you are doing watercolour, start out light with your paint being a low opacity (but don't add too much water or your paper will crease) and then slowly build up the colour until you get your desired result.
- When painting, start with a light colour (e.g white), so there's lesser chance you'll make a mistake. Because if you start with a dark colour like black and you make a mistake, you can't go back. But if you start with a light colour and you make a mistake, then you can just paint over that with a dark colour.
Soo, these are my painting tips and advice. Hope you find these helpful and if you have questions you need further help, then you may inbox me here c:
Remember, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL and I don't know if it's the proper way but this is how I paint.
