Beauty at the last TICK-TOCKING minute

On November 18th 2011, I was on the verge of extreme desperation after being dropped/let down the evening before. I had my last model for my college photography project organised and in fact it was with a Professional Model. We arranged the time for the shoot and on the day before the shoot November 17th, whilst I was in fact conducting a photo shoot with someone else, I got an email to say "I'm unable to do the photo shoot. Something came up for tomorrow and I really cant change it. I'm so sorry for the short notice."
I wasn't angry, I was stuck. I hoped everything was alright with her and hoped that everything would be alright with me. I PLANNED/NEEDED TO HAVE 10 MODELS FOR MY PROJECT, THERE WAS NO WAY I WAS HANDING IN 9.

The PCB Graffiti shoot stood the weather test

Tuesday 17th January 2012, was the day PCB had a graffiti themed photo shoot but it was sadly the coldest day of the year at that point (in my opinion).
I had three locations planned for the photo shoot. Two graffiti scenes and another that was a complete contrast to the graffiti.
I knew it was going to be cold that day, so as I prepared what I was going to wear, I chose layers of clothes (although I dislike layers) and as I planned the look with my model, I told her to ensure that she was warm too. The cold weather is not for me and I make it my priority as the Photography to make sure my models are comfortable in every sense of the word.
I had some great ideas for the shoot, especially because we were going to two other locations so I wanted the ideas and creativity to keep flowing.

PCB on Instagram

I've known about Instagram for a while and to be honest, I got the app on my iPod Touch weeks ago and its just been sitting there.
For some very strange reason, last night I decided to start using it. I've seen what it is capable of and I really like it. Through my photography I'm able to be artistic, creative and express positivity but Instagram allows you to take it a few steps further. In terms of my photography, I can see them in a different light, add an interesting filter that flips its script, recreates the original and gives it a tone that I probably wouldn't have imagined using when capturing the shot.
I've decided to go back through my extensive archive of photos and upload them to Instagram. Once that is done I post it to the PCB Twitter @PCBphotography and that means if you haven't got the app you can have a look at them via the link.
