Off we trot to the party. Camera in hand, of course.

Sunday morning had been highly anticipated in our household. It was Party Day!!!
My daughters 'Best Preschool Friend' had (inevitably) turned 5. Which of course gives way to a fabulous celebration.
A party teeming with small girls, add two ponies and BAM! Recipe for success.

Tilly, my daughter. Horse Mad.

Like a Pro.

Look at those faces. Euphoria.

There is no other place in the world this kid wants to be.

In these moments, I'm grateful for my camera and the art of photography.

Until next time, 

Rosy.

The First Class Assignment.

The first week of study is done and dusted, and I am so fired up about whats to come.
I have been dreaming of doing this for as long as I can remember. But it was never a reality, until now. Life is coming up roses!


Our first (solo) assignment with a camera was a fun one. We were sent out with a list of 10 subjects to shoot, and around 40 minutes and a campus to do it.
By biggest lesson was in punctuality. Take a time piece with you, if you are anything like me and become completely absorbed in the click of a camera.

'interior'


I chose the stair well, as I hoped the collection of lines would contrast in the way I hoped.
I was very happy with how this turned out. Straight from camera it was a frame I liked, it took one simple edit to get this end result. Which is how I imagined it could look.

My tutor, Chris Hill, NZIPP, saw this frame as fitting more the prompt of 'texure'. What do you think?

'Repetition of Shape'


A simple rubbish bin, with a pattern that provided an angle that caught my attention.

'Triplets'

Three of a kind, of anything we were told. I wasn't looking for chess pieces when I entered the library. But was so glad I stumbled across them.

'Portrait'


I walk around campus, and see so many people with fascinating features that could translate so well into photographs. Whether its dark skin against bright headphones, a striking hair cut or a smile and light in the eyes that sparks my imagination.
I have a passion for capturing people candidly, images that really do take a snap shot of their current mood, their personality and the feeling of the moment.

These are the photos from the exercise that show a sense of 'me'.Who I am aiming to become as a photographer. The style that I am going for, and an accurate portrayal of where my art is at present.

So until next time, which should be soon....

The beginning...

She took the leap and built her wings on the way down

I finally did it. I took the leap that I've been too scared to take. I have gone back to school.....
Though my mind has been hungering for knowledge of all kinds, there is a

field that speaks to my soul.
Photography. Seeing a moment, feeling a moment, capturing it, having it speak to me as art.
So this is my journey. Starting as an 'amateur' and maturing into the photographer I know I can be. 

This is where the fun begins. A platform for learning, creativity and positive assessment, with the added charm of social media.

I will be posting as often as I can shoot and 'create'. 

So see you soon world,

Rosy.
