My Travels With My Camera

I think it's fair to say I've been very lucky and visited some stunning places all over the world. Some of which I went to when I was much younger so I didn't get any photographs of. However, I do have some amazing photographs of places I have been over the past three and a half years of studying photography at A level and now my diploma & I wanted to make a little timeline of my adventures.

April 2012 - Gran Canaria

I went to Gran Canaria with my boyfriend's family for two weeks and we had an absolutely brilliant time! Here is a photograph of the gorgeous beach. Even in April it was so hot and just perfect for the kind of chilling holiday we were going for.



October 2012 - Turkey


Turkey with my own family, October was a bit of a risk going to Turkey because the weather wasn't always the best. However, I got some really interesting photographs there. I have been to Turkey a few times and always love it :) - just would advise to go during the Summer due to the bad weather. 



June 2013 - Paris

My first trip to Paris (apart from Disneyland but that doesn't technically count) I was soo excited when we decided to go for a short city break because it is a city that is very near the top of my bucket list! Apart from I just have to go back because I have to see everything at least once more :) just because it is soo beautiful!

August 2013 - Ibiza

I didn't take many photographs from this holiday because it was mainly just a relaxing one so there wasn't much to photograph. However we did have a terrace on the roof top of our villa so I did get some impressive sunset shots and one of a little lizard!




February 2014 - Budapest

This February I went on a college trip to Budapest. It was such a different city compared to places where I have been before and I was pleasantly suprised at just how much there was to do & see and how much I enjoyed it. I definitely want to go back there and if you haven't been there yet I would 100% recommend you to! 








August 2014 - Tunisia 

I have already wrote a blog post with photographs from my holiday to Tunisia this year so here is a link to that particular blog post. It was incredible! My first trip to Africa and I can't wait to see more of this beautiful country. 

I absolutely love travelling and all the places that I have been to have been amazing. I can't wait to travel more in the future to learn & see more things. 
I hope to go travelling around the world in 2016 after my 21st birthday and lots of saving up!!

However, 2015 still has some amazing places lined up for me :)

Rome - January 12th 2015
New York - February 2015 (fingers crossed !!!)
Florida - October 2015.

So watch this space for more travelling photographs and more about the new places I'm going to visit next year :)

Halloween Inspired Shoot

For the past week or so, I have been getting into the halloween spirit and wanted to organise a spooky photo shoot. Yesterday we went to a cemetery in Old Town, Swindon and spent the afternoon/evening shooting amongst the graves - which was so much fun :)

Here are some of my favourite images from the photo shoot:

What's in my camera bag ...

I haven't done a shoot this week so far, I have one organised for tomorrow afternoon so new photographs will go up tomorrow evening :)

So instead, I thought I'd write about my kit today, it's something a little interesting, I always like to know about other photographer's camera kit ( or maybe thats just me being nosey. )

Before we start, the quality of the images are 100% perfect because they have been taking on my iPhone 5. I just wanted some visuals to make this post a bit more fun.

I am a Canon girl and my camera is a 5D MK II and I adore it being a full frame sensor. The results are insane!





I have a polka dot blue and white striped camera strap from www.etsy.com



My camera bag is also from Etsy and is navy blue and brown, there are three compartments to it which I really like, makes it easy for each piece of my kit to have a specific place in the bag.



The lens that I use most often at the moment is my EF 50mm prime lens, f 1.4. This is an amazing lens for depth of field and for making each image look soft and slightly dreamy looking. - Something I love for candid shots and also for my fashion images.



The other lens I have is an Sigma Lens, Canon Fit, 24-105mm. This is great because you have a complete range to work with when shooting. You can be zoomed in on somebody but also take a wide angle shot too. ( unfortunately I haven't got a photo of it because my Grandparents have bought it for me for Christmas, bless their hearts <3 )

My flash gun is the Yongnuo speedlite. I bought it from Amazon and it has never let me down. I also bought the diffuser box that goes on top from Amazon.




I bought a camera cleaning kit from Amazon too. This came with a lens spray, a cloth, a brush and a few other things to make sure your camera always stays clean and dust free. - This was really cheap and I would recommend everyone to have it.




That is mostly all of my kit that I use from shoot to shoot, I do have a spare Canon camera and a Sony for a back up. I also have an old film camera that my Grandad gave to me, but I tend to only shoot on digital unless for special projects.

Come back and visit tomorrow evening where my new spooky graveyard photo shoot pics will be up :) Fingers crossed the rain doesn't make us have to cancel!!

Autumn Wedding

Today I photographed at a beautiful wedding for the first time in around three months, I couldn't believe how long it had been! Because I have been mainly focusing on my portrait and fashion shoots, I haven't had the chance to photograph many weddings.

My preferred wedding photography style is just candid, relaxed shots of guests and the bride & groom. I like to capture people's genuine emotions whether its tears or laughter, these kind of photographs are the ones that people will treasure forever and it will always remind them of their beautiful wedding day.

So without any further babbling from me, here are a few of my favourites from today :)

I think she found the speech embarassing

So there's a varied selection from throughout the day. It was a gorgeous wedding and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to photograph it :)
