Outtakes

I always love to have fun on all my shoots and with Emily and Emma we always have such a good laugh, I love working with them.

We tried some 'outtake' shots yesterday, just some silly head and shoulder kind of shots and the results look amazing.

Final piece....

90's Inspired Shoot

Today I got back into the swing of things and had a couple of hours in the studio with my dream team, Emily & Emma :)
We photographed some dresses that a fashion design student has made for her course and then after we were inspired by 'Kate Moss 1990's' and here are some of the results.....

Model: Emma Phipps
Make Up Artist: Emily Cutts

More photographs will be coming soon :-)

Just need some extra time to edit them <3

Throwback Tuesday

I have so many exciting photoshoots lined up and I can't wait to share all the photographs. I haven't done a fashion and make up shoot for ages now and I'm missing my team, Emily & Emma. Can't wait to be working with them again over the next few weeks, watch this space. Many more photographs will be posted soon :)

These are some of my favourite photographs for a reflective kind of blog post. :)

Secret Garden

My Aunty is a budding artist & is currently studying art and design. She asked me to photograph her final piece for her 'Sense of Place' project. The idea is a weaving ball made out of willow, ivy and branches all from the garden. There is a scary doll's head, arm and old tea set that is placed in the middle to represent the eerie side to an enchanted, forbidden garden.

Here are the photos, I hope you like the final piece. :)

Feeling Dotty

I had been waiting for today's shoot for about 4 weeks & I was so so excited. It was a brilliant day & the photographs are amazing!!!

All were taken for Bunny Pumpkin Boutique, Go & check out the shoes, they are insane!

MUA: Emily Cutts
Model: Vega La Vamp

These are a few of my favourite images & the rest will follow in the next week or so :)

Interim Evaluation

I set up my blog in September 2014 for my Specialist Practice unit in HND photography. I knew absolutely nothing about blogs before I started this unit and the whole idea absolutely petrified me!!

I thought that I was going to be talking to a big, empty room & no one would be reading my blog or looking at my photographs but after a few weeks, I started to gain twitter and blog followers and page views which was mega exciting!!!!

It is really interesting to look at other photographers work on their blogs & twitter, then comment on photographs that I really like & also get comments on my own work from other people too.

I have found lots of inspiration from other bloggers for various photo shoots, whether it be make up & hair, outfit or location ideas.

Bloglovin is a website where everyone can read their favourite blogs all in one place. It has been such a helpful website to find other bloggers like me and other photographer's blogs too, gain followers and find photographs that I like. I also set up a photography Twitter account so that I could reach other creatives through social media, using hashtags and relevant hashtags means that you gain a wider audience because people will be able to see your tweets when they search for a certain thing. This means that the kind of audience I have been reaching are the kind of people who are interested in similar things to myself such as particular tv shows, photography or something that was newsworthy at the time.
Twitter works the same as a blog, the more people that I have been following, the more followers that I have gained. The more times I tweet & blog, and the more active I am, then the response is bigger. I have really enjoyed being active on Twitter and also my Facebook page, it has benefitted me by more people noticing my photographic services & wanting me to photograph events for them, such as weddings, parties or family photos etc.

My main blog posts have been surrounding my own photography work such as shoots I have done in the past, weddings and my most recent fashion shoots. It is really good to network with people such as models, make up artists and designers. By blogging, you can post links to their websites, Twitters or Facebook pages so that any readers can reach them too if they wanted.
I have also blogged about other creatives such as fashion photographers, youtube vloggers and designers and had a handbag designer tweet about me and my photograph that I took for her, which is such a rewarding feeling for all of my hard work.

My main reason for blogging has been to get my name and photographs out there for the world to see. I think that I still have a long way to go as I only have 76 followers on Bloglovin but I think that seeing as it has only been 6 months then there is still time to gain more of an audience in the future. I will still continue to blog even though the deadline for this project is fast approaching because I think it is a good habit that I have gotten into by blogging at least twice a week. It means I am always being active on Twitter, aswell as blogging, interacting with other creative people and going out & taking new photographs.

I have really enjoyed the project, as I have learnt more about the technical side to putting together a blog & also setting up my own website. - www.danniellehuntphotography.com
This is something that I didn't know how to do before and even though it is a learning progress I am getting there slowly. :-)

Thank you to everyone who has followed me and been reading my blog posts over the last 6 months, be sure to keep posted for many more photo shoots & blog posts to come. There should be plenty more next weekend after my exciting photoshoot for Bunny Pumpkin Boutique tomorrow & then after my travels to New York!

I will be posting soon so watch this space!

Vintage Photoshoot

For one of my university projects, I have to recreate a vintage smoking advertisement. I choose to re-create a vintage smoking ad from the 1940's/50's.

I managed to get access into the STEAM museum in Swindon & use the vintage Buffet Car as the location.
I'm really pleased with the photographs & am SO SO excited for my retro pin up photo shoot next Saturday, so watch this space for those photographs :-)

Megan Razey is the glamourous model featured in this photos, she is a photographer too. Check out her blog - www.meganrazeyphotography.blogspot.co.uk  :-)

Smoke Trails

This week, my experimentation task at college was to photograph smoke trails. Ideally, doing this in a studio set up with proper lights and a back drop would work best, however I didn't have the time to book up the studio at college so I made my own set up at home.

I used two incense sticks (to make sure the smoke was thick), a black bed sheet for a background, my flashgun & a torch to light the smoke. It took a while to start to get some shots that I was happy with but after a lot of patience and trial & error, I got some final shots that I'm really pleased with. My camera settings for these were: ISO 100, 1/200 (Some 1/160) and f 6.5. I also had my camera on manual focus so that it was easier to focus on the smoke.

In Photoshop I changed the colours of the smoke to make them look more interesting & stand out against the black. Here are my favourites :-)
