My Trip To Venice

So far, 2016 has been crazy for me. Good crazy though :)

Since graduating, I have been to Florida, got a new job & celebrated my 21st birthday!!

One of my many amazing gifts, was a city break to Venice for three days with my boyfriend! It was the most amazing trip and Venice is so so beautiful. If you haven't been, i would highly recommend a visit. 

I know I haven't blogged in forever, but I am going to start trying more and organise some photoshoots for the weekends now that Summer is almost upon us :)

Here are my favourite snaps of my three days in Venice, shot with my Canon 5D MK ii and 24-105mm lens.

Enjoy <3 

Calling all book worms

For Christmas this year, I received a few photography books as presents & I'm so excited to have some time to sit down and read them.
I haven't had chance to read any of them yet so this isn't a review blog post or anything like that, it's just a post to tell you which ones I'm excited about :-)

Tim Walker - Storyteller

The first book I got was Tim Walker's Storyteller. I absolutely love this book!! I went to see the exhibition whilst studying my A levels and it was amazing. I find it so inspiring to flick through and get some ideas for future shoots of my own. It's such a heavy book but worth it for all the amazing imagery inside! The main intentions for the book were to recreate fairytales and children's tales in the fashion world. It is incredible & a must read for every budding photographer out there!!

Lonely Planet's Best Ever Photography Tips 

This is my favourite just because of the amazing front cover that looks like a camera!! This book is all about techniques and tips to help you when photography mainly location & travel pictures. This is something I am really interested in as a hobby and I haven't had as much time as I would like to flick through it yet but it looks really interesting. There are also some fantastic photographs in there too! Anyone who is looking to travel or take some travel images even when just on holiday then I would recommend this. :) 

Unseen Vogue - The Secret History of Fashion Photography

I can't wait to start reading this book! The photographs in there are so amazing & have given me some amazing ideas for my own future shoots. It's really interesting to see some examples of photographs that never made it into Vogue because of the composition or exposure, & it proves just how tough the fashion industry really is. Really interesting and a must read for anyone who loves fashion or portrait photography. 

Thats all for now, I will review these books and write a blog post when I have read them all.

Check them out on Amazon if you are interested in buying a copy :) www.amazon.co.uk

Wishing everyone a happy new year :) 

NYC To Do List..

Last week I paid my deposit to go to New York with my college in February and I am honestly soo soo excited!! It's gonna be amazing, so I'm writing my blog post this week on my top to do's while I am there, there will be loads more things that I want to do but I'm just going to narrow my list down for the purpose of this blog post.

By the way these are not in any sort of order! Just an order of what I could think of first in my head :)

10. Staten Island Ferry

9. Statue of Liberty

8. Empire State Building 

7. Rockerfella Centre

6. Central Park

5. Brooklyn Bridge

4. Maceys

3. Times Square

2. Grand Central Station

1. Ground Zero

There is the main list of the things I'd like to do in New York City, after I start researching and reading travel blogs I will add things to the list and probably have about 50 things to do on it! Think I'm going to need to stay there for 5 weeks not just 5 days! If anyone has any ideas of things to do while I'm over there I'd love to know :) 

London Town

Here is a photo diary of my trip in London from the weekend .. :)

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! 

The ''Love Lock'' Bridge in Paris (Pont de l'Archeveche)

Eiffel Tower

The Notre Dame

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. 

Travelling around Tunisia

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 :)
