architecture & buildings with character

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the University College Suffolk building near the Waterfront in Ipswich, aptly named the Waterfront Building.  The building can be described as bold but also contemporary and the graceful curves which circumscribe it somehow seem to extend upwards as well as outwards.  Because of this illusion, images of the building taken from different aspects  seem to merge into continuity.

I post processed the images with quite a grungy feel and underexposed the shots to get maximal detail in both the glass and the sky, the clouds adding interest to the reflections in the glass.

I enjoy shooting buildings as architecture has always been of interest to me - from the baroque to the modern there is always something to catch my attention and I am constantly observing buildings to see how they are changing with time, as social, economical and environmental factors leave their mark.

Hope you like this image set - do leave a comment at the end of the post if you find this work of interest.  Thank you! :)

 

bellezza in flagrante...

I only recently realised that I haven't yet blogged about this series, a wedding themed shoot for Norfolk's own Cancer Charity, Big C, a few months back .  However today I will blog about one particular image I picked up this week.  I occasionally look back at image sets and try and post process them again, when I am in a different mood.

I chose this image of Poppy Keith to look back at this time.  I love the way her hair flies across her face, just like a poster for a manga book or film would, but with the soft curls giving a completely different effect, the door providing a narrative to add to the surprise and movement in her pose, whilst the colours of the foliage complement the scene and do not detract away from it. 

'Bellezza in Fragrante' is beauty caught red-handed, which to me describes the image perfectly....

I hope you love it as much as I do :)

Contact me for commercial and fashion assignments as well as portrait photography, in Norfolk and Hertfordshire.  I am always looking for exciting projects to work on. :)
