It is becoming official (part 1)

Hey

I am studying photojournalism as my elective this year (and as my final year of studies of Journalism and Media Studies). I had the experience of building and putting together my first proper portfolio. Regardless of the amount of work I had to do towards the end of the term and pulling an all-nighter in the labs, I had lots of fun doing this. I have learnt a lot from the process and now know how to do better. After looking and working on these pictures for so long, I have grown to love and dislike some of my pictures. That does not change how proud I am of my work and of what I have learnt. I am even more excited to keep learning and adding on to my skills with every new photo I take.

Hello,

Earlier this year, I attended a formal dinner with my hall. After the dinner, I snapped a couple of shots of my friends and have decided to share them, I played around with the effects on my camera and edited them slightly over that. Hope you like them!

Silent Protest 2012 - "Sexual Violence = Silence"

Hello,

This year, with more participants, another successful silent protest was held at Rhodes University, Grahamstown. I was one of the photographers of the event and even though I was not taped this year, it is still an emotional experience. I hope the awareness was made and heard to all those within the borders of Grahamstown and beyond.

This specific picture is the one I used for a competition in the Photography Society in the university and won :)

It's all for CANSA!

Hello

Sadly, work and a lack of inspiration has gotten the best of me and I have been away from the camera. I recently took pictures of a Cansa Shavathon and Cyclathon that took place, so I have decided to share some pictures.

I'm reading the same book, just a different chapter.

Hello

It has most definitely been a while since I last posted. Well, I found these pictures I took of my friend a while back and she has allowed me to post them on -YAY! I'm on a new tip of taking pictures of random stuff and portraiture as I have overdone on the photo shoots just a little bit. So here goes and I hope you like the next posts :) Thanks Thato!

Hello,

Here are the last pictures of the photo shoot I had with Andrea :( It was fun and even though they took long to come up, they have made their way in - woop wooop! For these photos, we are just outside her residence and this time she wears a green strap top and mini white shorts with heels...I mean, Andrea is always in heels :P

I present to you Outfit # 3 - hope you like it

xoxo

It's blue and black - with a hint of silver.

Hello,

Here are more pictures I took of Andrea, only this time, I decided to edit them more than what I normally do. Since her outfit is not seen in all the pictures, I shall tell you what she was wearing - her outfit was made up of a loose black blouse, mini jean shorts, heels and jewellery.

I present to you Outfit # 2 - hope you like it!

Dynamite comes in small packages...

Hello,

Having the photography bug in me, I have taken more pictures, only this time, of Andrea. These were in other areas of G-town and in the short period of time, we managed to get many shots in different outfits :)
I present to you Outfit # 1 - hope you like them :)

Top Shots!

Hello

From all I pictures I took of Dee, these were my favourites!

xoxo

Love me for Me!

Hello,

Referring back to when I posted about being part of a photo shoot for Fiona, here are my favourite pictures that she took of me that day. Thinking back to the moment, the chosen quote and looking at my emotion on all the pictures, I am certain that no other quote would suit me better and at that very moment, life was beautiful. I had no worries, no negative emotions and everything was triumphant! :)

I shall remember this moment, cherish the moment and live in such a way that this radiant feeling is around me at all times. I am the person I have become and I shall not apologise if I do not fit your profile. Love me for me  for I am not normal and have no idea on how to be normal.

Once again, thanks Fee!


xoxo
