Old Photography and Art

Sunday morning and it's completely miserable, wet and black outside. Not to mention freezing. Today im supposed to be modelling for my friends fashion photography again. Im quite excited but also nervous as i havnt done it in years! These were my favourite ones that he took a long time ago...

They were supposed to be demonstrating how the whole vanity, beauty and makeup thing has gone so over the top that it's almost unnattractive and sickly. I think i look pretty scary and greasy :S But i love how rich and vibrant the overall images came out. Im not sure why the fruits were neccessary, I must admit-it was quite amusing trying to keep a serious face while rubbing fruit all over it. The worst one was definately where i had to lick a coconut and pretend i was enjoying it!


Here we go....

That second one makes me laugh!


Anyway as you can probably guess I've been going through loads of old stuff and dug out these old photographs and drawings. I miss the summer, i love just going off cycling or walking in fields and finding somewhere to sit down for a few hours and draw weird fantasy art.

I did these while sitting in a field near my dads house, as you can probably tell i love doing biro sketches, you can get so much detail and it stands out so much sharper than when using pencil. I cant wait until it's summer again and i can start getting out more often and get inspired!

    Also, the fruits are kind of a cool addition! It provides an awesome contrast to the red makeup.

  5. These are oustanding - biro is never easy but you have used it brilliantly to create texture.
