Well... this is it... the end of the year exhibition at the Old Truman Brewery. It's also the end of four years of studying for me which has been a lot of hard work, but great fun as well. As a lot of you will already know, for my Final Project, I've been working on [...]
Took a visit to this fabulous little Music Hall last week to meet up with a friend for a few drinks. I hadn't heard of Wilton's until they suggested it as a good photography location for my #SteampunkNow Project. And it is a cracking location! The building dates from the mid-1700s and walking through the [...]
Got my test prints from WhiteWall... They look really good, very pleased with them. I ordered three different types of print, using the same photograph so that I could compare the different finishes with the same image. This is what I ordered: - Original photo print under acrylic glass - Direct print on aluminium Dibond [...]
Apologies for being a bit slow on the updates with the project but I've been so busy taking photographs and working on my Uni coursework that I've neglected the website updates. A Brief Recap: My aim is to produce a series of photographs (for exhibition and an accompanying book) that captures the Steampunk culture as [...]
I'll be going to quite a few Steampunk Events this year, not just for the Project but that they are such great fun and a bunch of lovely people! In fact... I have a confession to make... I am a Steampunk! There... I've said it... Yes, I have a growing collection of Victorian style clothing, [...]
Wow! Just been sent a link by one of my contacts on the British Steampunk Community Facebook group to a photographer called Klaus Pichler. He's produced a body of work/project under the title Just the Two of Us, a collection of photographs of Cosplayers, Furries and LARP'ers and Trolls at home and in their costumes. [...]
Two shoots in to the project and I'm really enjoying myself, not only the photography but also meeting and talking to the Steampunks. The amount of work and time they put in to their costumes, persona and back stories is astounding! As well as that, they are just really nice people. As for the project [...]

I went along to Great Kentspectations Pre-Halloween Party in Maidstone last night. This was a trip arranged to get some more photographs for Project Steampunk, I've been talking to the organisers for a few weeks and I was really looking forward to the event. I'd hoped to get some nice portrait photographs but really had [...]
The Guildhall in London has an exhibition on at the moment called Victoriana: The Art of Revival, quoting their website it describes the show as: From the macabre to the quaint, the sensational to the surreal, ‘Victoriana: The Art of Revival’ is the first ever exhibition in the UK to offer a major examination of [...]
As some of you may be aware from my recent Blog Posts (see right hand side menu) I've been tinkering with the idea of producing a series of photographic portraits of Steampunks for the third year of my BA in Photography. Well... the Project has started (I think it deserves a capital 'P') with a [...]
I've had all Summer to think about my Major Project for the last year of my BA Photography course and it hasn't been easy. I thought about carrying on with my Colourfield work but I feel that I have done all the development I can with that project and it wouldn't be suitable for the [...]
