The above photography image was formed using a manual SLR camera and produced through the means of traditional method/techniques of developing in the dark room during the exploratory stage in photography.

Above are the resulting photographs from my Fine Art exploratory stage using a SLR camera. The focus of the project was the idea of the difference between real world & the other world. None of the photographs have been edited in any way or form and are displayed just how they were captured.

Here's an image I made on Thursday. I created by taking a photo of a set that was in the style of a jungle and then layering it up and turning it into a collage. I then painted over the top.
