About a month back, I was asked by Mac Makeup artist Mev Apple to photograph some models for her portfolio. Organising this was a long process, with location, models etc. We shot the photos upstairs in Firebug in Leicester and made a mini set from a sofa and some cheap wallpaper. Cheers to Ailise for helping me out for the day
During this section of the course, I've really begun to read and research photographers whose images have inspired me. I came across the work of Rut Blees Luxemburg in the inspirational first chapter of Charlotte Cotton's book and spent some time researching further. Cotton says of Luxemburg's work:
[...]when the urban night scene is illuminated in a dramatic way, the surreal and psychologically charged potential of space is emphasised. But each epoch has its own artistic concerns and particular narrative conclusions. With their uncanny qualities, Luxemburg's pictures take something of the history of night time photography, but imbues it with the contemporary and personal experience of the city.
This led me to begin researching this 'history' and I was drawn to the work of several other artists who have informed some of the pictures that I've submitted here. The picture that I've chosen for 'diagonals' references Luxemburg's work, but I hope is subtly different. She uses a 5x4 camera and long exposures, ensuring that everything in the frame is in focus. I love her work but find the images a little 'clean'. I wanted a narrow depth of field that would keep the reflected sign in focus, but loose some definition in the puddle and road surface. I shot hand held with a fixed lens Fuji, metering for the brightest part but exposing -2 stops darker to make the feel more claustrophobic.
Compositionally, the eye is first drawn to the bright letters of the reflection, but the strong diagonal leads our eye across the rest of the image. As discussed during the exercise on diagonals, they tend to be straight lines that are diagonal due to perspective.
These night time reflections are also explored in the wonderful ‘Retail’ by Tim Davis. Fantastically crafted night time shots of urban America with corporate, neon signs reflected in the windows of houses.

Saw a colony of 96 of these beautiful Firebugs at the edge of the pavement beside the main road at Rye Harbour. Remarkable bugs, very striking, very handsome indeed! Additional pictures below - best viewed larger with a click!

So i got the call, Theres a fire near home, come get us out, My Dad is a volunteer firey, It's 46 degrees outside, i drive up to rescue my mum and get questioned by the local police for taking a photo, apparently i could have been a firebug suspect for taking a photo of my handywork, i totally understand and commend the police for questioning me..kudos...Family out and safe. Hopefully the old fella is fine, i cant contact him at all .....
Fire is less than 1km from their home.
This is as close as i can get without having to deal with road blocks.
I made the basic 3d in Open Blocks, the new open source version of the Blocks VR 3d modeling application Blocks from Google, then used Nevercenter Silo and Milo for basic lighting and camera, then Vizcom for the render, finished in Photoshop.

Und ich dachte immer, das sind "Feuerkäfer"... Nein, "Feuerwanzen" heißen sie - ich danke Wikipedia für die Aufklärung...
El primer insecto que he podido sacar este año. Y es que, entre que no para de llover un solo día, y el frío, se ha juntado el que casi no he tenido días para salir a hacer fotos, y que los insectos brillan por su ausencia.

I captured only the trunk but the whole tree was almost red. Only one tree among so many other!?! I see such a thing for the first time!
Fireflies! Light painting with fireflies!
"Now, motionless and dark, eluded search Self-shrouded: and anon, starring the sky, Rose like a shower of fire." ~ Robert Southey
"Laserbug Shaman calling." Multiple long exposures and self portrait. Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada.
I stood in the swamp for almost an hour taking 95 long exposures of the fireflies in this scene followed by a self portrait in electroluminescent wire and stacked all those photos together in post processing to make this image. Other than stacking the exposures no digital manipulation was used.
Worth every minute of swampfoot!
Thanks so much for looking!
