A touch of red

Over the last few weeks I have been working on a series of portraits and self portraits using the app SlowShutterCam. I really love the effects of slow shutter work with its blur and distortions and not knowing what you might end up with, I find it endlessly fascinating and rewarding. 

Here I've put together the best of the images that incorporate the colour red. It seems to really sing in this sort of work.

Traces of movement and mystery....

Part of a self portrait series I have been working on using the app SlowShutterCam.

What I love most about this app are the unpredictable and atmospheric outcomes it produces particularly when capturing movement. It takes many many attempts but then occasionally delivers an absolute beauty so a lot of patience and perseverance is required. What I like most in these pictures are not just the feeling of movement but the subtle traces of patterns and details in the clothing and the shadowy forms. I'm really interested in developing this series but also in maybe applying it to winter landscapes later in the year.

Ghosts of Winter

'The wet dawn inks are doing their blue dissolve,

On their blotter of fog the trees

Seem a botanical drawing-

Memories growing, ring on ring....'

The Poppy Series

Its been a while since I last posted, this Summer has been really busy and I have been involved in running some big projects with schools as an Artist for Learning. So my attention has been taken away from my picture making for a time but is now refocused once more.

After discovering a whole field of Poppies on a nearby farm close to my house I have been making regular visits while out walking with my camera to record them. The resulting 'Poppy Series' is much more experimental, painterly and freer than my normal 'style' but I have really enjoyed the process.
