Critique

Hello!

Tomorrow is my first critique (crit) for third year and just to keep you all updated I wanted to post two of my images up that I will be handing in.

First up is my first specialist Advertising still life, I shot a bottle of Chivas Regal 18 year old.
(Little secret- the bottle is filled with tea!)




My next image is Urban Decay which is a run down building. I took the image in Durban next to Addington Hospital, it used to be the old children's hospital.



Here are two other images of different aspects of the run down building.



One of the toilets.                                     Some pipes just left to decay.

I hope you enjoyed the pics, hold thumbs that crit goes well...
Ps: What do you think of my new logo??

Appologies

Wow! It has been a while and as I look I see it has been almost a year since my last post I really must apologize for not being too interested in my blog and well... neglecting it!
This year I promise to keep everyone updated with my studies and experiences because this will be my year to shine and networking will be a way for great business.

I do want to inform you that I am still studying and my blog is also a way our lecturers will give us assignments so if you notice something weird and has nothing much to do with what i usually post, it may be an assignment we have been given via our blogs, but also feel free to communicate and ask what is going on...

This year I am in third year and I get to work on two specialists of my choice. I have chosen advertising still life and fashion lingerie/ swimwear and these will be my main assignments, although there will also be other assignments.

For our first critique on the first of March I have to shoot one of each of my specialists and a picture of Urban Decay.
Urban Decay a building or area that has been run down or that is decaying.

So hope everyone is now in the loop will be blogging again soon.
Here is one of my favourite images from last year just to prove I'm still a photographer :)
