Newcastle.

A little while ago a friend of mine posted a few images on her blog of Newcastle back in the 1980s/1990s. I decided to have a look through the archive a few days ago and was blown away about how much Newcastle has changed and what parts of it i actually remember! I just had to share these images with you!

My newest addition to my ever growing camera collection is a Mini Diana Noir edition Lomography Camera! The camera came with a flash and a pack of coloured filters which i am quite excited to use. There was also a small book with mini diana tasks in it and photographs which was quite cute! I am yet to complete a roll of film using it as i have been bugged down with college work and currently have about 3 film cameras on the go which i need to finish first but i cannot wait to start shooting with this, so watch this space!

Photography Inspiration.

Over the past year through the course i have been doing i have began to grow an interest in more documentary styles of photography. Previously i was all about fashion photography, studio portraits, self portraits all quite constructed and stylized. Having researched into such artists as Nan Goldin and Richard Billingham over the past few years i have began to really admire their fly on the wall insight into their way of life. Both photographers showing worlds of torment with such subjects featured within like alcoholism, drugs and sexuality. I have therefore become more and more drawn towards this "nitty gritty" grimy style of art. 
I recently came across, thanks to a friend at college, the works of a young woman called Sandy Kim and was instantly a fan of her work. Through her photographs you feel as though your are part of her life, one of her friends who spends day in day out with her as she travels on tour with bands, visits new york, has relations with her boyfriend and generally enjoys life. I highly advise you check out her work
