Just another little blog entry to show some of my current work!
Last week, I done some freelance work for the tribute band ‘Absolute Bowie’. It involved taking promotional-type shots of the front man dressed as Ziggy and other eras of Bowie. The shoot lasted most of the day as it involved many costume and make-up changes. It was a great shoot which I really enjoyed. Here are a few of the shots I took:
Yesterday I was booked for a few more freelance jobs for another band. They are both shoots for promotional images (one on-location and one studio). Those shoots are coming up in the next few weeks!
Uni Stuff:
At the beginning of April, I travelled up to Manchester to see Don McCullin’s ‘Shaped by War’ photography Exhibition at the Imperial War Museum North. It was a very long day because of the driving but I survived! I am doing my dissertation on McCullin’s Vietnam War images and his work for the Sunday Times Magazine so the exhibition was a huge part of the research I needed to do. So far I have done about 5000 words so I am well on my way to getting the 8000-word first draft done n’ dusted. I have also been spending quite a bit of time at the Newspaper Library in Colindale sifting through 1960s copies of the Sunday Times Magazine for research so I’ve got plenty to work with now. I’m hoping to get the first draft finished by the first week of May. I have also managed to get in contact with Sir Harold Evans who was the Editor of the Sunday Times in the 1960s when Don McCullin worked for the paper so I will be interviewing him as part of my research too!
I am also making good progress with my final project. I will do a blog post about it sometime next week.
See ya soon,
CD.
