In February I started to photograph the sky on a daily basis. I am a day dreamer, so I often look up at the sky, but I was interested to see the hues collected over the year. When it is sunny for a while, we feel like it has been sunny forever. The same goes if it rains (unfortunately not enough here), if it rains for 2 days we feel like it has always been like that. But looking up every day makes me realise how often it changes and how quickly. One of these days I will sit there all day with my camera and take a photo of the constantly changing hues every 5 minutes :)
I am sure you probably all know the amazing photographs by the very talented Mickey Smith, but as I have been doing so much work with books recently, I thought I would like to show her amazing images of her book spines. The first time I saw them, I was absolutely blown away by the simplicity and strength of those images.
The last couple of weeks have been fun and very inspiring. I don't have many design projects on (a worry I try not to let get in my way), so I can dedicate all of my time to my photography. I am exploring ways to make very delicate collages and am rather excited and always try to put them together and play with all the beautiful paper, little titles/words/page numbers. These old pages are really something other, so before I go ahead and finish them I thought I do a trial run with my camera. And then I got carried away...
I usually don't take photos with a digital camera, but I borrowed one from a friend and had lots of fun yesterday. Here are a few images from my old book cover landscapes. I guess this is the beauty of a digital camera, everything is so instant.
I am a part time fine art photographer, art director and dreamer from Melbourne, Australia. I adore colour, light, texture, and type. Photography is my playground: finding the perfect blurry photo, moments of stillness and capturing what is close to my heart.
