Advanced Lighting Workshop

After the success of last years lighting workshop run by former university student Philip Trengove. He came back to run a more in-depth and technical workshop. After being out of the studio for so long it was great to get back in working with models, makeup artists and fellow photographers. The model Amy Jane was extremely patient and did not mind being poked and prodded whilst being moving into different positions. Photographer Philip Trengove was always on had to help with and quires that we were having and to give advise.

Barcelona 2013

http://vimeo.com/63937407

April 2013 a small group of us visited sunny barcelona for a few days (to get away from the stressful student life). Where as the majority of my friends took 35mm film cameras, I decided only to take my GoPro Hero 3 Black edition. This would be the first time of using the camera for a genuine purpose rather that wondering my house. This short film sums up our trip, sun, fun and being general tourists.

Art 8 Exhibition Newquay, Cornwall

Spreading the Word

This is one of many posters around the Heartlands site, giving some direction of where to view the exhibition.

'Silence' Timelapse

This is a short timelapse of the exhibition (before the battery was drained of all of its power). It shows people arriving and me trying to meet and great everyone.

'Silence' Private Viewing Photos

These are a selection of many photographs taken by the people at the viewing. The whole opening night was a huge success, with a great turn out from friends, family, lecturers from university and general people who had a interest in my work. As this was my first time organising my own solo exhibition, I was extremely happy to see everybody enjoying them selfs, and to see people support me and my work.

'Silence' Private Viewing Video

Monday 11th March 2013, 1 hour before people started to arrive to the viewing, I took a short walk around video of the exhibition.

'Silence'

Silence is an exhibition consisting of contemporary photographs that explore Cornwall's beaches by night, it will be taking place at Heartlands, Cornwall from the 11th - 24th March 2013. Cornish photographer Joe Wilde has never been more than a few minuets away from the beach, therefore he has grown up loving and respecting all aspects of our coastline. The exhibition looks at the more tranquil and silent aspect of our beaches, that is normally lost when people flock to our shores. Taking the photographs atnight enhances your seances, most of all your hearing and smell. When all you can see is darkness, you rely on torches to navigate through giant rocks, gaining a new found respect for nature and the effects the sea can have.

West Briton Publication

On Boxing day 2012 a group of brave, daring and willing people from the Miners Arms Pub, Redruth, including Kevin Stevens (the landlord and organiser) took the plunge into the freezing water at Portreath. The charity dip took place along side the annual Portreath Boxing Day Dip, organised by SurfLifeSavingGB. The Miners Arms are still ongoing, to reach the £1000 mark for Click at Treliske hospital, which is a charity close to everyone's hearts. This is my image of a group of people taking the plunge on boxing day at Portreath for the charity CLICK. It was published in the West Briton (3rd January 2013)

Transmission

My book pages laid out in the university corridor.

Transmission is a book that looks at the way that we communicate across Cornwall to other places across the world. By photographing transmission masts and National Grid towers, we can then evaluate what effect it has on our landscape. Cornwall’s landscape was one dominated with working engine houses, now dormant they compete with wires and metal structures towering over local towns and villages. The images document the evolution of telecommunications from Marconi’s hub in Porthcurno which was Cornwall’s first transmission center, to Goonhilly Earth Station in Helston which sent information all around the world.

Underwater Photogram

A piece of experimental darkroom work. I projected a negative onto the paper and then placed it into a water tank this gives the edges of the plants a different effect, I then placed different leafs and ferns onto the paper to create a photogram, this created a negative. Then I made a positive of this image.
