Boomoon – Stopping Time with Nature

Reading about other photographers who run workshops, the general idea I get from them is … Continue reading Workshop Planning
Week 6 – Exhibition Thoughts
Having created an exhibition before of the basic ‘white wall’ type I’m not against trying something radical and different. Thinking of alternatives I’m still planning on using laminar flowing water, putting that into work is another thing as I have to create the perfect flow, also the scale of it is another problem, and creating … Continue reading Week 6 – Exhibition Thoughts
