Hot off the press

I'm taking the liberty, of presuming all you lovely people remember that I took some photographs, of some vintage china...

Well to jog your memories, I thought I'd share with you the great news of them being used for an advert in the GOOD OLD FASHIONED PAPER. (Chew Valley Gazette)! 

So if you're in need for some vintage china then get in touch with Harriet or Dinah via Facebook or their Website.

Or if you're in need for some photographs, please don't hesitate to contact me, my details are in the contact page at the top.

Dinah's China

If your looking for a Mad Hatters Tea Party, look no further.

Found in a charming little village, Nempnett Thrubwell, in the depths of Chew Valley (North Bristol). I ventured out to take some photographs of Dinah's delightful china. 

Dinah rents out this beautiful collection of china for weddings, tea party's or any other event that requires this wide range of delicate tea sets. Dinah originally collected her china for her daughters wedding and has since lent it to many satisfied customers! With her website in need of some new photographs (that's where I stepped in) it meant that I got the exciting opportunity to play with, set up and photograph these lovely tea cups!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. And if you ever fancy a more colourful cup of tea then don't hesitate to contact Dinah HERE and keep a look out for my photographs, as they will be featuring on her website soon!

Whisk! // Food Photography

Feast your eyes upon these delicious, seasonal goodies. If you aren't peckish now, you certainly will be after...

And why not splash out on a little (or big fat chunk) of flapjack.

Whisk's mission is to celebrate the pleasure of eating, encourage people to cook confidently and consider the impact of how we eat. -- All ingredients are locally sourced from organic and fairly traded suppliers.

If you fancy a bite of this yourself then why not pop down to one of their cafes. Either in The Atrium Cafe at the lovely setting of Arnos Vale Cemetery (BS4 3EW.) Or the Cafe at Knowle West Health Park (BS4 1WH.)

Alternatively visit their website for more info here!

Have a scrumptious evening. Emily x

Guest Houses in Southampton No.7

After a lovely couple of weeks in sunny cornwall and the joys of camping, in 'comfy' tents in somerset. I am back in the waiting room/job search. However something awaits I am sure. 

So I present you with a little reminder of what used to be, before the days of post studying. When I was free to roam with my medium format camera... May the sunlight in this image captivate you, as it did me, enjoy.

Love Emily x

Guest Houses in Southampton No.5

Some more scanned in negatives from my guest house project; looking at the banal of the everyday in transitional places.

Guest Houses in Southampton No.4

Hotel rooms, doctors surgeries, airport lounges are just a handful of spaces that we consider insignificant or unfamiliar. But an ever increasing proportion of our time is being spent in these curious spaces...

So what do you think, are they 'non-places'or 'places'?

A Place I once Found - East Side Of Berlin -

Last night I arrived back into Southampton, my final term of university awaiting me. So naturally the journey was pretty nostalgic. I thought on this Monday afternoon, I would provide you with a place I once found, tucked away in the East side of Berlin.I hope you like it.

P.s I am aware the first image is out of focus! But I think it worked well and if not better for this post...

Home Time

Some might say I'm not the most organised, so it's inevitable I forget something when I travel to and from Southampton and Bristol, during holidays. Here's some of the essentials I always carry with me.

I don't usually work in this meticulous manner as a photographer, so you have my apologies if it's not quite lined up!

One of the most valuable things I've learnt in my last three years of studying photography is, bear with me as this may seem a little too simple for you wise owls. It's that you have to always carry on shooting. Even if you don't know what your taking photographs of, or if it's not relevant to your 'project'. As a photography student it can be easy to think too much about what your taking photographs of and so sometimes it's good to just get back to the basics. Enjoy being on Easter break and shoot what the heck you want. So I found these flowers and as it's spring; everyone loves a bit of still life?! If anything you'll start thinking creatively again and forget about the fact you can't think of what to take photographs of... 


HOPEFULLY. So I dared to take my Nikon out his bag and took these:

The flowers are typically not at their best but the colours and shapes seemed more alive than ever. Forgive me for the simplicity of this post but if nothing else I've shared some pretty photos and I don't regret doing a photo shoot just for the fun of it!
