Since studying at the University of Sheffield, my artistic interests have been waiting on the shelf for me to rekindle. When you're thrown into a new environment, it can be difficult to continue with your interests when they're not at the forefront of your studies.
In order to rekindle the fire... I decided to join Univerisity of Sheffield PhotoSOC. A society that works with students to channel shared interests of photography and art as a way of creating a platform for people like me to showcase our projects.
For the first week, I attended a lecture with the focus on 'flash photography'. During the lecture, we explored how light can be manipulated just as much as the subject you are photographing. In order to have full control over the lighting and manipulation, we used artificial lighting and kept the lecture theatre dark throughout. The results were drastically different from one student to the next - with some creating strobes of light, others illuminating the subject itself (in this case we nominated a few members of the society to be our subject), and in my case - the light was layered in both the foreground and background of my images.
