Walk About

On days when I feel creative I like to walk around in our home, garden, neighbourhood, etc.  and photograph anything that looks interesting. I also love to photograph flowers in our garden especially when there are new ones in bloom.... and this is why I love Flora and Close-Up!

Flora Photography:

Here I taken an image of an Drosanthemum Hispidum flower. This flower is a very small magenta flower. When I changed the colour of the flower to Black & White it gave the flower another meaning, and I'm sure everyone will feel something different about this image.

Close-Up Photography:

When it comes to my second specialist, I like taking images of random objects you see everyday and you don't realize how beautiful it is until you go very close and see all the detail of the object. I took the first image of a green wired garden chair. I like the pattern the wire made and the back lighting against the wall behind the chair. My second image I took at a jewellery shop in Howick. They had a little basket full of shells that they changed into pendants. What really attract me to take this image was the colour of the shells.

General:

We had to do a Chocolate Advertising on location. I think the most challenging thing was to find a 'good looking' chocolate to photograph. After much thought I decided to work with Ferrero Rocher.

We also had to do a Food assignment. We were teamed up with the Food and Nutrition department and did a collaboration.
