Assignment 4 Rework
I was so disappointed with the complete failure that was my first take on A4 that I really wanted to reshoot to create a set of images I was pleased with. Having now looked at the work of Irving Penn…
Assignment 3 Re-Work
Having really been unhappy with my images from Assignment 3 I wanted to revisit it again before submission following my tutors feedback and the nagging thoughts that I hadn’t been able to experiment with some multi image frames. As I…
