Art Photography: April 2011
http://photographyselina.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 April 2011. I was in Perth (Australia) for work a few weeks ago and took the opportunity to take some street photographs. I used my point and shoot camera (Canon Powershot S95), a fabulous little camera which allowed me to be fairly subtle and less in-the-face than the big 30D. It was quite challenging taking photos of strangers in their rush hour heading home, but it was fun too, particularly playing with the strong contrasting light. Girl at a bus stop (challenging bright light behind).

Art Photography: March 2011

Monday, 21 March 2011. Womad was on last weekend and as a result I finally got around to shooting my event for Assignment 2, People and Places. Here are a few grabs from the (pleasantly large) pile of good photos I captured. I know I've been in the UK too long. I forgot to take a polariser with me! The greatest festival in the world for fabulous world music, dance, food and fun set in a beautiful environment in Botanic Park, Adelaide. What a great weekend. More photos to come ;).

Art Photography: Portraits
http://photographyselina.blogspot.com/2012/02/portraits.html
Monday, 20 February 2012. Off to the market again with camera and flash. I asked this lady to pose for me and am quite pleased with this natural shot. Some minor post processing with curves, crop and removal of a small background imperfection. I like the narrow DOF which isolates her from the dark background which still has some interest, and she looks smart and fresh despite her age. I may try doing some alternate images (in post-processing) for this one. Posted by Selina Wallace. Neil vN - tangents.

Art Photography: September 2011
http://photographyselina.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 27 September 2011. I discovered last year that the Tate Britain has its entire collection online! That's amazing. ( link here. There is just so much art online now, it means that even people in remote parts of the world (I don't actually think Australia is remote, even though it does feel that way occasionally) can view excellent art. Virtual tours such as the fantastic google art project. Posted by Selina Wallace. Monday, 26 September 2011. Exercise 16: Exploring function. revisted. Firstly, th...

Tuesday, 31 January 2012. Beyond People and Place. I sent off my work for the March assessment yesterday. Pretty exciting to send off another finished subject, two years in the making. I feel like I've come a long way but also realise how far I've got to go. Other projects I'd like to work on this year, time permitting. 8211; this is a project I'd like to do – make more interesting photographs with a variety of crops, and use these in a project such as one for a magazine. Posted by Selina Wallace. I have...

Art Photography: May 2012

Tuesday, 8 May 2012. Formal Assessment - People and Place. Well I received my formal notification of my results for People and Place 1 last night. I was very pleased to see I have passed with a Class 1 again, the same as for The Art of Photography. I didn't think I'd done quite as well as TAOP, so I was pleased that the assessors disagreed with me! I also appreciated the comments, one of which reads " Continuing to develop your personal style and take innovative risks will further strengthen your work.

Friday, 6 May 2011. What does sustainability mean to me? I've been asking myself this question for a while now, and I am going to enter a competition with this same subject (due in a few weeks). I'd love to get peoples opinion on my images and will take any suggestions seriously! I've tried to think about what I do in my. I should have been doing this for ages! I also took the first two shots using my big external flash in a somewhat studio style setup. It has been a fun challenge. Photo 2: Live Local.

Five weeks of the best contemporary circus from around the globe. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Something incredible is happening to classical music in the UK. A whole generation of performers have broken out of ‘traditional’ classical concerts, redefined the rules and shattered boundaries. What defines this new movement? Fragmentation and storytelling within contemporary circus. The significance of this structural trait gains momentum when you notice how dominant the trend towards ...
