I do not like how little I have been able to find time to journal on here,which is a nuisance, but I am here now!
The only reason I have really found time is that I am too ill to work right now. I have had an M.E relapse due to anxiety/stress and back problems. Luckily, I had my first physiotherapy session today, in nearly 3 years, and it has done me the world of good already! I hope to be back on the mend soon as I am feeling majorly unproductive! I have a large number of shoots planned,though, and although I suck at drawing, I am enjoying sketching my ideas and compiling miniature moodboards in a notebook. I have found my best shoots are those which I have sketched/written down in advance!
I quickly want to show you a recent selection of my work that got published in the summer issue of Moxee magazine! I am so pleased with how they have been presented, Moxee is definately an inspiring magazine and an honour to be a part of!
I hope you like them! These are just a couple of printscreens you can view my photos at my website emilyjanephoto.co.uk
I am suffering from a bit of artists' block too,consequently. My style has changed, but I like my old style, but i love my new style too. It's hard trying to fuse the two together. My tutor says I just need to remember the emotion I acheived in one set of photos that blew my Uni tutors' socks off. Since then, I think I tried too hard and so have lost some of that emotion in my portraits of other people. The irony is that the photos they loved so much in the first term, I just kept it simple and easy, and allowed it to flow naturally (I also did sketch the ideas!). I suffer from one heck of a dose of anxiety,mostly since February as the work has been non-stop for me up until crashing and burning out the last 3 weeks. Maybe this is why the emotive atmoshpere in my photos isn't quite so present, because I am feeling a little uptight? I guess I just need to loosen up, and it will all fall into place. I have so many fears of failure, I think I just somehow need to try and stop worrying!
Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist, and I am actually quite scared, as it is a completely new dental practise I am going to. My old dentist was the only person to work on my teeth in my life, but he went private, and I just could no longer afford to pay extortionate amounts of money for him to put white filling in my teeth that perishes two years later. So NHS dentist it is. Now, at this dentist surgery, one of the practitioners there almost shattered my sister-in-law's jaw a few months ago, so please understand that this is why I am so apprehensive :P
Anyhow, I am going to eat, put LOTR on,(because I haven't the balls to watch The Painted Veil seeing as people die of illness in it, and I'm not in the mood to feel too meloncholy watching Walter Fane stare daggers at Kitty Fane for a good hour before (SPOILER) dying and making me sad. Do not ask me why, but watching Elves die in LOTR Two Towers seems much more easy-viewing), and then I am going to either sew,write letters to my penpals or sketch my ideas and stick referecnce photos in my scrapbook!
