After finally deciding that I did want to do a Photography degree I had to make the decision to retake some of my A-levels. This was to improve my grade to ensure a better opportunity to get into university. Although I am not technically a student and I do not officially attend college I have coursework to do and an exam to sit next month. Today I found out that my coursework deadline is a lot shorter than I previously was aware of. Having found this out I have spent the day trying to get as much work as I can possibly get done. During this it meant I had to teach myself a new assignment and experiment with this. This was 'Digital Photograms'. The above image is the final piece from today's experiments. For my first attempt I am quite happy with it. Obviously there is MAJOR room for improvement and still a lot to learn with this. I chose to use lemons for my image as I have been wanting to use them as a stimulus for while. Whilst chopping lemons at work to serve in customers drinks at work I have imagined various ways of capturing lemons as I find them delicate and quite beautiful. Therefore, I took this as a great opportunity for them to appear within my work. Also very grateful that this photograph appeared in Explore. (8.05.2015)

During my very first digital photography class (ok, it was my only digital photography class) at art school, I learned about a camera-less photography technique which produces an image called a Photogram. Artists like Man Ray and Pablo Picasso experimented with the technique, which is traditionally made by placing objects on photographic paper and then ... Read more
