Work based learning!

For work Based learning things have changed a lot over the past year.
For example over the summer i have a bit of a career change, from family studio portraiture which I still have a slight interest in and would like to experience to joining the Royal Air Force as a photographer.

I came to this decision by looking into the job role itself and from what i found out it would give a chance to travel and still have a stable job (which was an important aspect).
I went down to my local RAF careers base so i could ask any questions that the website didn't really answer for me. I found this very helpful and backed up my decision.

But for work based learning i will have to do some work experience of a length of 10 days. For this i was hoping to do some experience work with the RAF itself but it turns out because of health and safety reasons they do not offer work experience opportunities. Last year i had spoken to a local family portrait studio about working with them for a period of time so i plan to get back in contact with them and work something out.

Monster lurk everywhere!

I was lucky enough to be able to join the Monsters lecture series. I chose this series as its something i've always been interested in.
So in the first session we looked at "Don't be afraid of the dark" trailer so we could understand and pick out the elements that would be something scary and work on the emotion of fear.

We also looked at "Edward scissor hands" to see how fear can be used in a different way. 

so the we were set on the job of finding something to do with Red riding hood which would relate to our subject so this is the image i chose with the subject of red riding hood.

I Chose this because the model seems to have both aspects of the big bad wolf and the younge red riding hood. It takes a different stance on the dark story line and makes it feel quite light and dreamy.

This image interested me as a do have a interest in beauty and fashion so i thought it fitted well.
