30 Minutes in the Life Blog Circle – January 2021 | 10 in 10

Ceri-Herd-Fleet-Photographer-Product-Photography-Eggs

I usually share documentary-style images for this monthly blog circle, but this time I’m giving you something a little different. It’s been an age since I’ve done any photography education, but with some gentle encouragement from a dear friend, this week I signed up to a new course. It’s already proved to be just the change of focus I need and I feel freshly enthusiastic and renewed.

One of the first exercises assigned (and I’d encourage all photographers to try this periodically) was to take a single item and create 10 different images in 10 minutes. Now, I’ll admit, these did take me more than 10 minutes (nearer to 30+10), but that was largely because 5 minutes in I started making my egg a party hat!

Have you ever tried a 10 in 10? I’d love to see you images if you have. And if you haven’t, why not give it a go??!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed seeing a little piece of our world. Up next in the blog circle is the incredible Jenn of Blueberry Hill Images. Please click here to visit Jenn’s blog.

Until next time, stay safe,

Share Six Blog Circle – April 2019 | Orange and Purple

This month the Share Six team is highlighting psoriatic arthritis, using the ribbon colours [orange and purple] as our theme for April.

Purple and orange ribbon made in 3D paper cut and craft style on white background.Psoriatic arthritis is a type of arthritis that develops in some people with the skin condition psoriasis. It typically causes affected joints to become inflamed (swollen), stiff and painful. Like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis is a long-term condition that can get progressively worse. Psoriatic Arthritis causes intense fatigue, can affect the eyes and hearing. Common symptoms are nail dystrophy and mood swings. In addition PSA can also adversely affect the heart, cause obesity, swelling and metabolic syndrome, along with diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease.

The Psoriasis Arthritis Awareness Project have made two films that highlight incredible stories of perseverance and courage. You can watch them here. Read more about living with the condition here.

It seemed fitting to try to create images for this month that reflect the juxtaposition of delicacy and strength. I wanted to show layers of complexity with double exposures, and find a softness that represents fragility.
