Light and shadow photography:-)

Over the past few months, I have developed an interest in photography. At the moment-in my course at school- we have been improving our knowledge of light and shadow photography. Here is a few pictures I found of the photographers 'Richard Vantielcke' light and shadow photography. 

I like this as the shadow of the clock hand creatives a creative effect on the photo's light. 

I like the mysterious vibe you get from this photo. It isn't as much as a shadow but the light seems to create an anonymous silhouette to develop a sense of mystery. 

This is a very inventive creation. The shadow is sitting on what appears to be a chair. You can see the actual object and then the shadow sitting down when in reality, it is a chair and someone sitting down further away from the chair.

My camera：）

As you may know from my past blogs, I am ambitious to be a photographer. I am taking a course in my last year at school to learn and experience more in the photography era. Tonight I came across an app and decided to play around... 

This blog is about how to capture a good photo and then you can maybe use it in your own blog or anywhere else:-) 

A good picture mostly depends on the angle of the subject and wether it is going to be in landscape or portait view. 

Landscape-

Portrait-

For example- a good photo could be taken at a straight aim. Point the camera directly towards the subject and you have your picture. If you want to experiment, you may even rather tilt the camera at a slight angle or move round to another side of the subject. This creates a creative image and shows imagination. 

Another area of good photography depends on the 9x9 grid. Put the subject at rather one side or the other of the grid in your camera (or if you're feeling creative, try put it in one of the four corners) and snap the image. For example- this is a silhouette I took of a ballerina ornament in my room. 

In advance, if you want to improve the image by adding something you could go on photoshop and maybe add a butterfly or a new background (I use photoshop cs5 from the MacBook Pro). 

Thankyou for reading my blog and good luck in your foreseeable future in photography:-) hope you enjoyed x.

My dream bedroom🙆

This bedroom has me written all over it. It's so classy, comfortable and has an indie era about it. I like the minimalistic, adolescent style and the way it already feels like home. 

August favourites🌝🌻.

As a teenager, cute indie outfits are my thing. I like to be comfortable and confident in what I wear and as long as I feel that way, I don't mind what others think. I've decided that even in summer, baggy jumpers still look amazing with a cute skirt to tuck it in with. So I searched up some images and found this which I think is totally perfect for my kind of outgoing outfits. 

I like how the dark colours contrast against the background and how it's attractive but not too revealing. If you don't like showing too much skin then this outfit is perfect for you. I also have some august moisturisers that I've recently become absolutely obsessed with such as 'The Garden Collection' from Boots and 'Soap and Glory' which is also from Boots. 

When you wear a skirt, you're missing one thing. The only shoe wear I really like wearing with a skirt is rather cute sneakers/trainers or wedges. This is why these shoes are perfect with the frilly socks and the cute dotted tights. It shows a classy yet vintage adolescent style and is something I would definitely wear for Summer.

My idols🙊🌸.

Seen as I prefer vintage style and I am mentally born in the sixties, I chose these two to be my beautiful inspirations. Lana Del Rey- also known as Elizabeth Grant- makes songs which can refer to my situations and how I'm feeling. Marilyn Monroe was known for her beautiful body. She reminds me that you don't need to be skinny to be beautiful. Hence my two inspiring celebs💕. 

About me💕

My name is Ellie-May Stanyon and I am a 16 year old grade 4 dancer in all areas. My interests are dance, photography, drawing and swimming. I am a British, West Yorkshire girl and I have dreams of becoming a Californian photographer. As all people may, I have a top ten list of things I want to do before I die which vary from a numerical value between 1 and 10.

1. Go on a European road trip
2. Watch the sun rise and sun fall
3. Go on a holiday with friends abroad
4. Make a time capsule
5. Go horse riding
6. Watch an outside movie in a car park
7. Make a comfy bed in the back of a truck and just drive. 
8. Watch the stars in an empty field
9. Get married and have children
10. Meet Lana del Rey (my idol) 

My favourite authors would have to be E L James, John Green and Paige Toon. I take an interest in vintage furnishings and would much rather live in the sixties rather than now (I wish I could have met Marilyn Monroe😔). I have a hippie side to me all which fit my look as you can see on most of my pictures and I also have a dark side where I would rather dress in dark/gray clothing. My vintage side is my personality and I also have a thing with pastel colours, minimalists designs and floral antiques.

This picture is me and my boyfriend and really captures my personality in an instant.
