Reading week photoshoots

This week we had a break for reading week. Since many of the Navigator staff were away I decided to go out and get some photographs. The plan is to create a galley with about ten pictures in each album. So far the gallery has not been constructed, but a member of staff has been assigned to do it.

My first photoshoot was an urban exploration shoot in Hayle, a town on the north coast of Cornwall. I went down there with Dan Lemos and we both took about 100 pictures so there will certainly be some good ones to use. This shoot was not really planned as such, we planned to take pictures, but we didn’t have a set type of shoot we wanted to do. The result is that these shots are very freestyle.

A second shoot I went on for the navigator this week was to Bodmin Jail. The jail was a location I have wanted to check out for a while, and this shoot gave me the opportunity. There was not really a lot to shoot when we got there in the main jail, its very tourist orientated and didn’t really provide an artistic environment to work in. Outside the jail we found the ‘Naval prison’ which has just been left as it was. This provided a much better environment for photographic work.
