IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A OUR LIVES WORTH WHILE

The getting up every morning and seeing your loved ones gather at the breakfast table;

Waving and kissing goodbyes for the day.

Going to the shops for dinners grocery shopping;

Playing with the children on a Sunday afternoon;

Trying on a new pair of shoes for the first time and walking around with for 3o seconds and then kicking them off.

Telling someone you see everyday how much you love them;

Your baby saying their first word or taking their first walking step;

That special moment when someone goes down on one knee;

Waking up every Monday morning and thinking ohh God I hate Mondays;

Going for a picnic with friends and family and sharing all the good moments and memories;Putting on a sexy number for the Friday night out with friends;

There is so much love and things to live for.

Being completely mad at someone for 60 seconds and then be in love with them for the rest of the day

Your dog jumping on your bed every morning and having breakfast brought to your bed.

Watching your children grow and your parent's hair grow grey'

Walking barefoot on the beach sand;

Feeling the sun rays pinch your skin;

When a total stranger smiles at you for no reason;

Receiving 5%discount on your favorite item .

Learning how to say hello in a different language;

Its the little things that make life worth while

Make these memories last forever,choose whats best for your family and your business

"LIFE IS A SPLASH OF COLORS"

M.PHOTOGRAPHY

Doing this shoot was so much much for me.She was a great model to work with .I was hoping to achieve that high commercial fashion photography that we see on pamphlets for clothing stores and I believe that I achieved what I was hoping for.

I have always been passionate about fashion and I am fascinated about the dramatic make up that goes with it.This is one of the images that caught my attention.I feel that the photographer did a great job in lighting these models.John Rankin is one of the photographers that inspire me and I love his work.

Magazine cover

Were asked to design a magazine cover for our digital manipulation and this is the outcome.

Awareness poster

This is an awareness poster .I decided to do one on child abuse because it is a subject that is very close to my heart.I do not understand how people abuse such an innocent being,what makes it even worse is that the statistics are going up instead of going down.

Architecture at dusk

A feeling of being consumed by life

We were asked to portray different feelings and I decided to show someone who is consumed by life.I chose to do it in series because I wanted to show that nothing can really consume you and can't break free from it.

untitled

This was one of those pictures that were not planned for.A friend of mine was just playing around and when I came in I took over the shoot and this was the outcome .I had so much fun doing this.

Advertising

We were asked to do an advert an I did not know what to do ,so I ended up settling for this one.

Jewellery art

This is one of my favorite pictures I've ever done ,it was supposed to be advertising jewellery but it looks totally different.

Proud

As a woman ,going through things in life is part of our daily lives,whether is good or bad.most people go through the most disturbing things ,but life does not have to end there .The show must go on.We all have stains of our past but what counts is focusing on the colorful ones which make us strong and proud of who we are.Our lives are not in the past.The past is called the past because everything has passed .It does not matter where we have been what matters is we are here and living a positive life and she is PROUD of who she is and where she has been.

Insecure

Women are considered to be very fussy about the way they look and they tend to let their insecurities stand in the way.The ideas was to portray a woman who is insecure and her insecurities are tying her down ,it makes her feel disconnected to everything around her and she has low self esteem.

Getting somewhere

Some of the work from my assignment.I am happy about the outcome since I was not too sure what to do with these garments because  they are too simple and very casual . It's something that is a bit out of my league but I am happy.

ENVY
