During the last few weeks of my 365 Project, I spent a lot of time thinking about the future. The big scary question, what is next? I went into super duper planning mode and created… an excel sheet… just for ideas! Now that I feel like I’ve had some time to breathe and take in the whole 365 project… it is [...]

Important note: See the caption on the bottom right of every photograph for the date the photograph was taken. This is one of my favourite fields – I began photographing it during my 365 Project, and continued to photograph it after I completed my 365 Project. When I got into photography the one thing I really [...]

All of my self-portraits taken during the summer months. I really tried to do as many as possible, because I knew the colder the weather got, the less I would enjoy self-portraits. Particularly as the weather gets colder, the light gets flat and summer is just such a great time for photography! That is if [...]

I don’t quite know why I called this “feeling floaty” – when I took these self-portraits for my 365 project, I couldn’t think of a title. The only thing that came to mind was “floaty” because that’s how my top feels. So, the titled turned out to be Feeling Floaty – which I’ve stuck with [...]

For my 365 project, I spent a lot of time working on my self-portraits. This series was for day 300 which was great fun to do!  

This self-portrait series was one of the most tricky series. Getting the natural elements to work in my favour was a challenge – along with the composition, it was difficult, but great to have accomplished my goal!

This is one of my favourite tree lines – I began photographing it during my 365 Project, and continued to photograph it after I completed my 365 Project.

I knew it was possible to find poppies in the autumn, and sometimes in the winter… but I had yet to see them, until one day I was driving and I past a field which was bright red! All you have to do is imagine a SUPER excited child who has had a lot of [...]

Although I absolutely adore summer and the warmth it has (if we have a good summer in the UK that is…) I have a soft spot for the autumn months. It is particularly amazing to see the change in the countryside. The dramatic shift of colours and the chilly air can create some incredible sights [...]

For the third time this year I am in North Cornwall, Trebetherick. It looks like it’s going to be a funny sort of week as the weather is absolutely crazy with wind and rain like I’ve never seen before. I will upload this page with photographs – to keep your eyes pealed! I hope you enjoy these [...]

For the second time this year I went to North Cornwall, in particular Trebetherick, Rock and Port Gaverne. We had a very odd week, weather wise which was a challenge. The rain and wind were so strong at times I wasn’t sure I was stable enough on the cliff edges! It was incredible! But I [...]

Day 301 to 365 I have created 4 galleries to display my 365 project. Due to the vast amount of photographs they have been split into 4 pages – this is the last page and the last stage of my 365 project, the final days… day 301 to 365.   Why 365 Project? I’ve been wanting [...]

Day 201 to 300 I have created 4 galleries to display my 365 project. Due to the vast amount of photographs in this 365 Project, the photographs have been split into 4 pages – this is the 3rd page – Day 201 to 300.   Why 365 Project? I’ve been wanting to do a 365 Project for a [...]

Day 101 to 200 I have created 4 galleries to display my 365 project. Due to the vast amount of photographs in this 365 Project, the photographs have been split into 4 pages – this is the 2nd page – Day 101 to 200.   Why 365 Project? I’ve been wanting to do a 365 Project for [...]

Day 1 to 100 I have created 4 galleries to display my 365 project. Due to the vast amount of photographs in this 365 Project, the photographs have been split into 4 pages – this is the 1st page – Day 1 to 100.   Why 365 Project? I’ve been wanting to do a 365 Project for a [...]

  I am lucky enough to live in the country where the landscape is forever changing with the seasons and the farming. Although I wouldn’t title myself a “landscape photographer”, I absolutely love to photograph landscape, especially the landscape I see every day and near my home. Photography has given me a new pair of [...]

When I began to take photography seriously and really improve my photographic skills I spent a lot of time doing portrait photography. I have been incredibly lucky as I have had 2 willing sisters who have let me practice on them countless times. I have photographed them both thousands of times which has helped me [...]

With my love for photography I have also combined my love of animals. I love the challenge of getting that tricky photograph of an animal, may it be a horse, dog, cat etc. Not only do I love the challenge of the tricky shot, I love photographing an animals unique personality, the bond between animal and [...]

I love photographing people and I love portrait photography. But what I also love is, photographing “body parts”. Sometimes by zooming in on a certain part of the body can evoke a feeling that a full-body photograph can’t. Our hands, feet experience a huge amount of life. We walk with our feet, and we work [...]

One of the types of photography I adore is nature photography.  I love the seasons of “Nature”. It wasn’t until I saw “nature” through my camera that I realised how absolutely gorgeous it is. Here I have uploaded some of my Nature Photography to share with you. Nature Photography by Olivia Bell – The Processing [...]
