Design Rejuvenation
I’m looking for work in London (I’m thinking of basing myself there a bit more full time again, until I sort other things out, but NYC is still calling for me full-time) and although I’m a photographer, a part of me is also drawn to doing a bit of graphic design & illustration (initially what I planned to do for a career & a degree, before I took my photography degree and realised how important it was to me). So as I begin my London job-hunt, I’m also expanding from just photography to design, illustration and art/creative directing. Therefore, it’s time to expand my portfolio. I’m going to aim to have two complete & solid portfolios, of course one is my photography portfolio The other a creative-arts& design folio. If you know of anyone in London looking for a full time artist, please let me know.
Daily Moses
Here’s your daily dose of Moses. Mosey. Mosey Mo. Just chilling out on top of the ironing board, a favourite spot of his when he manages to get away with it.
I’m Still Here!
Don’t you just love the light during the summer, especially in Paris?
Sorry I haven’t been able to update very much this summer at all. I haven’t been too well. I promise though, I am trying to get on top of things and upload my photos from Paris. I’ve also got a very fun project starting this month that I’ll reveal more of in due course.
Over the past year I’ve had a couple of offers from people to re-design my blog (in exchange for advertising space or just as a portfolio builder/reference) and I refused at the time. Well, I’m pretty fed up with how my blog looks and as impertinent as I feel asking this, if anyone still wants to do a re-design for me (I use wordpress/CSS), then feel free to get in touch. I think a re-design would really get me into consistent posting mode.
Paris, Je T’aime!
The first of many photos I took during my time in Paris. I had the time of my life, in Dublin, London and Paris with my best friend, Claire (whose wonderful blog can be found at French For Cupcake). We went to see our favourite, Tori Amos (three times in each city) and met her twice. We did all the touristy things in Paris and a real highlight was staying with someone who works high up in Louis Vuitton, so her apartment was truly amazing – like something from an interior magazine or a movie – and she very kindly made it our home for the week. We had a great time. Also a big thank you to my wonderful friend Grania (Crumbs For Dinner – her wonderful blog) for having us too.
Like I said, I have many, many more photos to share over the next few days (provided I’m well enough). So keep looking!
Tumblr: What Sarah Likes
Just a little reminder that I have a Tumblr. It’s located at: http://sarahvictoriakane.tumblr.com.
It’s a little extension of my blog, a haven to share the things that inspire me, the things that make me tick and generally all the things that I find online and want to pass on, share and make a fuss over. It’s everything from photography to fashion, fine art to movie stills, magazine layouts to interior design and all in-between. Us creative folk, we like to share our inspirations as much as we like to create and share our own work, sometimes even more so I think.
Please feel free to visit it, bookmark it, add it, Google-Reader-It, look at it, etc.
The Twelfth
I went out to photograph The Twelfth marches in Ballygowan. Over the past few years I’ve missed out on photographing it as I’ve been in the USA or London, but as I am currently in Belfast, I was able to go out and shoot. I wasn’t feeling the best, so I didn’t shoot as much as I had hoped I would (or with as much enthusiasm). It’s funny, I used to be so immersed in the whole old-school photojournalism, but then I let it slide and now I feel so out of practice. So, here’s a selection of some of what I shot, all in colour with my brand new DSLR (which I bought as a back-up and a play thing and yet I’m astounded by the quality).
Tomorrow I head off to Dublin, then London on Saturday and finally I’m off to the ‘City of Lights’, Paris, on Monday.
Wedding Photos
I’m sorry it’s been all quiet around here – I’ve been very busy in the world of taking photographs and it hasn’t left me much time to think about blogging. That’s about to change for the rest of the summer, so I’m sure I’ll be plenty inspired and back to sharing my life on the internet.
A lot of people have asked if I would share some of my wedding photography. Usually I wouldn’t, but for the first time I actually got permission from a really nice couple I photographed recently to go ahead and put the photos online. It was a beautiful ceremony that certainly boasted my portfolio and was a great experience. Understandably, my commercial and wedding photographs are very different than my usual style of art and documentary photography, but it’s always a learning curve with any kind of photography and adjustments must be made. So, here’s a hint of some of what I took, a very small selection.
Note: Please do not use these photos elsewhere without my permission. Obviously all my images are copyrighted, but as these are private images I have to ask nobody uses them. Thanks!
Laura + Courtney. Wedding.
I don’t usually post wedding or portrait images online. However, I promised a lot of people at this wedding that I would put some shots online. Unfortunately I have a pretty heavy workload of images to get through editing right now (a LOT – hence the lack of blogging), so I’m only putting up this little sneak-peak of the proofs. I will hopefully put up some more soon as it was such a beautiful wedding to shoot – and a lot of fun.
If you’re having a wedding in Belfast, London, Tampa, New York, anywhere around the UK or Internationally and you’re looking for a wedding photographer, get in touch.
