The project is called “A strange environment”. It’s a documentary style photography dealing with the everyday reality. The truth is that the background on my images is staged and it gives the notion to search through what you see, not only if its real, but also to awake scenes that maybe some of us experienced in our day lives. To actually record and remake numerous of situations that are so realistic into the fact of questioning the document whether is a real scene documented or a staged environment brought to you to remind you what’s around you.

De-construction of the everyday, from this comes a path through the obstacles and complexities. Using 35mm film allows mobility to work on the urban street. Here I find a beauty that is forever fleeting by, ephemeral, elusive. As indeed is the subject at the core of my work: the ongoing question of the need for continual movement. This work conveys an ever-present restlessness.


The powerful presence of the camera I avoid, working in a style without intervention, recording the exchanges and relationships between others, rather than the reaction others have to photography. With my image capture and presentation techniques the scenes are articulated through the concept of the two opposing extremes: black and white. In addition to the creating of striking and contrast images, the chosen medium allows the intent behind each piece to be emphasised, through shape, form and texture.

This series of work explore the self-portrait, and concentrates on the notion of identity and confidence, and issue of being observed by others. This series concentrates on myself not wanting to be observed. Each image is blurred; this represents the distorted views I have about the way I look. The technique of blurring takes away almost all detail of my face and body, this making it hard for viewers to see me and therefore impossible for them to observe and judge me.

My practice of work mainly focuses on urban landscapes, both new and derelict. I capture the history of the sites through each generation of occupancy as well as the aesthetics of the images.


Other than the documentary photography, I also capture motorsport especially when it involves classic cars and American muscle cars.


My work has been influenced by artists such as Joel Meyerowtiz, John Davies and Brett Killington.

A successful mixture of light, technique, creativity and feeling makes a photo interesting and worth seeing by the observer.


In addition to this I try to let the personal touch of the model flow into it. The best results can only be achieved if all possibilities of both sides are used.


The work presented is an attribute to the male and female figure, free from blame, prejudice and pornography. It is an artwork made for people who love the sensuality of the fine art nude.


The body language is never indifferent. It touches us with very deep feelings: of live, love and passion.


The aim of my photographic practice is not to represent nudity, but for the representation of a successful composition of light, shade, personality.


And this is exactly what motivates me: To always try new things instead of copying what already exists.

In a world so full of conflict and depression it’s easy to get lost in the masses of information, stress and pressure. What do we dream? And why do we dream? I want to get lost in my dreams and revisit whenever possible. They said by now we would have a device to record our dreams, where is it? We have to find new ways to get lost in the fantasy. In context, ‘Sweet Dreams’ is about my dream of peace, the stillness and the wonder of what it could all be if we weren’t so damaged.

Anastasia sees photography as a piece of art .Her interests and inspiration evolve around the genders of fine art and fashion photography. With fine art photography she can express her self, she feels that she can create combining photography other fields of art, and feels pleasure because from one photograph she can create a piece of art.

My work centres on the recording of isolated spaces; these are either personal to me or developed locations devoid of all human activity. By recording the passage of time in a location either using myself as a performer or through found sources of light, I aim to draw the viewer’s attention to the monotony of routine existence as well as the wasteful nature of human development. I am intensely concerned with the details within photographs and the absorptive power with which they can enchant the passing observer, scale plays an important part in the process and I always aim to produce imagery, which reflects this ideology.

In this project I am attempting to represent the feeling of grasping for a fading memory. There is some detail but the bigger picture is just out of reach, and the harder you try, the more unrecognisable it becomes.

My work typically focuses on issues within the urban and rural landscape; and this particular work examines the growing urban phenomenon of gated residential communities in the UK.


By photographing a number of such communities and layering them together, their geometries take on an appearance which is arguably more akin to one of incarceration than habitation, and by employing this aesthetic approach within much of my work, the initial recognition of the subject matter is delayed, ultimately inviting closer examination and contemplation of it as a result.

Photography is a means by which to edit the world.


Were your life to be recorded in a story book, what aspects would make the final cut?


Aim for great structure and beautiful form.


The edges of an image are not its end but its point of beginning.

My Photography ‘happens’ by observing and questioning. I combine my personal experience of humanity with the finding and theories of others to produce a ‘performance’ through the medium of photography.


My final degree project ‘Peeping Tom’ is a film and photographic installation which is referencing notions of voyeurism and narcisism. I am both the photographer and the subject.

These images have been taken from a project ‘Untitled fragments’ undertaken to query day-to-day experience. The theme of this series is concentrating on everyday objects and how people accommodate themselves to everyday conditions using those objects in a very personal way. Photographer reflects on different ways people personalise their surroundings, to make themselves unique and special.


Potentially banal and trivial scenes are brought in by Justyna Ptak, who presents vital part of our existence, which is easily passed over. Every item completes the frame like the owner’s signature – under the cover of prevalence; it reveals hidden uniqueness and individualism. Every photograph is a fragment of someone’s private space, just as everyday is a fragment of everybody’s life.

As a documentary photographer Andrew Scarle has begun working on new mediums in which to showcase his practice. The Internet is a tool that allows instant access to information on an infinite basis. Andrew has created photography-based websites that allow the audience to interact with his work.


The pinnacle has been his award winning website The Class Of 2004. Here Andrew set about finding the members of his high school class. Communications and images were acquired through social networks and then placed within a newly devised social network. The work becomes a modern anthropological and social study of a certain generation.


The website picked up the prize for Best Documentary and Best Overall at this years annual Lighthouse Student Awards.

This project is a study of woman's body and its perfection. This triptic refers to ancient Greek's sculptures and fascination about human body and ideal proportions. Instead of ancient belief that male's body is much more appreciated than woman's, this project explores contemporary opinion about body excelence associated with feminity.

project produce abandoned and derelict places and cars, showing to the viewer the existence of another world that of the past days and times that still comes very alive in today's reality but in a state of a conversion over the years. Different places that were either burned or left behind for many years by people evolve the artist's inspiration and interests. This project is based on a combination of photography and Fine Art. Marino's work wants to provide to the viewers a sense of memory, place and trace.


However, according to the artist believes "what you see or read in newspapers or media is much more different from the reality and how you experience a place when you live there or be there for a moment"
