Welcome to my Photography Portfolio. I’m currently doing a 366 day project rather than post everyday, which you can see on my Flickr and Instagram. I’ll be sharing my fav photo of the week and also keeping you upto date with my Tree, Autumn and Reflection Projects. I hope you stick around and enjoy my photos.
A Photo a Week: Dusk
I took these last Friday. I had been wanting to capture the full moon at dusk for a while though I think the crescent moon is far more mesmerising . There’s something pretty spectacular about brightly lit objects at dusk .
The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”

Seawinds, Arthur’s Seat. Up in the clouds
I’d been watching the peak of Arthur’s Seat be swept over with a thick mass of clouds on and off all day. Finally after work I ventured up the hill to investigate. When I arrived to SeaWinds a blanket of cloud swept over. I was thankful that I may get Some foggy photos. The fog came and went in waves. When it cleared I was disheartened though my spirits were quickly picked up with another wave of cloud that settled over the trees.
I’ve been wanting to get up to Seawinds for a while to get some photos for some new jewellery pendants. I’ll share the new pendant design next week. In the meantime here’s a collection of photos of Seawinds before the leaves change colours. Which will be very soon.

Hallways and Corridors
” Many speak of opportunities ” when one door opens another one closes” but rarely about the hallway the transition the inbetween where you are and where you are headed the hallway doesn’t have to be a scary Dark endless confusion it can be a space of massive transformation memories and peace. ”
Last month I did an online course called visionary portfolio with hopes of learning how to put a portfolio together. During the course I have been looking through my archives in search of themes. I mainly share objective images responding to prompts and briefs I find it therapeutic.
A theme that I realised which occurs in my photography is hallways all these photos were taken when significant events happened in my life which I wasn’t aware until going through my photos.
I want to extend on this project with more Hallway and Corridor photos which I’ll share gradually.
Silhouettes
Couldn’t resist sharing some silhouettes for this weekend Lens Artist Challenge.
Beach Boxes-Setting the Tone
Im currently doing a portfolio course and one of the assignments is to set the tone for a portfolio.
I took these photos recently in hopes to have a unified series of photos of Beachboxes.
I had spotted these Beachboxes over the months and had been waiting for an overcast flat Sky to unify them togeather. Although the last 2photos have a more colourful colour pallette I think the green grass ties them altogether.
Enjoy

Day 18: Blue Day
I visited one of my regular spots today as I was lacking inspiration .
I’ve decided not to share 10 photos a day as I’m finding it challenging and I’m sharing snaps which is not what I want to do.
Have a great evening

Day 17: Clover Creations
I was considering using this for inspired as I love land art and am inspired by so many artist particularly Ana Mendieta .
I specifically asked the gardener to not mow this section of clover as I wanted to so some creating . It didn’t turned out how i had envisioned so did some more macro.
Day 16: Shipwreck-a Composite
![rockpools.finaledit.jpg]](https://zojexphotography.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/rockpools.finaledit.jpg.jpeg?w=764)
This Week on Instagram’s @community_whp account, the theme was “inspired”. As i am centering my submissions around puddles. While researching I came across a photo by Kyle Thompson which inspired this photo.
These are the photos i took to make the image. As usual I was limited with light and although it was low tide the tide was further up than usual and i had to search for suitable rock pools. none were the right depth or size so i decided that i would composite them in.
I initially had the idea of using the reflection though thought it may not have communicated the way I intended. So I put back in the boat.
I havedone alot of compositing before though only used an app on my ipad, for this photo I used photoshop.Its not perfect though i am pleased with what i am learnt and will use it in future to composite images.
Have a Great Day.

Day 15: Cameron’s Bight Jetty
Day 15 of 30 day photography Challenge.
Yesterdays post inspired me to make a series of photos per day.
Often I take many photos only to pick my best one then discard the rest. Today i challenged myself to take at least 10 different photos of Cameron’s Bight Jetty it forced me to seek new perspectives. Sure they’re not all great photos and i had a limited amount of time to take them though I enjoyed the totally new perspectives I saw .
So for the next 10 days I will be sharing 10 photos a day. I find it a little daunting as time is limiting and subjects maybe boring though i find it a good way for me to broaden my photography and seek new perspectives.
Goodnight
Zoe
