An image from Croft RAF base.
I visited with a friend who needed her work photographing and the images we came out with as a team were lovely. The lighting in the run down base is incredible. I have learned to LOVE natural light due to images like the one above where the light just falls beautifully through gaps in buildings and trees. Natural light was something I had avoided as I was obsessed with sticking to what I knew which was the studio and therefore the Bowen lights we have at college where my best friends. I find the light in this image just stunning to look at due to the symmetrical nature of the gaps in the wall and the way the light falls onto her head and down in a V shape. It's places like this old run down RAF base where you can find the most incredible natural light as the man made skeleton of the building is still intact and needs to be used for something.
As I have previously visited Croft in a previous unit many of the images are for her work rather than my own so I've only chosen a few to put into my sketchbook and present at the exhibition. This one above is my favourite from the series.
