It's been a long bleak term away from my polaroid camera.
The last seven weeks have been a never ending flurry of shows, lectures and meetings but constantly at the back of my mind was that I haven't truly lived up to my objective of capturing moments rather than staging them. This has been ticking away at the back of my mind for so long and then last night FINALLY inspiration came in the form of a group of drunken friends telling me to stop working and go to Revs with them. The idea was this- capture as many moments as I could while our inhibitions were few and hopefully truly capture the atmosphere of our friendship group, rather than staging it in the hope of perfect pictures.
Three glasses of Absolut later I whipped out my camera and tried very hard to catch my friends off guard as they prepared to pose for photos, and the results are among some of my favourite pictures so far, I just love how it captures the spirit of our friendship group (loving/slightly unhinged/crazy bitchy) so amazingly.
Enjoy the squalor of student housing as the backdrop for this set of shots, I promise our house is normally clean... The usual rules apply- hover over/click on the images to learn all of their secrets xoxo Gossip Girl
