I have come across Aarons work before and just not out it up on the blog, check out his Tumblr for a wide range of works, i really like the selected work iv posted but to be honest i beginning to be a fan of all his stuff. Seeing some of the students do something similar in the past i have real appreciation for his work and style. http://aaronmoran.tumblr.com/

Pop Up brought to life

A cool little animation using a range of different methods.

a second a day

There are some things that i find really naff, one of these are light paintings. It seems that everyone is doing it and when i see them i often just think that's so cheap and nasty looking. The other thing is the self portrait each day of my life montage crap, so tired of seeing it and who cares.
However i do quite like this film i found on Petapixel of a second footage each day of 2011, its well put together and for that many individual clips it flows really well and must have been extremely laborious. The end result is a great watch and interesting to say the least.

Quentin Arnaud

i had been meaning to post these portraits since i found them months ago, I'm not sure why iv left it until now but they have certainly been on my mind since i saw them. Eery is a word to describe them but i find myself wondering about the face, its expression, its emotion and can this be classed as a portrait if there is no face? Quenin Arnaud certainly captures the shape of the face and its depth.

Prometheus

Check it out, one of our ex students worked on the special effects on this movie most of which is in the trailer. Makes me want to go back to uni and have a career change.

Christopher Bucklow's Pinhole

Bucklow begins by projecting the shadow of his sitter on a large sheet of aluminum foil and tracing its outline. He then makes about twenty thousand small pinholes in the foil silhouette (one for each day of the average human lifespan). Using a contraption of his own device that places the foil over a large sheet of photographic paper, Bucklow wheels his homemade 'camera' out into daylight and pulls the 'shutter' to briefly expose the paper to direct sunlight. Thus each finished picture becomes a kind of photogram silhouette composed of thousands of pinhole photographs of the sun. The intensity of light on a given day and the length of exposure create unique color variations on how the resulting piece appears. via Danziger Gallery:

Buckow's cast of characters are drawn from his circle of acquaintances and, unlike conventional photography, each image is unique and unrepeatable.

Nuala Darcul

I Don't know much about Nuala Darcul apart from i found her on Intimate Vignettes, but check out her work on flickr. I was talking earlier today with a student about going right back forgetting all the rules and going against what we had learned when taking a Photo mainly focus, shutter speed and aperture try and regain an innocence in the image. Im not sure if this was what i meant but its as close as i could find and i Reilly like the images.
