I am taking part in a group exhibition called ‘Perhaps?’ at Catalyst Arts, Belfast, which opens on Monday 26th May and runs for 4 days until Thursday 29th May. I will be showing my latest photographic artwork which conveys the mystery, insecurity and peculiarity of night-time. These pieces were part of my final project for the end of my 2nd year in Fine Art at university. My work was heavily influenced and inspired by the dramatic photography of Gregory Crewdson, Ryan Schude and David LaChapelle.
I hope you can make it to the exhibition to see and enjoy my latest work, as well as the wide variety of work created by other students in my course.

The artwork was made from a series of photographs that were digitally edited and blended together with Photoshop.

I tend to watch and read a lot of Photoshop tutorials to improve my techniques and learn some new ones a long the way. In this case, I was looking at some guides for how to make a ‘Floating Island’. Taking some of those instructions and combining them with my prior Photoshop abilities, I began working on my own creation.
