📸 Bin or keep? Choosing shots for my England photo project 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well well well. Episode 3 already! Today i'm showing you some prints I've made up of potential final images in my photography project 'England's Dreaming'. I discuss images I'll be keeping, images I'll be binning and how I will eventually sequence them together as a photo-series. Thanks for watching!

I watched this as if it was a tutorial on doing card tricks hahaha I was all like 👀 teach me all your secrets. I hope you get to make a book out of these one day because I really love them!

Nice video! Looking forward to the next one!

I really like this format and it's just very pleasant to listen to you talking about your thoughts behind the photos and the creative process. I don't know much about photography projects or series, so this has been quite eye-opening. Even if "nothing comes out of it", I think it's great that you have seen and recorded so many interesting things in this world, it kind of makes me happy to be alive and to see that the world has so much beauty and wonder to offer. Like you never know what you'll see tomorrow. I love the photos, they're amazing!

Really enjoying this series and finding myself super motivated to pick up my camera again!

I'm super invested in this project - knowing nothing about photography beforehand, I feel I'm learning so much. I am in awe of your passion and commitment.

LOVE the picture of the redhead sleeping in the park! How very apt for your project title, too. Lots of oranges/warm reds in your pictures. 🧡 This reminds me of the critiques at uni! We used to get our photos done at a chemist that did them in ~a7 size, so you could really fill up that crit table - and then start the process of weeding out the maybe not so great ones. Good times! 🥰

[@CraigSimmonds]

Yes! I took that one before I had a name for the project so it took on a whole new meaning when I decided on 'England's Dreaming'. Ah yes, uni critiques. I used to find them so nerve-wracking!

Just caught up on the series-loving it so far! The insight into your creative process has inspired me. Another Light on Surface zine stan

Haha the LOS fans are OG's!

[@joannawilkerson6226]

So inspiring and great to hear all the thought behind it!

Hi Craig! Thank you for sharing your process. I find it so interesting to see how others create their stuff and the reasoning behind it. Also - so relaxing 🥰

[@CraigSimmonds]

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks so much for sharing your process, I'm finding it super interesting as a seriously amateur photographer! Loved that shot of the woman carrying her baby, really striking to see the softness of the act against the contrasting light!

[@CraigSimmonds]

Thank you!

Your project makes me think of the game Dixit where each expansion deck has a theme such as ‘Daydreams’ and the cards are all very different but somehow they all work together as a piece of art. I really enjoy watching your process! Very interesting

To be honest I didn't realise Jessops still existed. Or maybe they don't and its a new company that are just using the brand.

Another great video! 😀

[@lucysmith7658]

Thanks for another good video 😁

Light on surface was the best zine I’ve bought to this day. Can’t wait to buy the next project 💯💯

[@CraigSimmonds]

Thanks man! :)
