One day a gardener went about her daily duties watering the flowers growing in her dark surreal garden when a man known as the creeper stalks her out. When he attempts to attack her cupid intervenes and they fall madly in love with each other.




These images were created as part of a brief for a commercial fashion based assignment for Uni.

Many people suffer with Sleep Paralysis or Night Terrors. They claim that a mysterious Presence enters the rooms and lies upon their chest. They are unable to move and sometimes unable to scream. They claim to have seen shadows, goblins, old hags, aliens and much more.

This is my representation using the form of a shadow as the mysterious presence.

Do not watch if eerie sounds and images upset you :) LOL

Have you ever woke up scared, unable to move speak or even scream. Felt like someone or something is siting on top of you.

If so I want to hear your story.

Write me a few lines of your experience it will prove of much use to my new Uni Project.

The Project - At Uni I now have the chance to take my skills from Photography into the form of moving image. The Hag Attack is something I haven't personally experienced but I have witnessed and saw what it effect it has on someone else.

Although the reports of these experiences seem the same I want to collect a range of stories from different people to compare them.

This research will then help me to decide on how I want to shoot, record and set up a 1-3 minute moving image piece.


Thanks for reading
Dave

Here is a quick selection of images taken whilst I was Egypt.
For ages I had these sitting on my HD and had done nothing with most of them until now.

The following images were the results of an advertising assignment at Uni.

The brief was to use multiple sources to create a composite advertisement so I choose to work with my Nikon D300 and produce advertising shots slightly different to the ones that Nikon usually use.
All images use at least four different images and were shot on my D300 except for the actual picture of my D300. That image was shot using the Uni's Fuji S3.



Two more under cut plus larger )

As always comments and constructive criticism is welcome.

You may remember a while ago when I posted some pics of Tragic Wrath in a themed shoot styled around necrophillia.
Well I have revisted the images and pulled out a rather large collection of them, even more than what is posted here.
The ones posted here are the chosen ones by Tragic herself.

I edited these in Lightroom and originally edited them all in black and white before messing about to reveal the reds within the images.

Anhow here they are below the cut.
Beware these images consist of sexual gore and may be upsetting.
There are also a large quantity of images behind the cut so may take a while to load on slow internet connections

BEWARE GORE CONTENT BEHIND HERE - 31 IMAGES )

As always comments and constructive criticism is welcome.

I finally had the urge to go and finish producing my website.

That's a big problem with me at the moment, I would rather do stuff for other people than do something for myself which is why it has taken so long to complete it.

The only sections left to do on the site is the services pages and more gallery's will need to be added.

Anyhow goto http://www.in-depthphotos.co.uk to check it out.

Let me know what you think :)

Firstly let me say thank you to all who left feedback on my last post.
The images I have been posting are all from my course throughout the last year and your feedback is proving to be more helpful than the feedback I was given from my course tutors.

This year I successfully graduated for a HND in Photography and I have decided to continue studying for a BA which I start this September. Your feedback will help me to continue to better myself especially in areas where I lack slightly on certain skills and knowledge.

Here are some images I produced for a location based project which I decided to experiment with HDR. These were created using three or more exposures from the shoot.

Again Constructive Criticism Welcome
Thanks

As part of one of my fashion briefs I had to create a set of images in an editorial style.

I wanted to try some lighting techniques at night and used an off camera flash head with a shoot through brolly.

Here are the results.

My Final Major Project for my HND studies which was showcased at the Lighthouse Gallery in Wolverhampton along with other students work.



Project Info
David Coxsell is a graduating HND student.

His project is an exploration of the dangers inherent in addiction drawing especially on the impact of gambling.

The work is influenced by David’s personal experience and his observations of the negative impact of addiction on the society around him.

The scenes he has created within his images reveal the often overlooked reality of addictive personalities and the effect their problem has on their lives.David has experienced such situations and draws from the experience of his partner, a manageress in a local bookmakers.

David believes he has the knowledge and personal experience to get the right message across within his work. He hopes that people will be able to see the depth of the messages he has tried to capture within them.

David has used digital media to create his images and has used his wide knowledge and large range of digital editing skills to create his images in a photographic illustrative style.

I know I dont use LJ much but I will try to do some updates soon and post some images which I have been creating throughout my course.

The last 2-3 weeks has been hectic Final Major Project ideas need to be in for next week and I been sulking and hanging my head low all week.

Why? Cause I just have a mental block and can't think of anything to do.
I know I can do it it just means I gotta crawl back inside my little bubble where I know I am safe and stop thinking toooo far out of the box.

At least I get to see my fave band next week at the Defenders Of Faith gig at the Academy.
Anyone going, if so be sure to say hi if you see me.
Will be awesome to see what Dez does to the academy with the amazing circle pits he pulls off, but with the army of Opeth and Arch Enemy fans which will be there will he be able to pull it off?
Should be a great night anyway and a chance to let my errrrrrr got no hair to let down so errrrr kick some fuckin ass I guess lol.
Nah should be good what I on about it will be good :)

No Download Fest this year I dont think, it just gets worse each year. Whats the point in spending £160+ to see a few bands that I would like to see to have to listen to a load of other crap all weekend. Sooooo thinking I may go to Bloodstock this year.

Well I will post some pics soon to show you all what I been doing. Will be different to what you usually see from me thats for sure.
