Salmonsfest | Vicky Holmes

Towards the end of August, my sister and I travelled to Monmouth, Wales to go to Salmonsfest - held at the Three Salmons Hotel. The day turned out to be really nice after the rain we experienced on our travels. We some how ended up incredibly close to the front of the crowd and I managed to capture a fair few photos of the evening. I thought all of the bands were great and I also got to see my brother's band, Chasing Grace, perform.

These are a few of the images that I took during the evening.

I realise that they are not the best images that could be taken at a show with live music, but I am still learning new things about photography and its techniques everyday. 

London Montages | Vicky Holmes

As part of one of my college projects, I had to interpret my own meaning of the word "montages" and create montages from that meaning. I believe that montage or collage photography is whatever you want it to be. I think that montages should be similar to those that Serge Mendzhiyskogo and David Hockney creates however, if you think differently then you could be right also.

For this project, I decided to follow in Serge Mendzhiyskogo's footsteps and shoot around the City of London from the London Eye, to Westminster, to Piccadilly Circus. Although being a little lopsided, I think that the montages that I have created are fairly interesting from a different point of view than only one image.

London | Vicky Holmes

Living in London can be a good thing and a bad thing in my opinion. I feel like I am not as grateful for everything that people are so excited about because I see tourist attractions so frequently when going around London.

I went into London a couple of weeks back with my college to visit Somerset House and the National Portrait Gallery. After that, we went off in groups and took some photographs...
