What’s your Everyday? / What’s your Routine?
I woke up at 8 am on Wednesday, January 27th, switched on the light in my bedroom and then began straightening up my room as I wanted to make my bed and open the curtains. I went into the bathroom to wash my face after my room was organised, but I used cold water, I used hot boiling water and Dove soap for my hands, I began bushing my teeth with Colgate once I dried my hands before going down the stairs for breakfast.
I got myself a bowl out of the cupboard after I got down the stairs and then made some bran flakes with cold milk for myself. I finished eating my breakfast and I made a nice cup of tea with two teaspoons of sweater for myself before going back upstairs to my room to do some coursework. I pulled my desk out to start working once I was upstairs in my room, while I stayed, I gave 24KGoldn a listen as my brother said he was very interesting, so I listened to him for an hour while I was doing some coursework on my laptop.
I went to the bathroom at 1 pm to run a boiling hot bath myself as my body was aching, I spent half an hour in the bathroom as I didn’t want to move, I dried myself and brushed my hair to the left side after I got out of the bath. Then I went back downstairs to prepare something to eat for myself, I made my own beans on toast as I wanted something that was fast and convenient as I had to get ready for work because at 3 pm I had to go to work.
It takes about 15 to 20 minutes from my house to work to walk to work, until I’m the restaurant I still have to take my temperature before coming in any more, once I’m in the McDonalds lobby, before clocking in for my shift, I have to go iron my work clothes. That gives me enough time before beginning my 4 PM – 10 PM shift to get sorted. I was advised to go and get my break by 5:30 pm until I stocked the dressing table because we didn’t have any Cheese, Bacon, Fresh Onion and Square cut Lettuce.
I took 45 minutes on my lunch, had my normal break, and that’s a spicy legend, no lettuce, no ice Sprite. My break ended at 6:15 pm, and I had to cover one of my co workers’ breaks until I was back in the kitchen, so I was on the grill for 45 minutes. I began to do some cleaning duties for the boss until the person I was covering came back. One of the two grills used for cooking meat was washed at the end of the turn. At 10:05, I clocked out as I wanted to make sure a fabric wash was on before I went home.
Before I left the restaurant, I went and brought myself something to eat before I went home to go to bed for the night at 11:30
The Everyday photography of Transport:
Journey; walking around the house, walking to and from work
Transport; Bicycle, Motorcycle, Car, Taxi, Van, Bus
Locations Around the House; Bedroom, Bathroom, Kitchen, Stairs, Hallway, Lounge…
Locations; House, Sainsbury’s, Mcdonalds, Corner Shop (Our Local)
Early morning walks to work are always a nice and peaceful start to anyone’s day. For me, I enjoy walking alone for 15 – 20 minutes before, I start to interact with other people.
I only captured a few shots whiles I was on my way to work, as in the morning it was so cold, dark and very breezy, so I’ve only just captured a few photo of me walking towards work, so there’s a few shots in motion compared to the others when I stopped walking to capture the area.
Here’s a selection of photographs that I captured on my way to work, during work and on my way back from my early morning shift.
Early morning wake up call for me, as I have to be at work for 5 a.m., so I also had my 4 a.m. alarm set. So this gives me plenty of time, including brushing my teeth with hot water and washing my face with cold water, to sort myself out for the day. It also gave me time to change my work clothes and also to place them in a bag to carry with me. There were three doors I had to unlock, even to leave the building. My bedroom door was door number one, the front porch door was door number two, the front door was the third and final door as I had to unlock all doors before leaving the house.
Since coronavirus, it’s been around for over a year now. It has affected a huge number of people, including myself, as I’ve always been able to take 10,000 steps a day, but now I’m struggling to take more than 5,000 steps a day. So I feel like I’m starting to lose strength in my legs, because I’m not walking as far as I was before the lockdowns the UK have been put in.
Narrative Within Photography
“a story or account of events, experiences, or the like, whether true or fictitious.”
Duane Michals
He is one of the great photographic innovators of the last century, widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and text. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, hosted Michals’ first solo exhibition (1970).
What camera does Duane Michals use?
Duane even managed to offend gearheads by using a cheap, Argus C-3 camera for “Sequences.” While it made taking double exposures easier, it shocked those of us who believed that for real photography you had to use a Leica or Nikon.
Judy Gelles
She was an American multimedia artist who explored the interplay of images and text between art, sociology and psychology. Over a career of 40 years, she worked in photography, film and video, installation, and artist’s books. Her photography is known for documenting family and domestic life, especially her own, with an ongoing witty and open mind on traditional roles for women as daughters, wives, and mothers. It moved beyond its own family as a subject, culminating in the decade-long Fourth Grade Project, a portrait study of the lives of 300 children from around the world. Her incisive use of language overlaid on or below her images was a sign of her work.
Artist, photographer, filmmaker Judy Gelles holds an MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Masters in Counseling from the University of Miami. Her work is part of the public collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Art. She had residencies at the MacDowell Colony, the Visual Studies Workshop and the Atlantic Center for the Arts. It is published in Ms. Magazine; Vision Magazine, Beijing; Camerawork; New Art Examiner and Artweek.
The awards include Critical Mass Top 50 Photographers, the William Penn Foundation Grant, the Fleisher Challenge Artist Award, the Mid-Atlantic Arts Artist Catalyst Grant, the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Award and the CENTER Santa Fe Curators Choice Award. Gelles has taught at Boston College, Tufts University, and Philadelphia University of the Arts.
Todd Hido
He’s an American contemporary artist and photographer. He has produced 17 books, his work has been widely exhibited and included in various public collections.
One thing you can say about the photos of Todd Hido, they’re consistent. In fact, the camera, the Pentax 67, and the film, the Kodak 400NC Portra, have remained consistent for years. He found a beautiful process, and kept up with it. From almost his first exhibition at the Guggenheim.
His cinematic styles almost invoke the moment of “Children of the Corn” in the viewer, in what would otherwise be considered mundane. In fact, he purposely uses both the overcast days and the wall of the unclean car windshield as a kind of filter for this facade. His outer landscapes evoke a deep sense of what appears to be an endless series. But the suburbs, with their matchbox houses, just make you wonder if the lives inside those dreams are as desperate as the outside portends.
Fashion Is Everything
Fashion photography is a genre of photography dedicated to the display of clothing and other fashion items. Fashion photography is most often used in advertising or fashion magazines such as Vogue, Vanity Fair or Elle.
Fashion photography focuses on branding: models, location, props and other aspects of the shoot are of great importance. The goal is to create something unique that will arrest the eye and stick to the mind of the viewer, to create an identity that will be attached to your product and, subsequently, to your brand.
Although the earliest known fashion photographs date back to the 1850s, in the court of Napoleon III, the use of photography as an advertising tool did not become popular until the early 20th century, when fashion itself became accessible to a wider audience.
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only”
“When you think of fashion photography, it’s a dream”
“I like the stories”
“Fashion is in the sky, in the street”
“Fashion is the opposite of the real, its worst enemy”
Cons. Fashion Photography is very competitive because there are only a few jobs and a lot of people who want those jobs. Traveling can actually be a problem if you don’t like to travel. It can be hard to start because you need to build your career first.
Types of Fashion Photography
Editorial fashion photography
This kind of photography is featured in fashion magazines, books, posters, etc. The styling here plays the lead role, and the story runs through the photo shoot. Different stories, articles, publications, and ideas are combined with visual content, which is further published. Editorial/ fashion models are photographed throughout the day on different locations and in different wardrobes.
High Fashion photography
Often the big brands and label advertise their products using high fashion photography for which different models are chosen. This kind of photography revolves around supermodels, celebrities be it actors, singers or reality TV show personality. High fashion models chosen for the product has certain prerequisites to qualify.
Catalogue photography
Print media companies use this style of photography. The product images are printed to market them to their clients. The informational pictures clicked under this style where the model is made to pose against a specific background and the clothing or the accessories that have to be promoted can be seen In the photo shoot.
Street fashion photography
Street Fashion Photography is the most relatable kind of photography. In this style, the essence of fashion that exists on the street captured. It showcases what typical people wear, how they can see the style, and how their regular clothes make the fashion statement.
Alternate Fashion Photography
Ever heard about alternate fashion? Fashion is a very volatile business. A type of dressing which is popular today may go out of trend in some weeks. But some legendary trends became popular in their time and stayed in the market for the longest time. Alternate Fashion photography tries to revive these lost trends.
Advertising Fashion Photography
Advertising Fashion photography has a tiny scale and qualified approach. It may include only one exclusive picture of a model dressed up in a particular dress. Such photography is done by major brands for outdoor advertising to display it in the hoardings and other exclusive areas.
Look Book
The Look book is a type of Fashion photography that combines the style of Portfolio-catalog and editorial. It consists of a model dressed up in a line of clothing featured by a particular brand and this is used as a catalogue by that brand. The Look Book can be used independently by the photographers and models as their portfolio displaying their abilities.
Beauty Editorial
Beauty Editorial photography is the subtype of Editorial photography. It has a precise approach towards the elements like jewelry, makeup, hairstyle, and headwear. The style is more focused and has close up frames of these elements along with a story running through.
Fashion Photography:
09 / 02 / 2021
From the Every day I will be producing photographs based on the everyday of fashion and i will be producing the work from the 10th to the 17th of February 2021, I will take pictures of my outfits I wear for each day.
I’m going to capture the clothes for everyday outfits, from hanging up to being Folded or even being worn by myself.
Displaying Fashion:
- Hung Up
- Folded
- Worn
- Placed in work bag
I’m also going to take pictures of my work wear for the days I work, because I only work three days a week, which means that I get changed four times a day, from waking up to getting changed before I leave for work and then coming to work and then getting changed again, that’s when I’ve ironed my work clothes to get changed before I start my shift.
After I’ve finished my shift, I have to get back before I leave the restaurant to walk home. And finally, for the last time of the day, I’m going to change into my silk.
I photographed the three different styles from my relaxed day outfits to the clothes I wear at work from the mini photoshoots and eventually my last outfit I’m going to need to change into my last outfit of the day and that’s going to be my grey silk pyjamas with tiny white and maroon rectangles going down the legs and down the sleeves of my pyjamas top and bottoms
What I found very hard about me catching me in the frame of the shoot wearing the outfit I picked up for the day was that I wasn’t able to control the Lighting, Lens, or even the orientation of the camera, as I had to do with a self-timer, where the timer went every 10 seconds after you pushed the shutter button, because you don’t have a lot of time to set yourself in place before the camera button. When I went over the images that I managed to take with the timer, there were just a few hundred that I really enjoyed from the shoot. The optimistic outcome of the shoot was that it made it more difficult to pick the 20 photos for the contact sheet that was set for the day.
Displaying Fashion;
- Placed out on the bed
- Hanged up against my bookcase
- Siting down on the bed
- Standing up
I’m going to use my bedroom for this shoot, as the lighting is more important. So for the photo shoot, I’m going to be putting my clothes on my bed, I’m also going to be hanging them up against my bookcase/Shoe rack, and then I’m also going to be taking pictures of myself sitting down on my bed in the outfit I picked up for today, and finally I’m going to be standing up, and leaning against my fireplace, then standing next to my bed.
From Fashion Contact Sheet Two, I picked 20 photos that stood out for me as I decided to concentrate more on the lighting, the specifics of the clothes and the fabrics of the clothes I’ve chosen to wear for today. I’m very happy with the configuration of my camera and the illumination that was the secret to me, much like the window in the back of the ground, the pictures wouldn’t have come out the way they did.
What I particularly enjoy about this photo shoot is that I’m off centre, which makes shooting more fun to see when you see more of the backdrop instead of just more of the model in the picture frame. The patterns of the grey silk pyjamas when you can see a wide variety of shades and colours as the pyjamas have a touch of black, silver from a distance as they make you wonder what is the colour of the silk pyjamas.

Jan Masny
Advertising, Fashion and Beauty Photographer And Filmmaker
He’s been a talented photographer for the past 20 years. Having long been intrigued with polarities and variations in context, his capacity to draw sometimes surprising facets from his subjects brings freshness and complexity to his work.
His enthusiasm for discovering these new means of expression began with the practise of black and white analogue photography and darkroom experiments. He rapidly established his creative practise in London, working in the advertisement and fashion industries. Over the last decade, he has turned into moving image, where his experience of photographic film processes has improved his capacity to create visual effects by using analogue filmmaking techniques.
The Master’s degree in Moving Image from the University of Ravensbourne and the modern modes of speech in CGI and digital VFX now allow him to translate his photography knowledge into the cutting-edge digital realm.
Because of his passion for rock climbing, his professional work focuses on filming outdoor experiences. His 2012 film “Todra Gorge” made an official selection at the XVIII Mountain Film Festival of A. Zawada in Ladek Zdroj, won the second award at the “Oddalenia” Short Film Competition in Dublin.

The reason I selected Jan Masny is because I really like how he uses lights in all of his portraits as he photographs numerous tines, textures and specifics in the pictures he shoots.
