This is my fourth school assignment. The theme of this assignment is ‘fear’.
Rather than capturing facial expressions of fear, I chose a more poetic, more consequential approach. I decided to photograph our annual Remembrance Day.
Most wars are based on an underlying sense of fear. As a consequence of Hitlers fears about 70 years ago, we’re still honouring our fallen on the 4th of may.
I hope you like it. Any feedback is, as usual, much appreciated!

This is my third assignment. The theme my teacher came up with is ‘out’, in its broadest definition.
I really struggled with my own interpretation of this theme. Eventually, I chose to photograph desolate places when the lights are out and the sun is set. To add another layer to the theme, I ‘singled out’ the subjects with my external flash (Canon 580EX II).
I used shutterspeeds varying from 90 to 180 seconds. When the curtain was open, I moved around and popped the flash a couple of timed by pressing the test-fire button. Oh, and I used a flash gel to make the light a bit warmer.
It was cold (-10 degrees celcius) and at times spooky, but I’m really pleased with the result. Especially since this is my first time using this technique.
