Ruby Faye for SYN Magazine

So here we have it - my first shoot of the year! This year's been off to a bit of a slow but it's starting to pick up again, with old shoots being retouched and new shoots organised as we speak.<br /><div><br /></div><div>This shoot finally gave me an opportunity to work with the lovely Emma Hardware again - it's been far too long and I missed working with her so much. She was the make up artist who worked with me on my first ever editorial and it is always an absolute joy collaborating with her!<br /><br />A giant thank you to SYN for publishing the shoot, it's by far my favourite online magazine and there are no words for how honoured I feel to be alongside the other photographers and editorials that are featured.

Endless fog

A little selection of self-portraits from two consecutive foggy days at the beginning of the month. Quite possibly my favourite weather for self-portraiture - I don't even think snow matches the beauty of fog!<br /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/_MG_3738.jpg" width="650" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/_MG_3822.jpg" width="650" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/028.jpg" width="650" /><br /><br /><i>A little BTS after spending half an hour running in the mud - my remote wouldn't work in the fog so I had to trip the 10 second timer every time I took a shot!</i><br /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/_MG_3754.jpg" width="650" /><br /><br /><iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fdismantlerepair-photo.blogspot.co.uk%2F2012%2F03%2Fendless-fog.html&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=false&action=like&colorscheme=light&font=arial&height=35&appId=112365025537572" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Self-portraiture

If you follow my work it will probably have become clear that I have been shooting a ridiculous amount of self-portraits lately. Usually this is something I would <i>really</i> beat myself up about but over these last few weeks I've learnt to realise that it's not necessarily a bad thing at all - this "me time" that I set aside to shoot them in gives me a chance to experiment and try new techniques and ideas I wouldn't want to inflict upon anybody else first, and record moments in my life in the best way I know how.<br /><br />It's saved me from hating myself for not being able to shoot in the coldest months of the year, made sure I never, ever have to feel bored again and helped me channel frustration, sadness, and negativity into something creative more times than I can say.<br /><br />I've come to realise that self-portraiture is a <i>part of me</i> and always will be, and instead of hating it and shooting them out of necessity, it's time to embrace it!<br /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/006.jpg" width="650" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/011.jpg" width="650" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/008.jpg" width="650" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/010b.jpg" width="650" /><br /><br /><iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fdismantlerepair-photo.blogspot.co.uk%2F2012%2F03%2Fself-portraiture.html&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=false&action=like&colorscheme=light&font=arial&height=35&appId=112365025537572" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
