India - Amazing!!!!

So on my travels the first place that I visited was India. Armed and ready to go with my brand new camera, and traveling head on, I was extremely excited to get my trip underway. Me and my mate Aman were about to embark on the trip of a lifetime. 

I thought that India would be the perfect place for us both to get stuck in and experience such a different culture from our own and we were not dissapointed. As soon as we landed in Mumbai it was all systems go. Everything was so manic, from the taxi to our hostel to walking down the street to get a drink. It was crazy something i will never forget. I couldn't wait to unpack my bag, grab my camera and go and see what Mumbai has to offer.

I was really excited to take some photographs because India is famous for having such vibrant colours and incredible sites. I got snapping straight away and managed to get some really good photographs. It was absolutely amazing, such a contrast from London. 

These photographs are some of my favourite from India. I took these photos on my Nikon D3100 DSLR with a 18-55mm Lens, with the use of a little bit of Photoshop i think they have come out really well. Feel free to comment on your favourite pictures in this collection and whether or not you enjoyed your experience of Mumbai just as much as i did.

First Of Many!!

Here we go.....the first blog from Beyond.the LEN5*. For a while now I have been thinking about starting a blog, posting up my own personal Photography and Videos to put myself into the public domain, so here I go!! This blog is basically an opportunity to showcase my skills, whether it be Photography, Editing or Producing. Having traveled around the world i want to share my photographs and experiences with other people.

As well as all this exciting stuff I will be posting Music Videos and Photography that is currently out there in the big wide world that has caught my eye. I have a real passion for Music Videos and love the different styles used when producing them, so this will be apparent in my blog. I will also be conducting interviews with Director's, Cameramen and DOP's (Director of Photography) to give people an insight into the production process on set. And if possible I will also post up photographs from working on set. 

Anyway keep your eyes peeled as I will now be updating regularly, all up and coming photographers, producers, directors etc would be welcome to showcase their skills on this blog as well.
