This Is Me, Now

17th November 2008 by Aimee Marie

Hi! My name’s Aimee Marie & I’m a photographer & writer from London, England. I feel privileged to have been invited to guest-blog here at This Is Now & hope to share inspiration, creativity & visual-awakenings from the amazing This Is Now Flickr Pool!

I currently run my own photography & lifestyle blog at aimeemarie.com, but my passion began many moons ago, when I won my first 35mm point & shoot camera in a raffle when I was about 10! I began snapping away at anything & everything & soon moved to digital photography a few years later. I have some photography qualifications, but I wholeheartedly believe that you don’t need a grade on a piece of paper to tell you how good you are, as many people on Flickr have proved!

The photo below is from my Final Major Project at college, where I decided to concentrate on the Seven Deadly Sins– a subject which has been covered many, many times — but this time, with a twist. For me, the desensitization of the Sins is now. Society as a whole has been blinded by the mass-production of items that we covet & instead, we just see all these lovely, colourful things that we own & adore, forgetting that about the greed & gluttonous side of things.

I think it’s also very apt that I’ve heavily photoshopped this image, as we live in a time where perfection is something that many people now have a deep desire for & strive to get through surgery & enhancements.

All that from a bunch of shoes, eh?

I recently had a bit of a graphic card fail on my Mac.  This reminded me so much of that situation, with stunning and vibrant colours.

A self portrait taken by one of the best contributors to the This is Now pool, KreativeKell.  Stripes and patterns are something I love for design.  Add in the female form, and you’ve got one stunning image.  It’s no wonder this reached #1 on Flickr’s explore a month ago!

A slinky is great fun to play with, this just goes to prove it.  The depth of field and sharpness of this photo makes for an outstanding entry too.  So can I now have a play with it?
