Theme 1: Passion


Inspiration: I got this ticket years ago when I was supposed to go see Eminem, back then I wasnt his biggest fan, but as soon as he cancelled it ignited something inside me an I've loved him ever since, he truly is my 1 musical passion.

Theme 2: Buildings


Inspiration: I've twisted the theme to suit my picture for this one. I see the stage as a building. the whole setting of it with the name in lights I found really good, most artists have a back drop with their name on it but a little more effort was put into this one. I think it captured my Day at Oxegen perfectly.

Theme 1: Passion


Name: Welsh Flag
Inspiration: A Weird one but read this! A Country has Passion. A Flag for me has Passion. It shows the passion of the country

Theme 2: Buildings


Name: Harlech Castle
Inspiration: I live in such a beautiful area, and i live near this. I think its an amazing Building as it has been around since the 1400's!

Theme 1: Passion


Inspiration: The posture of this particular woman out of 3 in the circular statue I found to be most passionate in a sexual way, also helped by her being in the nude. I didn’t clean the statue to show that passion can get old with the collection of dust and cobwebs; trying to show this further by making the picture black and white. However it is still beautiful.

Theme 2: Buildings


Inspiration: I wanted to try and be more original and took a picture of a building that was simple in design in the form of glasshouses, and increase how interesting it looked. I achieved this by the angle of photo so that the glasshouses started close in the top left corner and distanced to the bottom right corner – forming a diagonal in which the observer’s eyes can travel down.

Theme 1: Passion


Name: Hardcore Wrestling
Inspiration: I thought that wrestlers were very aggressive and primal and, with a great dollop of homoeroticism (those pants are not a straight man's idea), the epitome of passion. There's a horse looking on because I thought it made it more natural and a little bit eccentric, as passion...always...is

Theme 2: Buildings


Name: Derelict my balls. No just 'derelict' will do.
Inspiration: My grandfather used to own this garage and I think the abandoned nature of it is something that only buildings can put across - it was once used as a car park and garage, and now... well I don't even know who owns it. I thought its broken windows and graffiti made a nice touch.
