It has been an age and a day since I have used this space to share my goings on... A complete lack of interesting events may have led to that, alongside the slow death of my photographic career. that being said, I have begun writing posts again, and this time, they are a little more substantial. Some photographic related content, but a larger focus on videogames, both my utilisation of them within my 'Journey into the Virtual World' project, and my playing of them in general. If you'd like to follow me to my new destination, I would be most appreciative - all welcome! </p><p>If you do follow the link, you'll see, as Substack likes to show, a subscribe page.

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now that summer is in full swing, my time as a student is coming to a close (for now at least). Over the past three years I have been working my way through a BA (Hons) in Photography and last week we had out final graduate show. This year I have worked on several projects and my dissertation which will culminate in graduation later next month!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In the first half of the year I worked on my minor project and my dissertation. Since year 1 I have had an interest in the virtual world and its relation to the field of photography. My minor project continued this trend as I focused on the non-place, edge-lands and landscape within the virtual.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify; word-wrap: break-word;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">"‘Invisible Walls’ is a project of two parts, culminating in two sets of images focus on the abandoned environment within and the restrictive nature of the virtual game space.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: justify; word-wrap: break-word;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The project will be split into two halves, the first is a set of black and white images that are derived from the virtual and displayed via the analogue. The images focus on the ‘neglected environment’ which, within the virtual world acts as a decorative barrier to the user. Employing visual cues from the real and imagined, these scenes incorporate destruction, decay and neglect to visually fool the user into believing they are within the world they have entered. However, these scenes are non-interactive and merely serve as window dressing, creating the illusion of a wider world. These places serve as the edge lands and non-places within the chosen virtual world.</span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1em; text-align: justify; word-wrap: break-word;">
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The second set serves as an exploratory piece set within the virtual. This part of the project also documents the restricted areas that are imposed upon the user within virtual environments, however it is via the use of the topographical format that the imagery is delivered. With the ability to be near limitless in scope, many virtual environments are restrained in terms of their size and employ visual trickery to give the impression that they are larger and more detailed than they really are. This part of the project documents these false doorways and entrances formed into a coherent topographic photographic collection compiled of 100 individual images."</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The next think I had to work on was my dissertation which had the overly pretentious title of '</span><span style="background-color: transparent;">'The Emergence of 'in-game- photography: The validity of visual art produced via the photographic process within the virtual environment.' This was one of the major parts of my final year and I was glad to have gotten it out of the way in the first half!</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">After that was done we had our major project to work on.

<i>"VR)Ography is a dual part project that examines, documents and archives two ‘living’ aspects of the virtual world. The two parts focused upon within this project are the representation of the human form and the representation of the natural world.</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1em; text-align: justify; word-wrap: break-word;">
<i>Within virtual worlds, the representation of nature is often ignored or side-lined. This is often due to the representation of nature being of little consequence to the mechanics of play, or they utilised merely as set dressing that is only briefly in play. Within ‘Herbarium Simulacrum’ I have embarked upon a botanical documentative journey into the virtual and the real, collecting digital and physical samples from each realm. I have combined the two, highlighting the nature and beauty of both worlds. The addition of the real within this project serves to tie the virtual into the reality it is derived from."</i></div>

<i>Within virtual worlds, the human form is often misrepresented or represented poorly, this is usually due to the uncanny valley effect, or the lack of development into the scripting and AI of the background NPC. Within ‘People of the Virtual World’ I have explored the virtual environment and documented the human representations that resided within. By embarking upon this project, I have explored the humanity of the virtual, documenting through portraiture the non-player characters that populate the digital world. Along with the portraits I have constructed excerpts of text that create an emotional tie to the viewer and the NPCs depicted, thus humanising the simulation."</i></div>

This project was as you might suspect my most in depth that I have embarked upon during my time at the University of Brighton and my development file illustrates this. I found myself researching a much wider array of references and going a lot deeper into each. The written part of this project was over 42,000 words in length. I can only apologise to those who had to read through it to mark the work haha.</div>

After the work was complete it was time to prepare for our degree show. We all pitched in with the prep for the show and I decided to opt for designing the catalogue as I have a bit of an interest in graphic design. The process of collecting all of the content for the book was rather intense as we were very limited with time, but the process was fun and it improved my illustrator capabilities no end! The book started out as a stapled together scrappy draft and after refining the design and getting it professionally printed by Bristol based printers Taylor Brothers Ltd we ended up with a lovely catalogue to archive and remember the work of the class of 2018. </div>

With the focus less on the academic work now I am switching my focus back to the fashion/editorial/portraiture work I have been doing in the past. This week I had my first shoot in quite some time! I met up with the lovely Bethan Wright in London after not shooting together since 2014! We created some photography magic but more to come in a later blog post! In the mean time here is a sneaky peek from the back of the camera. :)</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For our second year major projects we were give an open brief, to embark on any theme we wished. For mine I decided to further explore an idea I had earlier on the representation of the digital world. The following is an exert from my project description, I thought I'd knock it down to that rather than dumping all 4500 words from my development file haha. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">"</span>The conceptual base of this project is to
explore the ideas between the virtual world and the real, to highlight the
ever-blurring lines between video games and war. As technology advances, the
realism in videogames becomes ever more true to life and at the same time real
life conflicts are resolved using more video game like processes. Along with
this, I am exploring ideas of propaganda and the possible deceit in photography
initiated by the artist. I hope to have accomplished this by forming a project
around these ideas on war journalism and more specifically war photography and
video games as simulacrums for war.</i></span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>The work consists of a series of virtual
images transformed via analogue techniques with the intention to showcase a
fictional conflict that has been brought into reality via its presentation. My
images are born from fictitious origins and presented in a way that takes them
from that and into reality."</i></span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After my initial presentation I had to reconsider my method of display for our upcoming exhibitions. The image below is how I originally envisioned the process of viewing the project. For the exhibitions however I created a wall mounted light box to display a small number of the negatives.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few weeks ago at the start of December I met up again with the lovely Elizabeth (of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gallerygirlldn/" target="_blank">GalleryGirl</a>) for our third shoot together! This time we were using a headpiece she had created as the main part of the costume! We met up in London and shot our first look outside a beautiful 18th century building and then made our way to Richmond Park to have some fun with smoke bombs! :D</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It only seems like a few
months since I received my letter of acceptance from Brighton University, now
I’m third of the way though! Since
enrolling, the fashion side of my photography work has taken a bit of a back
seat. For the duration of the year we have been working on 18 summaries, 2
essays and 4 main projects, as it doesn’t really match with the style of my
other work I have decided to show them here as opposed to my website!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my
first project I was compelled to stay relatively within the bounds of fashion
by combining previous work with new portraits. I decided to take a set of
imaged from previous fashion photoshoots, I then shot again with the model in a
new context, this being their rooms. I wanted to portray the models as they are
in their regular lives outside of fashion. Presented as a series of paired
images in a two by four grid in the order of room/set. I decided to present the
images of the models in their rooms in black and white, this was to contrast
them from the original images but to also focus the work on the model and their
emotions without the distractions on colour.</span></span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my second project I
decided to take a more experimental step. I didn’t want to just shoot regular
landscapes as I found it difficult to find any meaning at the time. I decided
to create a set of snapshot style Polaroid photos taken from a collection of
screenshots I took many years previous in the virtual worlds within a specific
video game. It gelled with the theme of holiday snapshots because I spent a lot
of time playing it as a child and it is now inaccessible, an environment that
has passed by with the progression of time. I also chose to shot the images
using instant film to bridge the gap between the virtual and the actual. The
physicality of the images obfuscated a certain amount of the digital evidence
that was visible within the original screenshots such as the aliasing along the
edges of the objects in the scenes.</span></span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the second project we moved on to semester two and a less broad
remit. For my third project I decided to investigate and catalogue a series of
murders that have occurred around the BN area of Brighton. Using a combination
of news archives and public police reports I was able to plot a set of
homicides on a map of the area. After collating the information I then went to
each of the locations and shot a photograph of each scene. For my final
presentation I displayed them along with the map of locations that I had
created.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For
my final project of year one I wanted to continue in similar vein to my
previous project by focusing again on crime, this time specifically fictional
crimes scenes. I put together a series of five case files containing detailed
documents such as coroner’s, fingerprint and scene reports. As well as this I
included photographs of the scenes along with images of the fabricated evidence
and linked correspondence. For the presentation of this final project I decided
to fabricate an office environment by adding a lamp, map and laptop to the
scene, this combined with the case files completed the feel I was aiming for.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A couple of weeks back had my 2nd shoot with the lovely <a href="https://instagram.com/lizzycollier/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Vartanian Collier</a> of <a href="http://gallerygirl.co/" target="_blank">Gallery Girl</a> - be sure to check out her blog! We met up in Crystal Palace for the 2nd time, although we didn't shoot in the gardens, this time we hired a quirky little place called <a href="http://www.antennastudios.co.uk/" target="_blank">Antenna Studios</a>. Below are some of the final images from the day! :)</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4 years of work, 1 year prep, 60 images, 26 models, 15 designers, 12 make-up artists, 8 stylists, 8 assistants, 5 agencies, 5 boutiques, 2 hair stylists and 1 photographer! It's amazing how quickly things pass by, the exhibition is over and it was great fun! Thank you to everyone who was involved in creating the images, helping me set up the exhibition and also everyone who came down to visit us at the gallery!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I first started framing the images as previously mentioned, about a year ago. Collecting frames and getting prints made over the months I quickly realised that 20 or so wouldn't be enough haha, deciding what images to display was definitely the hardest part!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">During the process of framing I decided to create a booklet, this would serve as a guide to the exhibition that would detail those involved in the creation of each image as well as displaying their chronological order.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And with that, a week later it was time to take down the frames and drive them back home!

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Although the exhibition is over it's my no means the end! It's time to shoot new work and build a bigger portfolio! Also I am working on opening a little shop for my website where I will be selling the books, prints and postcards that I make! You can pop on over to <a href="http://www.tomsimmonds.com/" target="_blank">www.tomsimmonds.com</a> and follow the shop link or head on over to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/tomsimmonds" target="_blank">etsy page</a>! This is what my shop would look like if it wasn't virtual haha. I'll be going into more detail about this in a future post so keep your eyes peeled! :)</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you may know I have been working on setting up my solo show for a very long time, and finally after almost a year in the planning my exhibition 'The First Four Years' is happening at <a href="http://www.gallery40.co.uk/" target="_blank">Gallery40</a>! We had the opening night last Friday and we'll be open until Thursday this week! If you're in Brighton come on down from around 11am-5pm! I will be posting in more detail after we're all done so if you miss it there will be lots of photos! :D</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A couple of weeks back I finally met up with the wonderful <a href="https://instagram.com/lizzycollier/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Vartanian Collier</a> who you might know as <a href="http://gallerygirl.co/" target="_blank">Gallery Girl from her fantastic blog</a> - if not you should definitely have a look! We met up in London for an adventure amongst the dinosaurs and sphinxes in the Crystal Palace gardens. Below are some of the final images from the day! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I met up with the lovely <a href="https://instagram.com/vanessatait/" target="_blank">Vanessa Tait</a> to shoot a little set of images that I had wanted to do in the sea! After rummaging around in the local vintage shops I managed to get together a suitable outfit. You can see these images on the wonderful Whim Online Magazine website by <a href="http://www.whimmagazine.com/2015/09/photoshoot-watermaiden-thomas-cole-simmonds/" target="_blank">following the link</a> or clicking the image below :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Back at the start of the year I began planning a shoot with a wonderful stylist by the name of <a href="http://www.laurensegal.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lauren Segal</a>, after a whole heap of emails we settled on a shoot date and got a team together. We met up mid April in London along with make-up artist <a href="http://www.izzycammareri.com/" target="_blank">Izzy Cammareri</a> and model <a href="http://www.oxygenmodels.com/" target="_blank">Jade Lindo</a> with designs by <a href="http://www.fridahoffman.co.uk/" target="_blank">Frida Hoffman</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Camera Finds: Bronica ETRsi</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's been an awfully long time since I've done one of these camera finds posts and to get back into it I thought I'd go with a beast of a camera, the Bronica ETRsi! This camera was one of my early attempts at gambling with my money on eBay and to my relief I ended up with something that wasn't utterly terrible! :D The ETRsi is primarily a medium format camera but it's also incredibly versatile with a broad range of film backs available.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tomsimmonds.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsUnA_1FjlLwHGpBHrZhGPu7bFdtHE5CtVmbE7d3tUStm8N5uChX8AES18s1EIqgOn2dUJ1YHmJBDi3H8mov7yc_0tlwKkjtDZFymWpVGLanfvXZmIQWZShVB46Ds7arHs7YUjAYGoY-g/s1600/Camera+Review+Image+00011.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apart from it's many uses as a camera the overall build quality and the feel of the camera when operating it is one of the things I like most about it, it's an absolute joy to use! As I mentioned previously you can get many back for this camera including a Polaroid version and you can even get an attachment to use a digital back if you have more money than sense. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I managed to get my hands on two types in addition to my 120 version, these allow me to to shoot with 35mm film on this camera. The 135N and 135W the latter of which after using prompted me to alter my style of shooting to incorporate a more panoramic and cinematic look to my work.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />Back in February on the 15th I made my way to London to shoot once again with stylist Shirly Piperno along with make-up artist Izzy Cammareri </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">and model </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Keziah Zeisser. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this shoot we had some difficulty finding suitable places to set up for shooting so we decided to rend a place nearby for the day, this was the first time I have tried this and it was perfect! Having somewhere reliable as a base nearby instead of using a cafe or something is highly recommended! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We met up around mid day at the house and Izzy got to work on Keziah's make-up and hair while Shirly prepared the outfits, during this time on a shoot I usually have nothing to do so I went and scouted the location ready for the first look! After some final touches and the first clothing change we got to work shooting six looks in total, finishing just in time to walk back while watching the sunset! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few behind the scenes photos taken throughout the day:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just before Christmas I had my last shoot of 2014 up in London with the lovely Bethan. We met up around Hampstead and braved the cold to get what was meant to be a summer shoot, although plans never go quite right so December ended up being when we did it. :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shoot was just published in the latest issue of the wonderful <a href="http://www.whimmagazine.com/" target="_blank">Whim Magazine </a>and you can see our images on pages 6-15 with an interview on pages 16-17! You see that the issue by <a href="http://issuu.com/whimonlinemagazine/docs/whim_issue_9" target="_blank">clicking here</a> or the image below! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other week I was tasked by the wonderful <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ella-Ruth-Photography/137899876259656?fref=photo" target="_blank">Ella Ruth Cowperthwaite</a> to take on the 7 day rainbow challenge where you have to create a new image each day for a week with the theme of the 7 colours of the rainbow!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was lacking a little on the photographic side of things and self portraits aren't so suitable when you're the antithesis of photogenic so I thought I'd go back to by graphic design college days and create 7 portraits in Photoshop using the trusty old friend - the pen tool! :D I've used this style before to create some images just to practice and this seemed like a great opportunity to use those skills! :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below are my 7 images for the challenge! If you decide to have a go yourself be sure to let me know what you create as I'd love to see! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This weeks post marks the finishing of my long and arduous quest of acquiring a camera that I've been wanting to add to my collection for a very long time, the Polaroid 195! And after a few weeks of intensive eBay page refreshing I managed to find one for a non ridiculous price (in camera terms at least)! :D </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The package made it's long journey from the heart of America and arrived on my doorstep just a couple of months back! And since then I've had a few shoots so I was able to begin testing it out as almost as soon as it arrived! So after loading a pack of FujiFilm FP-100 C the camera was ready and thus begat the clicking! Below are a couple of images that I've taken so far! Unfortunately I only had myself to test it on when it first arrived but that changed after a few weeks. :P</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few weeks back on the first day of November I made my way to London once again for another test shoot! This time with the lovely Kate Heaton. We were blessed with beautiful weather on the day and after meeting up we made our way to Camden Lock which was - as you can imagine impossibly busy on a rare hot day! This made picking out the locations we had in mind a little more difficult but annoying tourists are an evil that must be defeated! So we soldiered on and got to shooting where we could! Below are some of the final images from the day! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A Rainy Day with Paige</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last week I made my way to London on a drizzly Wednesday to spend the afternoon taking photos with the beautiful and talented Paige Crowson! We met at Victoria station and made our way to Battersea Park to take the first set of the day! It was eerily quiet there due to the weather (and the fact that normal people have jobs at that time haha) and the whole place seemed like an abandoned communist plaza, if only every location was like that! Tourists are the bane of photoshoots from my experience. :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After the first set we dried off in a little cafe close by and then we made our way to one of my favourite places in London, the Italian Gardens. I've shot there several times but despite it's small size I've been able to get fresh looking images each visit! The light was beginning to fade by then and the photos we took changed from a fresh and autumnal to more melancholy and dark which gave us a nice distinction between the two looks of the day! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below are some of the final images, you can also see them on my site at <a href="http://www.tomsimmonds.com/arainyday">www.tomsimmonds.com/arainyday</a></span><br />
