2010 Calendar is out! / Exhibition is on MONDAY!

My 2010 calendar is out! Those in Trinidad can pick them up at Rainy Days in Ellerslie Plaza. Orders can also be made directly through me ( info@lauraferreira.com ) for local and international purchases.

My first photography and digital art exhibition is this Monday! Hope to see everyone there! If you haven't heard of it yet, here's your invitation. See you there!

Some recent work:

Only 25 more days....

...til the exhibition!

I've been living in the past for about a week. Realised today that the date on my watch is actually yesterday's, so an entire 24 hours has gone *poof*. The calendar artwork is at the printer's now and I'm patiently waiting to get the hard copies. I do feel a bit nervous because I've never printed my work like this before, I'm just a print noob going through her first nooby experience. You go through the work over and over proof-reading it and you swear that everything is fine. Then they call and inform you that Christmas was spelled wrong :/

I also finally got the chance to see The Solitary Alchemist (the film I did the poster for) and left the cinema completely inspired. As a result, I'm about to begin a series inspired by the work of jeweler Barbara Jardine, who the film was based on. I wrote a bit more about it here , feel free to check it out. There are other sets I would like to do before October is finished but I'm just piling on too much right now, the plate is going to break. So don't be surprised if you see a Halloween series in November / December.

I did some work in September with my favourite model Chris Steel. We got to pick out some Heather Jones dresses from her store and trekked up to this beauitul peak in St. Anns where Pine trees surround a little log cabin. Didn't feel like Trinidad at all! Apparently it was more like Canada, but I've never been so I could only nod and blink at Chris. Here are the images from that set plus some self-portraits I did, and work with HD Family - soca artistes from Trinidad.

First Solo Exhibition / Calendar 2010

I'll be having my first photography and digital art exhibition at More Vino on November 2nd. It will be running for the entire month and there will be prints on sale as well as my 2010 calendar. I am currently in the stages of putting it together to go to print within the next week and a half so as soon as I am ready I'll be taking orders. Calendars will also be available for purchase at Rainy Days in Ellerslie Plaza. I'll post here again as soon as they are ready for purchasing so keep your eyes open :)
