working outside in the sunshine
Well, it would appear that my advert is being seen by people, as I was asked to cover an outside event this afternoon. The weather was a little overcast to start with but picked up as the afternoon got underway Strangely I had been asked to take photographs at the...
playing with new toys
Whenever I get a new toy, I like to employ my resident models to test it out - unluckily for Harriet, she was back from uni, so she had to put up with the worst of it First I just tried the lights in a normal environment ...then it was time to break out the backing...
Wild in The City
I took a trip to ZSL London Zoo on a glorious April day with my mind set on capturing some images of the wildlife on show. A large part of making images at the zoo involved focusing around netting and cages and avoiding reflections in the viewing windows. I was...
Sometimes a shot comes out just right
Wandering around Bedgebury I looked down and saw this shot, the water was just black and the duck a really bright white so rather than zoom in I thought I'd create a bit of 'negative space' and pop the little chap up in the top third, I think it came out just as I'd...
Up at Lords but it’s just not cricket!
I was tasked with covering a conference at Lords cricket ground in London and wanted to try and grab some shots that weren't just people up on stage pointing at graphs. A sense of bustle and busy-ness wasn't always easy to convey but a wide angle and a long lens...
Bodiam Castle on a dreary and cold March morning
Bodiam is somewhere that I love visting but just don't seem to get to often enough In summer I will come back and get some more colourful shots, but for now...
Sissinghurst on a cold ‘Spring’ day
We had planned a pleasant springtime walk around Sissinghurst Castle on its opening day but it was bitterly cold and the crowds stayed away Always a beautiful place to take pics, it's sometimes nice to seemingly have it all to yourself. ...
Black and White photography
Somebody got a new reversible backdrop so it was time to break out the lights and subject poor old Becky to an hour of flashes and smiles... The black side was much simpler to set up, needing only a little hair-light for separation, although I should have used a...
A sunny winter stroll through Knole Park
The winter sun was shining for one final day before gloomier winter weather was predicted, so we set off to Sevenoaks for a stroll around Knole Park while we had the chance. The deer were all hanging around the car park waiting for scraps from the visitors, seemingly...
A sunny winter’s day in Hastings
By way of a day out between Christmas and the New Year, we ventured down to Hastings to have a look around and maybe get some chips. We were lucky enough to catch a fishing boat being shoved down to the beach and launched ready for an evening fishing trip. The work...
Unwanted photographs
I was out taking photos in London yesterday, I had a specific brief and knew exactly what I was after, however a detour through Ruskin Park attracted the attention of this little chap and his friends - a nice change from the list of required shots. Once the light had...
Winter in Bedgebury
The weekend brought some lovely December sunshine so I trundled off in to Bedgebury with Becky Lou and my camera, on a mission to shoot what little colour was still available. There were still a few people around but nothing like the masses that can be found when the...
