Posted on October 27, 2011 by

A couple of good people that I am getting to know have just finished putting together a new photographic studio in Basingstoke.  This is a completely ‘for hire’ resource and is not attached to any specific photographer or company, and … Continue reading →

Looking for… construction locations

Posted on October 24, 2011 by

Something I never had any success finding is a location that either is or looks like an active construction site. Part of the problem is that here in the UK we are so tied up in health and safety regulations … Continue reading →

Bright night sky

Posted on September 30, 2011 by

  As with the last post, this was all a bit experimental.  I was not sure what sort of image I could capture with just a single frame (i.e. no HDR) and a long exposure at night.  So before heading … Continue reading →

Random pictures in the garden

Posted on September 28, 2011 by

  The other day the sun came out whilst I was working, and so I closed up the laptop, grabbed the camera, and went outside to take some pictures.  There was no intent to produce epic works of art, or … Continue reading →

  Last week I went down to the New Forest for a few days, and took the opportunity to try out the new Canon 550D ‘in the wild’.  These were all taken with the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 lens which has … Continue reading →

Pontneddfechan – the colour shots

Posted on August 11, 2011 by

  These are from the shoot we did the other day that resulted in the sepia pictures in an earlier post. I wasn’t going to post the colour versions at first but I really like them, so why not.

Posted on August 7, 2011 by

I’m looking for pregnant models for a series of very simple and basic nude shoots that aim to try and catch some of the emotions and thoughts that accompany pregnancy.  This would be an ongoing thing that is updated and … Continue reading →

My new photography site

High Elms – Aug 2011

Posted on August 7, 2011 by

  Took a trip to the local park today to test out a new lens, a Tamron 28-75 f2.8, on my 550D.  This was far from being the most expensive lens of its type that I could have got, but … Continue reading →

Layla – Sepia

Posted on August 7, 2011 by

  Layla, a mediaeval-style cloak, a replica pistol and a Welsh mountain. I wanted to get an old-style feel to the photographs and so the sepia look worked well for them. Many years ago I did some real sepia toning … Continue reading →

Rachael at Badbury Rings

Posted on June 27, 2011 by

  Completely unplanned and unexpected… I found myself with half a day in Poole with nothing to do and so I put out a call to see who was around. I’d never worked with Rachael before and had no idea … Continue reading →

Emma Black

Posted on May 2, 2011 by

  This shoot took place in a motel in Basingstoke at the end of April. I wanted to put Emma’s great look into a situation that looked somehow unexpected, and so I surrounded her with gadgets and turned her into … Continue reading →

Tina Kay – Contrasts

Posted on December 17, 2010 by

  The idea behind this sequence was to take a glamorous model and contrast her with a less than glamorous backdrop, such as this motel room in Basingstoke. It is about contrast, and how we can still be what we … Continue reading →

Lenina Grimm

Posted on July 19, 2010 by

  Lenina (or Violet – she uses both) was one of the most relaxed models I have ever worked with on a shoot like this.  Comfortable in her own skin and comfortable in the environment she was a joy to … Continue reading →

Layla – Waterfall and old summerhouse

Posted on May 27, 2010 by

  Photographing nudes in studios is one thing, but to really see the contrast of the model with the surroundings I much prefer to work outside or in broken down buildings. This can present its own challenges, particularly in the … Continue reading →

Autumn in Paris

Posted on December 1, 2009 by

  These were taken on a trip to Paris in October 2009. No particular aim in mind I have to say, but I think they came out pretty well.

Iryna

Posted on September 7, 2008 by

  This was a shoot that almost never happened, as I got stuck in a five-hour tailback on the motorway on the way there. I eventually arrived, hot (it was baking that day), sunburned (I had the roof down), and … Continue reading →
