Shape, Form and Texture in Product Photography
This was photographed as part of a product portfolio for an equestrian equipment supplier, Saddles Direct in Burnley.
Let There be Light!
This was a very simple, but effective setup. The image was taken quite late in the evening and in darkness. All light is provided by off-camera flash, and the downside was having to setup by touch in the dark. We had a solitary LED torch, which helped, but it took a great deal longer to setup than I would have preferred.
Model Portfolio Photography
Model portfolio shoots are often daunting for both the model and the photographer. Often, it’s the first shoot for a model wanting to start a new portfolio. For the photographer, it can be a lot of work building the relationship and helping the model find their feet and feel comfortable.
Food Photography
All my food photography is client driven. Whether that’s restaurants, hotels, recipe books or Getty Images, the brief and styling is usually someone else’s decision.
Team Mini – Lloyd Motor Group South Lakes
I spent the early part of 2015 running around the Lake district and Cumbria in general. This was for Lloyd Motor Group, creating headshots, dealership interiors and exteriors, along with team shots etc. However, Cumbria being the black hole of connectivity that it is, this tutorial is somewhat late, and I apologise for that. I forgot!
Bridal Rain Portrait
This image was taken at a wedding on the 14th November 2015, and the weather was particularly foul.
Meet The Team
This was part of a series of team shots for a BMW Mini dealership.
Lighting The Bat
First things first. I very rarely get to shoot anything purely for myself. Everything tends to be client driven. This shoot, however, was organised by one of my crew, Wayne Myers, and I think it was basically to stop me being so grumpy. Well, for a few hours at least!
Review – Strobius StrobiStrip
Arriving in a tightly packed box, I had two identical, nylon cylindrical cases. One contained a 50cm Strobius StrobiStrip, whilst the second contained a 100cm model.
Recreating Window Light
This was from a lighting course I ran a little while ago. The intention is to recreate a window light and infer a little drama.
