Portrait Photography
Scrapyard Fashion Shoot
Personal shoots are highly important for us photographers to do. It fires up the creative juices and pushes us out of our comfort zone. This was a million miles out of my zone! The location, the styling and the use of off camera flash. I have a new set of Bowens pulsar radio triggers that I wanted to test out....
Newborn Shoot
Newborn baby shoot with the Kitson family. Little baby Joah was a good boy overall and we got some lovely shots of him on his own as well as a family portrait of all three taken at the parent's home. Newborn photo shoots have to be done within the first 10 days for best results. That is when you get...
Fashion Workshop
I attended my first studio lighting Fashion Workshop with PAUL WHITE who also shoots wedding and portraits. He provided a wealth of knowledge with regards to Fashion lighting and posing. What softboxes to use, how far away the subject should placed away from the background in order to achieve either a darker or lighter background. This background was in fact...
Clara B
A buzz, that's what I got when shooting Clara B. I had sense of excitement welling up inside that I just can't really explain. It's like something really clicked. Don't get me wrong, I loved shooting with each and every one of the fabulous models down in Bristol, but this was special. She is a complete natural in front of...
Nathalieh
Movement. I just LOVE movement in my photographs. I think this stems from doing high end fashion retouching as often times those sorts of images have an element of movement in them. My collection of Vogue's which I keep for tear sheets of my retouching work, help as a great reference for inspiration. I remember during a shoot last year...
Sara Friar
Sara Friar is a very talented body painting artist and helped out on the day with the other model's make-up as well as stepping up to the proverbial plate and modeling herself. This is another of Craig's model's from the The Photography Parlour get together in Bristol. I just can't believe how well it worked out that the groups we...
Silvi
It's the morning of The Photography Parlour Get Together and Rosie begins to draw the names out of the hat for each group, those who wanted to be in the same group as partners or friends had put both names on one piece of paper. Craig's name was called first and when Rosie asked "Are you sure you don't want...
Miss Cherry Delight
Craig: Meeting up with fellow photographers for a days shoot certainly has its fair share of apprehension. We leave ourselves open to scrutiny as we expose the soft underbelly of our own insecurities. We unwittingly build up an air of expectations for ourselves and from our peers with unnecessary pressure. The Photography Parlour G2G organised by Rosie Parsons was overwhelmingly generous. It did...
Siobhan Marie
The first of the model portfolio shots I am going to share is with the lovely Siobhan Marie. This was my second group of the day at The Photography Parlour meet up in Bristol. We headed out and found some interesting, modern areas to use as a backdrop not far from the Floating Harbour. We took turns in directing the...
Baby Photography in Surrey {baby Joe}
Penny contacted me after Claire had emailed baby Madison's photo shoot to her baby group in Woking, Surrey. She loved the documentary "at home" style of baby photography and wanted the same thing for baby Joe. He was a really good boy through the 2 hours I spent at their house and I think that letting baby be at home...
Family Photography in Brighton / Henfield {Roworth Family}
Last week I went down to Brighton and Hove area to photograph little Ashtyn and her parents Aiden & Ginette. Ashtyn recently turned two and is just so full of life and talkative! When I asked Ginette about Ashtyn as she is now, this is what she said "What I love the most about her is her happy personality –...
Baby’s Got Blue Eyes {Lambourne Family}
On Monday I made my way over to the Lambourne Family home in Woking Surrey to do a family photo shoot. The concept behind my family shoots is to do documentary style photographs in your own home. Baby Madison turned six months on the day I was there for the shoot and she was as good as gold. A really...
One Expressive Baby {Kearney Family}
Although we mainly shoot weddings we do love to shoot baby, child and family portraits. My mantra for these is to try to capture the essence of of the family in there own home. Real moments, real emotions - just the way you would want to remember your baby at this age. Fiona contacted me a while back about baby...
