One day I'll get into this blogging thing, but the truth is I've just been so busy and the thought of spending even more time in front of a keyboard............yet now the frost has arrived it's actually quite pleasant cuddling up to my computer with a hot cocoa.
I've had a varied & entertaining run up to the festive season - here's a selection of photographic moments.
...a family portrait,
believe it or not taken in their lounge.
Must admit to touch of
digital manipulation here, but it just shows what is achievable - I used a white backdrop with a white floor and tidied it up on Photoshop...
..Katy & Harry have a picturesque wedding in Edale, Derbyshire...
This is when digital photography really comes into it's own.
Where did those confetti throwers go?
A4e, a recruitment agency in Sheffield, needed quirky images for a national business competition
We used the Volkswagen Camper in their reception area!
...This is Marianne, a budding actress,who asked me to take
headshots for a professional
directory.
She needed shots with & without make up.
I was cheaper
than her usual headshot photographer - she was very happy with the results...
...This was taken at a wedding at Hardwick Hall last month.
They're friends and I continued a long standing tradition of "totem pole" pictures.
I did a similar shot five years ago when I photographed the wedding of the girl in the middle. The bride at the bottom and the girl at the top were her bridesmaids.
I'm often recommended by my clients - it's a good feeling!...
...As you've seen, I'm game for a laugh and at this wedding in West Yorkshire my keen eye spotted a slight commotion amongst the guests.
A group of girls proceeded to undress this very sporting fellow, to reveal what I believe is his mankini.
Of course the whole thing was set up and luckily I was in the right spot...
...In the studio I spent a morning working on promotional shots with a guitar man.
He doesn't play professionally, but specialises in hand building bespoke left handed guitars.
If you need a fantastically crafted left handed guitar, let me know...
...Hopefully this picture will be my claim to fame!
My subject is auditioning for a part in the next film in the Twilight series.
I did suggest she wear a set of fangs, but on reflection I think she'll make a perfect vampire with or without the teeth.
Watch this space!
...And finally a simple composition from a wedding at Risley Hall on 6th November.
The bride had put an immense amount of thought into her autumnal wedding day.
I love how her unusual dress compliments the surroundings.
Even her red hair fits perfectly...
...Well that's it for now, hopefully I won't leave it as long to my next blog.
