Hayley, one of the Cambridge students I’d photographed a few times, is doing a Masters at Arts Ed drama school in London. She recommended my headshot photography to her class, and arranged for me to take 5 students’ headshots on Saturday afternoon.
Autumn Changes
Autumn Colours
Red vs Green
The back of the New Court building in St. John’s is covered in vines. From spring to summer, they’re a verdant green, and towards autumn, they turn red before falling. I managed to get photographs of the leaves when green, and then again when red (a week before they fell), and noticed that I had photos of the same windows before and after the colours changed.
Acting Headshots for Hayley II
Hayley graduated last year, and is now in Drama School in London. She came back up to Cambridge for the weekend, and asked me to take some updated headshot photos to help her sign with an agent.
This time I was reminded of Claudia Schiffer…
Red Leaves
Playing with Light 2
Continuing on from the camping trip photos, here are some more long exposure photos with multiple flash pops, and light trails.
Acting Headshot for Lizzy
Lizzy graduated from Cambridge in 2001, has worked and travelled since then, and is now returning to drama school in London to continue the acting that she pursued during her time as an undergraduate.
Playing with Light
While most of Britain was suffering torrential rain and floods, my friends and I were enjoying fine weather on the Norfolk coast for a weekend camping trip. While sitting round the camp-fire, someone brought out sparklers, which naturally led to people drawing and writing in the dark. I started taking long-exposure photos of these drawings, and then remembered a Strobist blog article, about firing the flash remotely from several locations in one long exposure. The results are shown below.
Dirty Dancing
On a trip to the Norfolk Coast with the Cambridge University Rock’n’Roll Team, a couple showed off one of the more popular acrobatic moves, Dirty Dancing; however, the appearance of the wave wasn’t quite expected.
