Playing with Light

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...

Cambridge Photowalk

Cambridge Photowalk

I took part in Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk, which saw 7,500 photographers in 230 locations around the world go out together and take photos of their home cities. As I’ve lived in Cambridge for a long time, and photographed many of the buildings and scenes, I decided to start on a project that has been long overdue – creating a “Colour &...

London Red Bull Air Race

London Red Bull Air Race

A friend hosted a party the night before the Red Bull Air Race, and his apartment in London’s Docklands had a fantastic view over the race course the next morning. You wouldn’t have seen images of aeroplanes flying low and fast over central London a few years...

Taking my photos to the next level

Taking my photos to the next level

I’ve seen some really impressive design work applied to fashion photos, so was inspired to have a go with some of my own photos. For some reason, I chose to undertake my first “respray” at 1am, and finished (or called it a night) at dawn. I can see elements in the image which are great, and some things which I should improve on next time, but it’s not bad...

BA Graduation Dinner Celebrations

BA Graduation Dinner Celebrations

Friends celebrating after their BA graduation dinner. Of interest photographically because I handheld the flashgun off-camera, which allowed for great variation in lighting.

Photoshoot with Greg (Mr Darcy)

Photoshoot with Greg (Mr Darcy)

Yet another photoshoot, taking advantage of the glorious weather. Unfortunately this one had been postponed a couple of times, and the weather has started to get a bit cloudier and colder. Breaking from my usual photoshoot habit, I thought I’d photograph a male model, partly so that I don’t focus solely on photographing beautiful women. I first met Greg at a formal...

Photoshoot with Rebecca (Meadows)

Photoshoot with Rebecca (Meadows)

I’ve been taking advantage of the glorious weather, and have been doing more photoshoots with my muses (5 this week). This is my third photoshoot with Rebecca (see photos from the first photoshoot, and of her acting headshots). The meadows on Lammas Land and Castle Mound were covered in Cow Parsley, which made for similar photos to the first shoot, but pretty much every photo...
