Photoshoot with Lauren
I’d just received a free sample pack from Lee Filters (simply email them and ask for one) – there are 300 different coloured filters, and they’re perfectly-sized to fit over a flash. I tried a few lighting set-ups, either adding a bit of green/blue light as a secondary light, or using blue to light just the background, leaving the model in silhouette. Some almost NSFW photos from the shoot are in the next post…
Footlights Pantomime
After backstage photos of yesterday’s dress rehearsal, here are photos of the ADC/Footlights pantomime, “Theseus and the Minotaur”.

Acting Headshots @ Arts Ed (Part 2)
My headshot session last week at Arts Ed drama school in London proved popular, so I had another 5 students lined up for photoshoot sessions, thanks again to Hayley. Here are three of the best headshots from the afternoon.
Corporate Headshots
One of my larger clients, Adder technology, employed my photographic services, in addition to my web design services, to take corporate headshots of the management team. Each CxO posed for a formal portrait, and a relaxed photo sitting at a table.

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…
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.
Modelling portfolio for Megan
Megan, whom I’ve photographed before, had a casting with a modelling agency, so wanted some new and full-length photos for her portfolio.
