Collette Von Tora again!

As I look through my photographs, Collette‘s face always seems to keep popping up recently, which is hardly surprising considering how much we’ve worked with each other.  A little while ago, Collette contacted me wanting to do some headshots

Things You See While Scouting

Things You See While Scouting

I’ve been out doing some final scouting over a location today for a shoot I have planned tomorrow, and I’d expected to put up a somewhat different blog post to that which I’m about to write.

I live close to the River Lune, and it’s become one of my favourite places to photograph people over the last couple of years.  Along a several mile stretch from my house, there are infinite looks and possibilities.  Today, however, I saw something I was not expecting.

Initially, from a distance, I thought we’d...

Must Find Moss!

Must Find Moss!

Even though we didn’t get the snow we were promised this winter, it’s still rather nippy out, making it difficult to start tackling many of the location shoots I have in mind for this year.  The last couple of days, however, have provided a little bit of a break in the rain that’s seemed to consistently fall from the sky for about the last 6 weeks.  So, we’ve been back out more thoroughly scouting some locations we’d briefly glanced at last year, as well as going out to find some new ones.

Collette Von Tora

I’ve shot with Collette Von Tora a number of times now, and it’s always an absolute pleasure to do so.  It turns out that Collette shaved her head (I know!) at the beginning of November during filming for a music video, so I decided to take advantage of it quick before she decided to grow it back.

As soon as I saw the

Lancaster Photographic Society Flash Portrait Workshop

Lancaster Photographic Society Flash Portrait Workshop

Last week I had the pleasure of teaching a flash portrait workshop to some of the members of Lancaster Photographic Society.

I’ve not done much in the way of teaching in the past, except one-on-one when I’ve had assistants with me on a shoot, never in front of a class of several people simultaneously.  I found that it can be rather distressing,...

Location Scouting for Waterfalls

Location Scouting for Waterfalls

I’m always looking for new portrait locations, but now that the British summer appears to be in full swing, with only 3 or 4 rain filled days per week, I’ve begun searching a little further away from home than I normally shoot. Still not that far away, within a 30-40 minute drive, but something a little different from the locations I’ve been using in the area so far.

Intervalometer Prototype in Development

Intervalometer Prototype in Development

One of my passions is timelapse photography.  Even if you’ve never heard of timelapse before, you’ve probably seen the results on various television shows. Timelapse is the process of taking images at a set interval, and then playing them back at a much faster rate in order to speed up events that happen over a long time.  Ice cubes melting, plants growing, clouds whizzing...

This weekend I have been attending the wonderful, but exhausting, CLA Game Fair at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock near Oxford.  As usual at these events I came home battered and barely able to move.  Several days of being constantly on...
