Portraiture
Family photoshoot in Rosyth with the Murphy family The lovely Murphy family commissioned me to do a photoshoot for family portrait photographs. The family photoshoot went wonderfully, with everyone having fun and lots of giggles. Being able to share joy with a family in this way is one of the privileges of doing family photography. [...]
Model photography with a difference The difference on this shoot was that it was being videoed. With thanks to Richy McAllister for filming the shoot and putting together a video of it. I shot Becky in an abandoned (visitor-safe) church on the outskirts of Dalgety Bay. This was a fun shoot to get something different [...]
Meeting today with photographers from up and down Scotland on an event I organise semi-regularly for photographers to network and just geek about photography. Today I invited Jai and Becky to come along for the shooting side of things and they did a cracking job of posing and made a lovely looking couple for the [...]
Jai is a new model and can be found on Model Mayhem here: Jai We arranged a shoot to see if we could work together to create story-telling images and these are the results of the first shoot. Included are some shots just for Jai to show off his good looks. The real colours shine [...]
I had the pleasure recently of shooting with lovely Becky, a model local to me. I was wanting to play with some off camera flash in what to me are unusual locations, so we arranged a shoot and headed out. Bear in mind that this was during the day with lots of natural light and [...]
Today I was in Stirling with a group of like-minded photographers on the Central Scotland Meeting Group (CSMG). We had the lovely Shannon as our model for the day, and although freezing cold, she didn’t complain at all and posed well for us all. Thanks Shannon. Onto the images: This was great fun. Being able [...]
I wanted to shoot today and practice some techniques I was very recently taught. I booked professional model Fredau for the session and it was a great pleasure working with her to produce what are, for me, much better images than the past. If you’re wondering whether to book a professional model or to get [...]
Charlotte is a brand new model who contacted me for a shoot last week. We arranged to meet in St Andrews and discussed what we wanted to achieve from the shoot. Friday morning of last week saw me driving up there with camera kit in my bag and lots of ideas buzzing around my head [...]
Met up with some photographers from a networking site today in Leith. A lovely model Fredau came along so we’d have someone more photogenic than ourselves to shoot and more photogenic she definitely was! How lovely she is isn’t in question, the only thing I wonder is if I managed to capture that loveliness in [...]
I’ve been developing a style of extreme exposures with even further extreme editing to make the images really stand out. It’s not entirely finalised and I know it needs more developing (pun intended), but I think it’s getting there. Extreme exposure photography is fun to experiment with. Not a technique I can really use on [...]
Niki is a friend of a friend and was wanting some portraits making. We arranged to meet in Dunfermline and I took her to Aberdour where the backgrounds are great for portrait images. The tide almost caught us out but we got safely back off the beach with just wet feet and headed off elsewhere [...]
I had the great pleasure of shooting some family portraiture of James & Sonja with their family. Everyone had a great time during the shoot and I even managed to get shy Steph to be photographed; not a mean feat by all accounts
