Zorra

I am one of a lucky few to get my hands on these jumpers made by Zorra a.k.a. @emeraldstarfox so me and Hannah had a walk around Shrewsbury and found this graffiti, so we spent a few minutes shooting on film until we woke up a tramp sleeping just a few yards away. He seemed less surprised than us by this encounter but this is a preview from the shoot. I’ll upload more later (I’v been neglecting the blog)
Taken on a Pentax Spotmatic sp2, super takumar smc 50mm f1.4 most likely on kodak ektar 100.

Whixall

Looks like another continent, strange to think it’s somewhere so close to me and a place I have spent so many hours walking around a few years ago when I lived there. I was a bit worried about the location but things turned out good (as they always do with the team!). Anyway, enough of my ramblings, this is what it turned out.

Farrah

On Sunday I travelled to Solihull to photograph Farrah, it was really good to meet the family (Farrah is sister to Zorra who is going out with my cousin Ben). We had no plans and so just went for a wander around the local area as the sun started to get lower in the sky. I switched my old Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 from my Pentax Spotmatic onto my Nikon D300 and shot into the sun using my hand to block some of the light entering the lens. The old lens may not be optically perfect but I think this adds to the images in a way that newer lenses cannot match. Images are straight out of camera with no editing, shot in RAW then converted to JPEG and uploaded here. Enough rambling—

London again

This slideshow kind of sums up our trip to London. I did my normal trick of carrying my camera around constantly and then not taking any photos with it. Mainly because I was too busy walking around. Can’t complain at being in the capital, cannot wait to live there. Less than a year hopefully!

A couple more as promised, I dont know if I like them as I think they look too strobist and photoshopped when I didnt use any flash, I think I may try changing the opacity on the layers in a few days and see what I think then.

Little red riding hood

timetoshoot — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:24:14 +0000

I spent Sunday on two shoots, we hired Stokesay Castle in Shropshire as the venue and also used the woods nearby at Bucknell. This shot is from the woods and is a sneak preview of what the shoot was like. It doesnt give the game away, The outfit underneath is not your standard red riding hood, this ones got attitude!!
I’m looking forward to editing the rest of these soon, there should be some good ones to play with. Once they’re done I’ll get them up on here.

Chloe & Phil

timetoshoot — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 20:19:01 +0000

Last weekend I was lucky enough to photograph Chloe & Phils big day. All morning it was raining really hard which was worrying as the reception was to be held in a local vineyard with the photos to be taken outside. Luckily for everyone involved the rain held off for all but a few minutes of very light showers and the day turned into a very nice summers evening. I’m slowly working through the pictures, heres just a preview of a few

Driving back from the Stafford College 2011 fashion show on Thursday night and stopped off at this field on the way back. The light was fading quickly so we spent less than 3 minutes there! Just time to take a quick couple pics as the field is quite nice and I didnt want another year to go pass without any shots in a poppy field.

Just an old pic edited

Having a bit of a good time looking back through recent shoots and picking out pictures that I like that didn’t make the cut to send to the client for one reason or the other (mainly that they don’t show the garment off well). I zoomed in and changed to a landscape format during this shoot for just one frame so I had a portrait to give to the models parent. I think I like it.
