London Fashion Weekend 2015
A fun day out (with the camera of course) at a catwalk show in London's Kings Road at the Saatchi Gallery previewing the Autumn/Winter 2015 trends.
The must wear are shades of Marsala and paprika and interesting elements of punk and goth as well as a 70's theme. Not all at once!
Interesting day seeing the professional models at work and how all the styling comes together to make great photos. Hair, make up and styling, always an important part of any photo shoot.
Engagement: Julie & Mike
A lovely morning with Julie & Mike.
We were originally planning for the afternoon but the weather forecasts were not looking too good. So after a quick check with the couple and we changed it to the morning. This proved a very smart move since the heavens opened up not long after we had finished.
Whilst we will always try to avoid the midday sun, this session was a good example of how flexible we can be and how much we love a challenge against harsh sunlight.
Engagement: Jem & Steven
A lovely afternoon with Jem & Steven
We managed to find a lovely location close to the couple. Whilst we didn't have as much time as we wanted, due to the place closing, we did have a plan B and managed to get all the images we wanted.
Dismaland by night
Last night we visited Banksy's Dismaland in Weston-Super-Mare for the second time, this time at night to take some photos of the greatly illuminated art work against the stunning seaside sunset. Amazing place and great creativity for inspiration.
Julie & Mike
On Saturday we met with the lovely Julie & Mike prior to their September wedding. We spend some time getting to know them better and going through their big day's events and planning. We took Julie & Mike for a photo shoot locally to the couple to make them feel more comfortable in front of the camera and to give some posing tips. This is great practice for the wedding day and helps getting to know all those important valuable little details. It was a lovely and very hot day. We are looking forward to the wedding day!
1-2-1 Training with Lee
Lee contacted us to help him with his new Nikon D5300. We dedicated a whole afternoon of 1-2-1 training to Lee and took him through the features of his new camera and how he may use them to best effect.
The images below show you how well he progressed. The first image is an example of how Lee learnt to balance the available light with a little flash light.
- 1/5: Exposing for the model
- 2/5: Exposing for the background
- 3/5: Using straight on flash to light the model
- 4/5: Using flash exposure compensation
- 5/5: Using directional flash to give dimension to the model
The second image was taken by Lee after he was quickly introduced to an example of studio lighting. Considering Lee arrived with limited knowledge of the exposure triangle he did remarkably well to get to this point in such a short period of time.
Would you like some 1-2-1 training? If so then please get in touch. We would love to hear from you.
