Emma and Rob

I have been a little lax in posting recently, this has mainly been due to problems with my wordpress blog that I’ve not had the time to fix until now.. but now I am back, and want to share a wedding I shot last year at Stoodleigh Courtin North Devon. I have to say, this is an amazing venue with so much character and so far my favourite location to shoot a wedding.

Mini Studio on the cheap

I have had a few people asking me about the photos I’ve created recently using my DIY mini studio. Asking me to share the set up so here it is.

I hope you won’t be disappointed with the simplicity and cost effectiveness of this set up. The list of materials required to produce this mini studio is:

1x A1 snow white card (£1.97)

No people to get bored or upset and very little pressure to get it right first time. (more…)

A couple of weeks ago I was complaining to my friend Tipsquirrel of TipSquirrel.com that I hadn’t been out on a personal photoshoot for quite some time. I used to head to the beach and shoot whatever caught my eye, but recently I admit I’ve become a little bit of a lighting snob… (more…)

Cornish Wedding

Last month I was shooting Helen and Finn’s wedding as part of a Claire Sloane Wedding.

Rather than post a huge blog entry, I thought I’d make things a little easier for you (as it is Sunday).. so just sit back, enjoy the view and relax.. (more…)

Last week, I posted a little sneak peak into a martial arts photo shoot I did with Liam. It has been a busy week in between then and now, with work being like buses and all arriving at once.  I love being busy, but I really wanted to get these images edited as the shoot was so much fun.

Liam is a rare breed, (more…)
