Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I have been working almost exclusively with my Sony 50mm Macro lens of late, I adore it, the images are superb. I decided one very hot day to grab some ordinary household items and have a play…this is a kitchen fork on black Perspex (or Plexiglass) and some natural light. ISO100, F/4.5, 1/60 second. I…

I am adoring the high key B&W of these old school boudoir photos I have been doing of late. The high key seems so soft and flattering, white sheets and backdrop allowing subtle shadows and highlights to blend into the background. I dare my clients to get as bare as they dare! Gemma dared and…

It feels like forever since I did a really big Conceptual project in the Studio. As per usual it started months ago with a single image, this one, and it went from there. Costumes obviously had to be found, great red velvet 1930s style dress and fascinator, pearls and garter for my mysterious women (Of…

I know some people are…
Read MoreAt the tail end of Cee’s Letter B&W Challenge now with W or X, struggling to find X, and in the end just stuck with a few W, -water, windows, walkway and wallabies (which is more of a monotone than a B&W). Which I guess leaves next week with Y and Z…….that could prove interesting…

I found this week’s challenge…….well a challenge. I rarely take pictures of something all of one colour, monotone or monochromatic as it were. I love pops of colour, even if I am working in one tonal range I still usually add in something, Â a little pop to add contrast and depth. So this week’s challenge…
