Creating & Capturing Life's Precious Moments
I recently had a few ladies from my Food Photography Class who live local come and spend the day in the studio. We all prepared something to shoot and then eat and a variety of props, we also had some flowers too. There were the Chocolate and pear cake, which when cut revealed an entire…

Not really sure this classifies as a full five minutes for regular random, but some days you just have to take what you can get! I had this sweet little pink gerbera leftover from a class and I just caught a few snaps of it, before it was past it’s prime, a little squirt from…

I have something a bit tricky for you this week, yes they are cupcakes, but they are soaps! Look good enough to eat, right? They are from PlanetYum, I have been looking for some for a while. So I don’t have to keep buying (and eating) real cupcakes. This does NOT mean I won’t buy…

I recently ran a light painting workshop, the pears and scales are often a favourite, among the students. I used different pears this time, I also have a new (to me) vintage rolling pin and some new linen. As you can see no two images turn out quite the same, the top one is much…

Something that seems to pop up from time to time in my Light Painting and still life photos is my vintage green vase and dried hydrangea and my Kodak Box Brownie, I adore them both; the colours, the textures so why not put both in the same image? I must admit my poor hydrangea has…

I found these little boxes recently on a shopping trip, or should that be hunting trip lol. They are reclaimed wood from other boxes, old pallets, etc I loved the aged patina, I feel the stencilling is possibly new, but I like that too. I found the rusty love heart (in the top box) at…
