A couple of weeks ago on a fine Saturday morning I went out on a photo shoot with student photographer, Becca Sidhu. Those of you that follow this blog will know that Becca is doing a photography course and has an interest in fashion photography but also enjoys wedding and portrait photography.
On this occasion Becca had arranged for a couple of her friends Emma and Jade to be our models for the day. The plan was to go out on a walk around Gosfield,
Later on this year I will be photographing the wedding of Gemma and Joe a really nice really cool couple living in Ipswich. In preparation for that and as part of my wedding photography services we recently completed a pre wedding photo shoot. This was a great opportunity for the three of to get to know each other and for them to feel relaxed in my company and more importantly in front of the camera.
I was recently approached by two photography students, Becca and Jake, who wished to improve their photographic skills and experience, particularly in relation to portrait photography. Becca, you may remember from a previous blog, she assisted me a couple of months ago with a wedding at Gosfield Hall.
I invited them around to my home studio, along with Becca’s brother, Elliott where we spent a few hours practicing different lighting, posing and shooting techniques. They both thoroughly enjoyed the session (as did I)
I was recently asked to photograph X Factor runner up Olly Murs’ on a visit to the Brainwave Centre in his home town of Witham in Essex. Olly attended the centre with his agent, Sarah Thomas, and although they were a little late due to traffic problems this did not deter Olly’s enthusiasm to meet and mingle with the children, parents, families friends and staff. He took time to meet and chat to everyone and seemed to take a genuine interest
Last week I photographed baby Ava – May together with her mum Lauren and Dad Aaron, (who, I have to say, were very well behaved).
Ava – May is such a sweet little baby and was a great pleasure to photograph; we even got the odd smile now and then, (or was it just wind?) Lauren bought her a few changes of clothes and this helped to keep the session going and to give some additional variety to the final images.
