Here is a shoot I did with Benedicta last summer in the gorgeous area of Hoxton/Shoreditch which I thought I would share with you.
I love this area of London because it holds so many possibilities - the street art is so amazing and changes all the time. As a photographer it's like your very own blank canvas.
All images was shot using just available light....
Since upgrading my iphone to the 4S I've been amazed by it's camera, previously using the iphone 3G for years I couldn't believe the difference in the quality of the camera. I've seen people on facebook and twitter posting images using the instagram iphone app and up until now I haven't gotten involved - but today was the turning point.
I absolutely loved the results it produced and now I'm REALLY hooked, it's brought a whole new vibe to my fun day to day photography I really can't wait to explore it's possibilities....
I am now planning on shooting some location portraits, using just my iphone to shoot and edit on this will really push me creatively especially with the use of light.
In the meantime here is the instagram edited iphoneography images I took today, I hope you enjoy .....
A couple of weeks ago being the hardcore people we are we planned a little shoot around the Embankment/Southbank area of London. It maybe wasn't the greatest idea to shoot next to the River Thames as the wind chill factor was really and I mean REALLY cold.... I think it took a couple of days just for my hands to thaw out and warm back up...
Besides from the cold and grim weather on the day we had a great laugh and managed to capture a lot of images that I love, below is a selection of images from the shoot (thank god for that warmish stairwell), I hope you enjoy the results....
All images were shot with either available light or daylight balanced video lights with occasional use of a nikon speedlight for some back lighting.
Ps... big thanks to Anastasia for braving the weather...
PPs... big thanks to ME for not moaning much...
Again another one of my favourite shoots having a 2012 make over. I absolute love how this has turned out, the shoot took place along London's Southbank - a great area to photograph.
You may recognise image 13 as I used this previously as my journal header.
I'll let the images speak for themselves, I hope you enjoy them.
As I mentioned previously I've been going through some of my old shoots and re-editing them to co-inside with my latest post processing techniques.
This shoot is approx 3 to 4 years old and it was the first time I had ever shot lingerie, it shot at home back in the day before I owned the Lastolite Hi-lite background. I ended up using a white cloth background in the dining room held together with cloth pegs to capture the "studio" style shots.
I've never been that keen on shooting in a studio environment there's just something about location shooting that I love and the challenges it can bring. The outdoor shots were all taken in the woods near my house, we found this great tree trunk that had been cut down and decided to use it as the prop (as you can see :).
Looking back now I wish I had taken more variations of this location but I remember at the time I was so concentrating on the lighting that I just got carried away....
I have never used any of these images until today they have sat gathering dust on my harddrives, that's the thing with digital photography if your not careful images just get lost on drives.
Anyway I really hope you enjoy viewing them. All shots were lit using nikon speedlights shot through umbrellas and a ezybox softbox, daylight and captured on my nikon D200 camera....
