She left me today,

I first met Dee Dee last August. It began with an email offering to to do a shoot for the company she is with. They're called ShinyTrinket and you can see the photography I've done for them on their site . As well as rings, earrings, and bracelets, there were some necklaces that would show off better if they were modeled. So we all agreed that Dee Dee would come over for the shoot and be the model. Dee Dee doesn't travel very well and she was in pieces when she arrived at the studio. However, it didn't take long for all of us to help to get her pulled together again and ready to model for us. The shoot went really well and  Dee Dee was the perfect model. When we were done, there were some circumstances in play and I said it would be fine for Dee Dee to stay with me for a couple of days before going back to the people at ShinyTrinket . It was very easy to have her as a house guest and she never once tired of modeling for me whenever I wanted to try out any lighti...

Air BnB Campaign Shoot in Kent, UK

After spending the night in London, we traveled down to Kent to shoot a series of scenes. The film crew would capture footage for the film and I would get the still shots for the media campaigns. It was a fresh and beautifully sunny day as we arrived for lunch at The Bull . After a hearty pub lunch it was time to continue with work. The location was a beautifully converted windmill and we would be working with a child and with an animal. For this shoot you can disregard all the sayings about working with children and animals. This all went well and I would happily work again with the girl and the cat talent anytime. The cat was up first and with the help of the cat wrangler, we were able to get a whole range of usable poses for the kitchen window shot. As the day moved on we shot a few other sets within the windmill including bathroom scenes and other window shots.  Every room and corner in this fabulous conversion would have easily lent itself to beautiful s...

Put a polarizer on the front of your lens

-

You've experienced the enhanced view of the world about you when you pop on your good quality sunglasses on brighter days. The extra contrast, definition, and colour resolution that keeps everything you see looking clear and three dimensional. The effect that a polarizing filter adds to your photos is one that isn't easily, if at all, achievable using post processing software. Because what your polarizer is doing for you is filtering out the effect of light reflecting back from the surfaces it hits. In turn you get more saturated colours and if required, bluer skies. I'm using a Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL) on my DSLR for these examples. In this example above, the sun is behind me and slightly to my right. Without making any colour tweaks to my files this is what I got using the same settings. The only difference is that I overexposed by 2 stops for the polarized shot to take into account the darkness of my filter. Most of the dark reflections in the water hav...
