The Spanish Web

In the run up to christmas I had the pleasure of meeting Justine, she is a professional circus dancer and  performer and her skills were showcased at a series of events I was working at. Her performances included silks and spanish web, both are arial acts one using silks, the other rope. I shot this selection over a number of evenings, would love to know your thoughts!

The Final Whistle . . .

I have been shooting for Seriez magazine for a few weeks now, its been great getting to know the clubs and feature regularly in the newsletter, unfortunately last weeks was the final edition so here is a selection of some of my best shots.

COYW!

Last week I had the opportunity to shoot Worcester Warriors European League clash against French team Perpignan, it was cold and tipping down with rain but Worcester won 22-21.

I hired a 400mm f2.8 lens for the match - amazing though takes some getting used to! Juggling this beast of a lens and a second shorter one in the rain was fun, so not as many arty shots as I would have liked though am still pretty happy with the results.

Something out of Nothing

The last few weeks have been pretty busy but (at last!) heres a new post and some new images... 

A week or so ago we did a location shoot around our City North campus, utilising the sofas in the foyer area and an unobvious blue wall, both of which I wouldn't of considered worthy of a photo shoot, or at least not one that looked like this.

We used a few off-camera flashguns and a small softbox, and had Zara our fantastic model. Although fashion photography isn't really my thing I really enjoyed the shoot and will definitely be trying out some of the ways we worked again... 1, get studio look lighting from a flashgun (its obvious when you think about it!) and 2, make the most of a location! 

training session - Worcester Warriors

On friday last week, I got the chance to go up to Sixways, home of the Worcester Warriors to photograph their training session. The top one is my favourite, I am challenging myself when I shoot by making sure it is creative, but I couldn't resist a few action shots too!

Anyone for Tennis?

Earlier this week I had the chance to photograph a new friend of mine, Paolo, who is a keen tennis player. I decided to use this opportunity to use the studio and try and recreate some of the lighting we used for the SINderellea shoot. What do you think of my first sporting studio shoot!?
