A Room with a View of one of my Framed Portraits!!

I love getting the chance to see the work I sell actually hanging on someone's wall. And last week I had that chance. It was after seeing them for their second visit with us that I mentioned I'd love to see it. So I was invited to come over and I'm so glad. I think it looks wonderful on their wall and fits perfectly into their home. Amazingly, this portrait is actually one of our extra large framed prints which many people find just that bit too large. Here though I couldn't imagine anything any smaller as it would simply be lost in that fab brick wall.

I just loved their home. Its perfect as far as I'm concerned and just the sort of thing I would love if I could design my own home. Its so unusual and spacious and clutter free, not to mention a great space for entertaining. And I've only shown a fraction of this living space.

Something I'd like to point out here is the fact that this framed portrait shows little, if any reflections in the glass. This is not something I Photoshopped out. All our wall products come with low reflection glass as standard. This won't remove all reflections but significantly reduces most making your portraits much more attractive and easier to view, even in very bright spaces where reflections would be highly distracting if normal picture glass were to be used.

Also notice the pool table in the middle with that fabulous collage of family photos. My client had a little giggle at the thought of me coming over and seeing my professional work against her own work and kind of apologised for it in advance as to warn me before I arrived. But I found it to be amazing and so nice to see that someone has actually made good use of printed photographs. This collection of photographs took them ages to strategically build, ensuring that all their friends and family were included. Its about time more people started doing the same. Too many people keep their images hidden away on hard drives, mobile phones, iPads, etc, hardly ever to be seen and with the distinct possibility of being lost forever due to hardware failures.

If you are someone who never prints an image let this be an inspiration to you. Use this summer to create something yourself. And if you do, I'd love to see it. Post a picture on my Facebook page so I can share it for others as inspiration too!

My Work Experience Week by Hester Sharpe

A week in the life of a Photographers assistant, is not all about saying cheese! I’m Hester Sharpe, currently at JCC but took a week out of normal school life on work experience to be a photographer’s assistant and learn the bits behind the camera, photograph and the process to get to the end result. During my week of work experience in photography I have learnt that there is a lot more than just taking the pictures and printing them. The steps in between are the key to getting the perfect photo. For example the photos have to be cropped, tweaked, edited, colour corrected. That is just a taste I have had in the processing of the photos and there is a lot more than just those things. Those processes are the most time consuming part of the photograph and a tremendous amount of detail is put in to the picture but all the hours spent are paid off with the end result; a perfect picture. It isn’t just how the picture looks; presentation is a key to photography too. Selecting the best ...

Wedding Workshop in Nottingham

On Wednesday of this week I made the trek up to Nottingham (which wasn't actually much of a trek compared to most of the other delegates who travelled from as far as Glasgow, Portsmouth and South Wales) for a workshop held at Crash Taylor's home. Crash, a very talented photographer, specialising in weddings is someone I can highly recommend to anyone. Apart from spending the morning getting to know the other photographers we then spent the afternoon photographing a hired model, in her own wedding dress, as we wandered through Nottingham Castle. It provided me a chance to see how other photographers handled their weddings as well as a chance to experiment with equipment I haven't had a chance to play around with. Like in this image to the right. Here I used my flash, mounted on a tripod off to the side. This allowed me to achieve studio quality lighting out of the studio, a technique I will be using in my environmental portraiture. I can't seem to make up my mind on whi...

I Shot My First Wedding

I finally did it, my first wedding. After years of saying I would never do a wedding I finally decided to have a go. I don't know what convinced me. Maybe it was the thought that if I did one I could say with authority that I don't do weddings. My husband had been on my back for ages trying to get me to give one a go. For me I would have to say that the most difficult aspect of wedding photography is the pressure and stress caused by the importance of the day. I worried about this since the day Dawn emailed me to say they had decided they wanted to book me. I hadn't expected to get this wedding given that I had no samples to show them. And I certainly didn't give them a hard sell as I still wasn't convinced that this was something I wanted to do. I kind of figured that if I got this wedding, with no samples and no experience then it was meant to be. Well I have samples now. In the weeks prior to the wedding I read and I read and I read. I read books, magazines and ...

More Newborn Baby Portraits

This time we worked with a more alert baby, even though she was within the 2 weeks we recommend for newborn sessions. But to be honest, I do like getting a selection of both. Its nice to get the chance to see their eyes as well as those beautifully peaceful sleeping portraits. Making eye contact is just difficult and smiles are nearly impossible, which are only wind related if we managed them at all anyway. I always try to get a few detail shots in order to capture their tiny little fingers and toes. These can be quite difficult with an awake baby as they move so much and I need to rely on autofocus to make sure these details are in focus and with such a narrow depth of field this can be difficult. And rather than just a hand or a foot I like to get some of baby's face in the shot as well which poses another problem with an awake baby, they just don't stay still for very long so their hands and feet aren't always in the right place....

I am Still Me: A Story about a Transgender Boy

Meet Leo. Leo is 15 and currently going through an epic transformation that has momentarily turned the lives of himself and those around him upside down. A mum who once had the daughter she always longed for is now coping with the realisation that she will be living the rest of her life with a son instead. When your child is born you have certain expectations of the typical life they will lead but most of us know and accept that it won't necessarily end up the way we imagine. Not every person wants to marry, have kids or be involved with the opposite sex. Most of us have come to accept this and can adjust to whatever comes our way relatively easily. But few of us have expected to have to deal with a change in sex. Its not that we've hoped it won't happen, but just that it never occurred to us that it might. This is a new adjustment that we as a society are being presented with today, just like so many others that have come before. When I first heard that Phoebe ...
