As a wedding photographer it’s fair to say that I’ve photographed my fair share of rings. At each and every wedding I try and do something different with them, mostly to challenge myself more than anything.
Each time I try something different either with the lighting or something simple like the position I place then in.
There’s a lot on context associated with wedding rings so…
Last week I had a rather long conversation with a recent graduate from my old University. Although I knew that the call was going to end with “can you give us money” the conversation was actually very…..conversational. The student in question did seem genuinely interested in receiving advice about forging out a career path. One of the questions she asked was in the last 13 years…
I guess you could regard this as a form of street photography but really it’s positioning yourself in one spot and watching the world go by.
The great British weather might be somewhat unpredictable but at least we have had a few days of lovely summery weather already this year.
For this challenge find somewhere which is a good people watching spot, a park bench or outside a cafe.
Enjoy a…
If you didn’t know already our photography studio is situated inside award winning softplay centre Eddie Catz Wimbledon. For the past few years before we opened the studio we had a good working relationship with the owners Maria and Darren which certainly made the transition to a landlord / tenant relationship that much easier.
We help each other out, share ideas and offer advice.
From time…
Technically speaking what we’re photographing in this challenge are shades of light grey as white is really the existence of nothing in digital photography terms.
Photographing any subject that is the same colour as the background is tricky at the best of times but the problem with white is that it’s very reflective so it’ll confuse the heck out of your camera sensor.
The best…
Last week we attended our very first NCT class at the Gooseberry Bush in Wimbledon. The evening was more of an open Q&A session with a smattering of meet and greet but there was some good solid information to get us started. The most surprising thing I learnt was that John Lewis do a nursery tour which somehow completely passed me by!
At the beginning of the session we all divided into boys…
A couple of months back we hosted a crazy faces competition at Eddie Catz Wimbledon during half term. Whilst people were coming into the play centre the kids had a chance to pull crazy faces at the camera to be in with a chance of winning some prizes. The response was great and the children loved it.
This challenge is all about having fun with your children but also about lighting too and it can…
As a long suffering England fan this might seem to strange statement to make, after all we’ll probably not make it past the group stages because it’s too hot or someone broke their metatarsal.
But what would happen if that impossible dream came true and England made it to their first World Cup final in 48 years?
I tell you what would happen to me, I’ll be in a hospital whilst my…
I’m not sure what colour golden brown is but I’ve heard it has a texture like sun. The Stranglers have their own idea of what golden brown is but I prefer to think in more romanticized ways.
I’ll leave this challenge up to your interpretation.
Drugs are bad kids, except tea, maybe coffee and perhaps even an occasional glass of Chablis.
This weekly photo challenge is designed…
Apparently my unborn child already has many demands that she needs me to fulfil. Thankfully Emma has the ability to translate biological signals into clear and concise instructions that I need to follow.
So far baby needs me to do the following:Baby really needs me to do the washing up.
Baby needs me to move the sofa.
Baby would like me to bake a cake, now.
Baby needs me to go and get a strawberry…
