Re-edit of Graffiti and Meadow shot

The background was a little too distracting in yesterday's shot - here I've darkened it and lightened Kayleigh slightly:

Here's a different scene from the same shoot - this time taken at a distance with a longer lens - still lit with two off-camera flashguns - one in front of Kayleigh and the other behind - both to camera left.

Kayleigh Graffiti and behind-the-scenes

Had a great shoot with Kayleigh this evening. The theme was urban / graffiti and I lit the shot with two off-camera 580EXII's, both fired with Hahnel Tuff TTL triggers. I used a lastolite Softbox for the key light and bare flash for the hair light.

Ann and Kev

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Ann and Kev today - all a little last minute as their original photographer was unable to attend!

For enquiries on booking me for weddings, please contact Pho2u.

This was shot with the Canon 135L f/2 wide open to give good separation from the background. I added a slight vignette in LR.

Twins with a single model!

This shot took some planning! First the shot, next the explanation!

Helen and I ventured out onto her roof in London at sunset. I placed the Canon 1DsIII and 50mm  f/1.2 on a tripod, focussed it and set it to f/2.0. A flash gun was off camera on a stand to the right of the shooting position.

Firstly Helen sat on the right hand side of the roof with a red wig on. Then, while she changed, I took a series of shots of the background to blend into an HDR.

Helen then posed on the left.

I merged three shots to an HDR for the background, blended in the two Helens and finally added some of the original sunset back in to enrich the sky!

Rooftop Helen, thoughtful at sunset

Had a fun shoot with Helen tonight - started off with some shots on the roof at sunset. There was a several storey drop just to the right of the picture!

Helen was lit with an off-camera bare flash to camera right.

Water's edge take two

I've decided I'm not keen on the pose for yesterday's shot....here is another from the series that I think is better.

A dreamy Sarah Jemimah

I took this wide open on the 50mm f/1.2 to get a dreamy and diffuse background. A little tweaking with Color Efex further enhanced the effect!

A shot from Friday's shoot.

 

Wide open on the Canon 50mm f/1.2L to give a very thin depth of field . De-saturated the greens and added a vignette.
