Sarah + Sean’s Engagement Shoot

What a great couple Sarah and Sean are – full of fun, jokes and love for one another.  I had a great time wandering around Ringwood Hall with them the other week.  Not long until their wedding now!

Giles + Jess’s Engagement Shoot

After Sunday’s Sneak Peek, I’ve been a very busy boy with albums to design and far too many photos to edit!

Included in those photos are the ones taken on Sunday of Giles and Jess at Ringwood Hall Hotel. I had a great time doing the photos and I hope Giles and Jess did too. They were so relaxed in front of the camera and very obviously besotted with one another – which is quite handy really as they’re getting married soon!

As always, you can let me know what you think of the photos by clicking here.

Pants On Fire

No, it’s not the new track by Kings Of Leon, it refers to me being a big, fat liar.

The Blogpost I made on Saturday (You Don’t Take A Photograph) talked of taking the flash off the camera to create interesting and cool lighting. In effect, making a photo rather than taking it.

In the post I gave these two photos as examples of photos taken with off-camera flash.

A few people have been asking for a bit more information about the photos, such as what the flash settings were and if flash modifiers were used. I have to make a full and frank confession:

Only one of the photos used flash. The other used 100% natural lighting.

I’m not going to tell you which is which (try and figure it out for yourself) but it just goes to show that while you can spend literally hundreds upon thousands of pounds on equipment to provide you with more light, shouldn’t you just start by looking for better light in the first place?
