I went out this weekend to take some images inside a nightclub for college as my current module has night and gig photography sections to it. This was the first time I have ever shot inside a club as it is not really the norm to lug a DSLR around with you in a nightclub but I was lucky enough to get permission from one … Continue reading Nightclub Photography.
At college we did a workshop in seeing in black and white. Black and white photography or monochrome as it is also called, is how photographs were taken before colour was introduced. The photographers of the time probably had to pre-visuize what they were shooting. They would probably realise that colours like yellow or light pink will show up more like a shade of white … Continue reading Workshop: Seeing in black and white.
So, where have I been? well actually I have had a very stressful two weeks with moving from my house into the one bedroom flat. The first week was full of empty promises from the new landlord about getting my boiler fixed as I received the keys with a faulty boiler so I was back and fourth from my house to the flat to stay … Continue reading Photography Show.

Again lighting is key to achieving desired results although one highly important factor in successful food photography for clients is the composition and how the food looks, it needs to look good enough to eat! When positioning the food you need to make sure it looks … Continue reading Food Photography

Just a quick one, I’ve noticed my Birmingham images are on the wall at the college. This makes me feel good,as I’ve not had any of my work on display for a very long time. Frames always make your work look better in some way and this is encouraging me to get out more and produce more images. Maybe I can blow up an image … Continue reading Birmingham Project
At College we did some pinhole photography, basically it’s a lightproof box that has literally a pin sized hole in the front and you load the box with photographic paper so that the sensitive side is facing the hole. The box works just like a camera except without a lens on. The small hole results in a large f number meaning the aperture is very … Continue reading Pinhole camera.
