Studio v Location

studio v location, still up for debate with me and as im in the lucky position of having my own dedicated studio unlike alot of other photographers i can afford to be unbiased. so this is the experiment over the next few weeks, i am going to be finding the most unprommising locations and making images in them to test the theory ,the above images is taken in a doorway at the bottom of some stairs using available light from the doorway only, Emily my long suffering daughter who gets made to pose in all kinds of wierd places is sitting in the shoe collection there always is in the hallway and the post is behind her just out of shot. Unfortunately she draws the line at brushing her hair so i couldnt get her to do that as well which is a shame....but still this is what she looks like most of the time so its natural i suppose. Studio does allow precise controll of light and especailly with a modern white infinity coved studio like i have theres the option to use props and bright toys and things with the kids, backdrops and all the rest of it or keep it clean and simple producing stylish modern images , on the flip side locations, or clients homes, well theres the argument that people can feel more at ease in their own environment with all their stuff around the place . so i will be putting this to the test and seeing where i come out. so if anyone has seen some rusty guarage doors ,flakey painted doors or a coloured loading bay shutter or a bright painted building, building site or some serious grafiti around the place please let me know so i can go play.

rainbow rose

had some amazing rainbow coloured roses in valentines day flowers this year , they are fab, very cleverly done by a dutch company , so ive been taking some shots of them today , heres what i got, think i will use it for my next advert...coolio

studio in the snow

this is my studio down at the end of my garden (with small person playing snowballs, very dangerous to go down there at the moment, but i will get them back later!!) ,snow was right up level with the doors this morning ,today is supposed to be an admin day but i think i may pretend to not be able to get to work (office is upstairs) and have to have a playday and a nice pub lunch.

thick snow , no working today !!

jan news and new project

not finished yet but this is a painting from a photograph .I like it so much i think i will keep it and put it up here, or maybe give it to tracey for her new extention if she likes it, not finished yet needs alot more work in the details but heres where im at right now

the manic rush to get all the orders out the door before Christmas is now passed and i have been very busy catching up with the paperwork which is still not done and doing the figures to see how much money i have helped to raise this year for my charities and schools,

the running total for Tolworth gym club is now over £3000 and i have delivered a healthy £1700 to Christchurch school for commissions on the sales of school photos

I had the pleasure of photographing the sultan of Brunei last week meeting the sultan and the whole royal party which includes their own television crew and staff photographers as well as security and ladies in waiting. they were all lovely and it was a pleasure and a privilege to be there

I also spent time at the graduation ceremony and was playing with shutter speeds in the weird dark and bright orange London barbican which is really weird building , even the floors are not straight

cant decide, colour or black n white , which do u prefer

also this january was the big society of wedding and portrait photographers conference 6000 shutterbugs in one hotel, interesting! but a chance to catch up with some friends and do a spot of networking.

The studio is filling up nicely with fun appointments over the next few weeks which is great for this time of year and the corporate diary is looking very healthy too, so all around bloody fantastic here at the moment, sorry i keep leaving big gaps between posts , still not got into the habit properly, will try harder this year, laters, luv k
