Lunchtime Portrait Sessions

Well, long time no blog updates! I do have an excuse...I've just started a journalism training course up in Manchester so haven't had much chance to take some photos. However, the last couple of weeks I have trialling a new idea of mine - lunchtime portrait. Basically, I spend 10 minutes doing a shoot in one or two locations, and aim to get at least five good shots from it. I'm hoping it can be something that I can offer as a photographic service in the future, and my fellow course mates have been acting as guinea pigs for me. I've decided to best my favourite ones so far - they were all done in 10 minute shoots, and all the locations are on one street in Manchester. Enjoy.

Please let me know what you think of these shots, and if you'd like to book a lunchtime session then get in touch!

Fashion on the Common

Last Sunday Ellie agreed to help me out by being my model while I tried out some more fashion styled techniques. We got some really cool shots, mainly from Kenilworth Common, and I thought I'd post a few on here.

I was really pleased with the shots from Sunday, and the day was made even better by then watching the Villa win at Everton...happy days!

In case you're interested, the Practical Photography Magazine article about Birmingham Live is in the latest issue (January) on page 14, so go see if you can find a copy! Here's a couple more images from my fashion shoot with Ellie, and stay tuned for plenty of Black Stone Cherry shots.
