Natural Light Photography

As well as taking photos in the studio, I also enjoy natural light photography. Here are some recent photos of the children taken in natural light (i.e. no flash):

C with Peppa Pig

C with a blue fleece backdrop

B looking out the window

And just to prove it’s not all children, here’s some photos of the up-and-coming band The Incisors I took last year in the summer:

Very post-processed image of the band standing on the banks of the Thames

Silhouette of the band

More of The Incisors

Another deliberately over-processed shot of the band

I’m just as happy outdoors as indoors with the studio, and I’m very much looking forward to the summer so there are more opportunities for natural light photography!

Studio away from home!

Last weekend I did my first studio shoot away from the home. My brother Jake allowed me to photograph him at his home north of the river, along with his girlfriend El who never likes having her photo taken so I was shocked when she agreed. I hope she likes them! Even El’s mum volunteered for a few snaps as well. It made a nice change to photograph adults, who do this weird thing of staying where you tell them to, and actually looking at the camera on demand when necessary!

I remembered to pack everything except my softbox which was very annoying. I couldn’t take the full width paper that I bought a few weeks ago (it’s 9 foot!) so it was sawn up a little and I had a 1 metre width instead.

Here’s some of the first half of these photos, mostly starring my brother but some with his girlfriend too (SFW!!):


1. Moody brother


2. Colour


3. With girlfriend and whistle!


4. More Jake and El


5. More Jake and El only in colour!


6. More black and white

    I also took along a black muslin backdrop but I have yet to process those photos – watch this space!
