Close up of Eleanor’s eye in the studio. Lit with one flash softbox. Shot with an extension tube, and 50mm Lens on Hasselblad.

This is the most expensive photo of the day yet. £2.99 for about 5 Strawberries from M&S. That will teach me for buying out of season. The shot was taken in the studio with a red perspex base, a rear light with red gel, and two front lights and a couple of masking boards. All [...]

Today I am combining my love of all things that glow and ghosts. These little guys are trying to stare you into the weekend. Go with it. Have a good time… Shot in the studio again, with no lights, camera set to bulb and just the glow of the ghosts. What’s more relaxing than a [...]

Today’s photo was taken in the studio again. This time dropping oil into a pint of water, sticking a straw in and blowing. It was lit with one pink gel covered flash head. It made a pretty cool series of images. This is my favorite. There’s been a lot of studio. I’ll get outside again [...]

I found this little bug on a branch this morning, and took her in for a while to take some photos. She was pretty fast moving, so I moved the leaves with one arm to keep her focused and shot the camera with the other. It was lit with just one flash head and a [...]

Another studio shot today. The background was lit with a gel covered light, and one flash lighting the wood coming from the top left to give it strong shadows. Uh oh, I’ve looked at it for so long that it has started to look like wooden hands. Right, I’m off until tomorrow, want to do [...]

Today’s image was taken in the studio with three lights, two with coloured gels for the electric effect. I arranged the spaghetti strands in a wine glass and kept twisting them around until they looked flower-like. Hope you like the shot. Have a good week!

Busy day today. Looking forward to this evening. I thought I would set up a still life in the studio today as I couldn’t get out due to the rain/sleet. I just set up something simple. I think it looks quite interesting as a shot. I love circles in squares : ) Off to see [...]

A bit of a quality jump today in terms of Camera. This was shot on a Hasselblad with a P20 Digital back (22 Megapixel – Take a look at the full sized version on Flickr). At the studio where I work, there is a store of photographic backgrounds dating back over 30 years. Some looking [...]
