Family Portrait

I took a course in studio lighting in November run by Chris Burfoot. It was a two day course and was by far the most informative course I have been on too date. Chris is an excellent tutor who teaches by putting you in the action and letting you make mistakes. All of the shooting was done live with plenty of chances to use our cameras. Chris used a total of five models over the weekend including his grandchildren. Katy, Laura and Kathy were brilliant, Laura and Kathy were a great help as they had modelled for Chris so many times they were able to help with set-ups as well as model; Kathy is also a photographer which made it even more interesting for us.
A big thank you to Chris, Katy, Laura and Kathy for a great weekend.

The images below are of my family who became my guinea pigs when I got home so i could practice what I had learnt.

Fiona's "special" birthday party was held at the Nelson Arms in Winterslow on the 8th November. We had a great night photographing the birthday girl and her guests. Thanks to Fiona and Gary, to Russell Rowe (Landlord) and to all the guests for making it a very special evening.

If you are in the area come along and have a FREE sitting. Canvases, frames and prints will be a vailable to order and will be delivered in time for Christmas.
