In today's blog I'm going to write about some of my favourite photographers.
Retouching: Necessary or Evil?
Retouching. The root of all evil. The scourge of women. Or. The digital plastic surgeon. The pusher of pixels. Or most likely, somewhere in between.
What's In My Bag
In today's blog I'm going write about what I keep in my camera bag when I'm out shooting on location.
Shoot Breakdown: Beth Varty
Earlier this year I worked with the lovely Beth Varty, shooting her look book. Her collection was quite sixties in style, with really vivid bright colours. It was a similar set up for each look, so this shoot breakdown is really straightforward.
How To: Natural Reflectors
I do love natural light, particularly for portraits. A virtue of living in Britain is that the permanent coating of cloud across the sky turns it into a giant softbox, without having to lug around lighting.
Shoot Breakdown: A Fashion Look Book
Today I’m going to break down how I lit this shoot for Jazz Banks. Jazz Banks was a fashion design finalist at university, and she had the most incredible printed collection. I shot her look book, and it is one of my favourite shoots.
Canon vs. Nikon: Why You Shouldn't Give A Shit
Firstly, I feel I should preface this post with the fact that I hate the Canon vs. Nikon conversation. It has the power to repel me from a room, much like playing the music of Westlife and Avenged Sevenfold (if you don't know them, don't Google them - life is too short).
How To: Stroboscopic Lighting
Today I'm going to write about stroboscopic lighting. Strobowhatsthat you say?
Interview: Catherine Day, Retoucher
For the first interview on my blog I'm featuring retoucher Catherine Day.
Shoot Breakdown: A Portrait Session with Tanya Burr
Back in March, in a studio in East London, up 10 flights of stairs (it was probably more like 3, but I was carrying my lighting kit, so exaggeration feels warranted), I had the pleasure of once again working with Tanya Burr. We were there to shoot a couple of portraits, and had a beautiful, airy and bright studio to work in.
