It was nice being able to spend half a day in the studio on the first day of 2019. I was shooting a few flat lay images for my food book but had a little spare time at the end so put this together.
I am definitely developing a thing for colour and I can see it being used in a lot of my work in 2019.
Thanks for reading.

This #makeportraits shoot was a little different as in I was photographing another photographer. Rob is a local photographer who shoots portraits and gigs. He has attended a few of my workshops and events this year for which I am thankful for.
Rob was also gracious enough to visit the studio for a couple of hours to let me #makeportraits of him. We talked about photography, our work and our struggles along with what’s happening in the industry. It’s always good to sit and talk with someone who works in the same industry as you do because you can both vent, ask questions and generally talk shop.
This is one of those shoot’s I meant to blog but then got busy and totally forgot. #mybad
Back in Feb 2017 Katie visited the studio for a shoot. Pretty sure it has been a good 2-3 years since we last worked together. Must not let that happen again.
The title image of this blog post shows the BTS. It’s rare I will shoot on a tripod unless I’m shooting product work but at times it is worth it for portraits to give you a consistent framing and a fixed camera position for the subject to play to.
To start with we worked with seated portraits on the ridiculously high stool I bought from Tesco’s last year.
I find that having a client or subject sit down is an easier way to start a shoot and it can help make them feel at ease. Katie has no problem getting straight in to a shoot.
On to some images.
Over the last 6 months or so I have been doing research in to food photography. This has been in the form of online courses and in person workshops with Scott Choucino and Holly Bell.
I have been chomping at the bit (pun intended) to get shooting some food work here is the first bit. More will be coming in the new year ( once the hangover has gone ).
