This week’s Throwback Thursday post features Kayleigh Pearson on Anfi Beach in Gran Canaria. She flew out for a couple of days shooting with Natalie Pike & Rachael Tennent, which made for an entertaining few days. This was a glamour shoot to sell on to magazines, from the days before I moved to London & […]

Weddings

Once upon a time, in a land far far away, I considered being a wedding photographer. When I first started taking photos, as I hadn’t planned to do it for a living, I tried my hand at everything to see what I was most drawn to. Weddings can be great fun, everyone’s happy & dressed […]

Kayleigh Pearson – Sunset Shoot

Matt Christie Photo — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 13:59:03 +0000

Here’s a glamour shoot from a while ago with Kayleigh Pearson out in Gran Canaria. Sunset is a magical time to shoot, but the window of opportunity to get the very best light is pretty small, so you have to work fast. The sun seems to set with alarming speed over there, & some days […]

Shoot – Rachel Cole

Matt Christie Photo — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 08:09:02 +0000

One of the photos from this shoot was my first ever published photo, so I guess it’ll always stay in my mind because of that. Rachel came out as part of an intense fortnight of shooting for publication; 12 girls in 2 weeks, out at sunrise & shooting till sunset, so long long days. There’s […]

Behind the Scenes – Six Bikinis on a Boat

Matt Christie Photo — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 08:30:41 +0000

This was a pilot for a TV show, I forget what, they just wanted someone to take a few behind the scenes shots. It was a shame not to pose anybody in such a great setting, but you get some great natural shots this way. It’s quite tricky shooting on a boat as the light’s […]

How I Got Started

Matt Christie Photo — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 08:27:34 +0000

This is something that I get asked quite a bit. Although I was always the guy with a camera on a night out, it hadn’t occurred to me that it’d be possible to do anything else with it, so it’s all been a bit of a serendipitous whirlwind. Anyway, here’s what happened… In 2005 I […]

Five Go Mad in Gran Canaria

Matt Christie Photo — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 08:33:00 +0000

I only had multiple girls out to Gran Canaria a couple of times, but they were two of the most entertaining shoots I’ve ever done. It’s very hard work shooting from sunrise (in make-up at 4.30am!) till after sunset, around 9.30pm so it’s more important than ever to have models you can get on with. […]

Beach Photography Tips

As a companion piece to my favourite beach shots the other day, I thought I’d share some things I’ve found about shooting on beaches. I was living in Gran Canaria when I took up photography & for the first three years pretty much every shoot involved a beach at some point. 1) Shoot at sunrise & […]

Favourite Beach Shots

First in a series of posts showcasing my favourite shots from my own work. I’m starting with some oldies from my Gran Canaria days….these were all shot between 2006 & 2008, so my style has evolved quite a bit since then! Sooo many people asked me if we used a trampoline for this shot! Abigail’s […]
