I’ve seen her wearing them in photos on nights out many times before, always looking fabulously glamazonian, so very much looked forward […]

The lighting set up I used had four lights, a beauty dish above & to camera left, a gridded soft box to camera right, a honeycombed snoot as a hair light, & a honeycombed reflector to light the background. It’s pretty […]

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 & […]

In practice, things are a little more complicated, but there are a number of ways you can help me out in order to have a relaxed, fun […]
