Holly...

Test shots again...

Had some studio time inbetween shots so thought i would take a few off the class as my test shots.

This is Holly, i took a few of Holly and chose this image for the comfort look of it.

I like the position of the shoes at the bottom of the shot here.

Power Nap...

Working in the studio today with Holly and Patrick testing the lighting set-ups.

This shot sort of stood out from the rest for some reason?

Maybe i was jealous of Patrick's perching post?

Today was a very sleepy day for everyone...

Lovers Island...

Llanddwyn Island just off Newborough Beach in Anglesey.

Known as lovers island, This was some walk from the car park felt like a ten mile round trip turns out it's only four! felt like ten with all my camera gear and a months supply of beef sandwiches anyway!

This place reminded me of cornwall with its little coves and beaches, what an amazing place less than two hours from home.

Shame the sky wouldnt break for us on this day, it had been raining for hours previously and we were lucky enough for it to stop while we were there.

Would love to go again when the weather is nice.

Here is a usefull site with information on this location below.

Chanel Fashion Shoot...

A photoshoot for the college fashion team. This was a last min shoot so had 5min to prepare the studio with lighting set-up.

Photo-shopped the backlight out of the shot apart from a few minor tweeks and adjustments this is as shot.

Quite pleased with the outcome as have never worked in this studio before, big thanks to the fashion team and the model they were great to work with..

Same photoshoot as above with different models, limited light here resulted in the model on the right to be slightly darker than the rest, kinda works for me though so chose this as one of my finals.

Something about the attidude in this shot that i liked..

Same photoshoot as above.

Took various shots of this model, cant decide a fav? this is one from a short list of three.

Llyn Ogwen...

Found this amazing rock next to Llyn Ogwen in Snowdonia National Park.

Most of the day was spent shooting into the sun, this was one of only a few shots that wasn't.

The views across the vally were never ending with peak after peak. Tryfan was behind us and it's snow-capped peaks popping through the clouds. Spotted a guy usin a large format camera, had a chat turns out he was one of Britain's top landscape photographers Neil Bryce!!

This place is 100% worth the drive to explore..

Bala Lake...

Bala Lake..

On route for the coast and stopped off at Bala Lake, nobody around for miles until the film crew from Wales version of the one show turned up. Had to sit n wait till they done filming then got my shot..

This is a 3 image HDR converted black & white then layered over origional at 15%

Full colour and the b+w both looked ok just wanted subtle colour popping through to create the mood..

The Midnight Skater...

Part two of my sleepwalking shoot with Leon, we sort of got the shots we needed so had some fun. Not very often ya get to skate in ya slippers and pyjamas and it had been raining so slamming was on the cards tonight. I was hoping he did, i guess he was thinking the opposite. Sorry Leon but would of made for a great shot. So here's one for the skateboard scapbook. Cheers again Leon..

Tried a different view from above the bowl looking down onto the reflections.

The ambient light coming in from the top left cast a strange shadow through the railings that also created a reflection of broken light that half lit up the left hand side of the bowl.

I thought a 3rd shot looking across the top of the bowl with the glow of the power station in the background would work well here, the look of suspended anticipation on Leon, do i? don't i?

These images were for a sleepwalking photoshoot, again thanks to Leon for braving the cold in his pj's again....
