I’d been meaning to do this for a while and have just picked up a few more scrim/reflector panels which gave the opportunity for this ten-minute test. This is known as the booklight setup and it's used quite a lot by the filumn guys, (moving images not the luddites). The idea is to [...]
A great fun and collaborative portrait photography session in our Exeter headshot studio! To cut to the chase... Got the Shots Andrew. Thanks to a job well done! It's always pleasing when a client expresses their pleasure and it was genuinely good fun photographing Chris, I'll take his comment 'I had a laugh' [...]
The things I get Karin to do during Lockdown 2020! Someone had challenged me to post something on the "Recreate artworks with things you find at home" Facebook page, so I did a bit of thinking. I was originally looking for a Vermeer to use as a reference point but the Annie Leibovitz [...]
Andrew Butler is a commercial photographer working in the U.K. (or not, as the case has been recently). Earlier in the year he bought a baby 5/8-In grip arm pin, it took a while to appear, apparently it was delayed by 'Chinese New Year and a bit of a health problem that they were having'. [...]
Lamprini visited the studio yesterday, yes we did do some studio shots too. The main focus on the headshot session was some natural light portrait photographs around Exeter.

A busy weekend at the Exeter headshot photography studio, the fist visitor Amélie arrived on Saturday morning looking for portraits to support her acting work. Mum came too although strictly as an observer while Amélie made the pre-selections! We generally run through an initial selection at the studio and upload a web galley [...]
I guess there is a lesson for all of us in this, it's not my usual write up for these pages but interesting to me at least. I was in London at the weekend visiting family. Whilst walking round the part of London that I really can't afford (London) I'd already been asked [...]
Elvis came into the Exeter (Southernhay) headshot photography studio yesterday with her dad, she was looking for some first headshots to support her applications into the world of acting. I reckon she pretty much nailed the shoot where we worked on both high and low key images. Dad was made to sit outside [...]
Emma visited our Exeter photography studio recently to update her headshot portraits for agents. Having recently studied and now aiming to move her career on Emma also had a good idea about the direction she wanted to move on with the images. In particular she had a good focus on the roles that [...]
