Given that yesterday was a trip to the dentist it was rather good fun. A 'hectic' schedule though. Task 1: Headshot Photography Set up a simple headshot studio in one of the treatment rooms. This task would have been easier if someone hadn't left a large dentists' chair in the middle of the [...]
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 [...]
Hat's off to anyone who can look calm and relaxed in the middle of an open space on what was frankly not a great weather day. Thanks then to Shona for rising to the challenge. Yes, Shona delivered and the image is now working for Thomas Westcott on both the company's own website [...]
I did one of these a while ago for New York and I thought 'why not Paris too?' I've just created a book of Sicilian people but we've not long visited Paris. So this is a selection of images from a few visits, mainly Montmartre, La Défense, and the Saint-Ouen area including La [...]

We've all got our own learning styles but one great way to learn photography is by doing. Aaliyah joined me recently to gain a greater understanding of the world of photography. Studying journalism in London but with specific photography modules to complete she was able to gain a better understanding of studio work and then [...]
Photographs of New Yorkers As with the main site these are my holiday snaps but this time the emphasis is on people, I might hashtag these as #streetphotography though I'd probably feel a little awkward about it. Let's make one thing clear, New Yorkers can be very vocal if an uninvited camera is [...]
Chloe asked me to do a quick headshot recently at the end of an event that I'd been photographing at Exeter Racecourse. I had photographed her a while ago at my day of 100 headshots but it was literally a light test, she was laughing at colleagues in the shots! At the time I found [...]
Recently we reported a day's photography at Exeter Civic Centre that included: Studio headshot photography Staff documentary photography Branding photography Photography of technology Photography of meetings In this day we were able to record documentary style records of people at work as well as studio quality portraits. Setting Up A Location Studio Whilst [...]
