Just revisting some shots I took at a Royal Wedding street party a year ago, this one stood out for varying reasons

Carlisle United’s latest signing

Surprise in the post for my son today, Grandad put a full Carlisle strip in the post for him so I couldnt resist in getting him to pose for a shot for me, great timing as he has football on Saturday morning, time to introduce Essex to the mighty Carlisle United

Melanie Hope

Newborn photograpy is something ive wanted to try for a while, im not sure if im going to excel at it or not, newborn photography seems to have really taken off in the last 12 months with lots of mentoring courses for those aspiring to shoot newborns popping up everywhere, I looked into attending one of these courses but the cost for a single days mentoring shocked me, so for now im going down the self taught route, my friend Amanda gave birth to georgous little Melanie Hope 3 weeks ago so I tried a few shots with her, I think I have a long way to go to perfect my newborn shooting but for a first ever effort im happy with it, I know Amanda is happy with this shot so thats pretty much all that counts

Been playing with different post processing techniques, with this shot of Lydia ive tried to give it a hazy vintage look

Had a shoot this afternoon and just as I was about to pack away for the day my son came in and asked if he could model for me, of course I let him

Something Different

Ive strayed a bit from the norm for this one, had a play in the garage with a couple of speedlights, one placed behind me and pointed at the wall, a 2nd high and camera right in a 60cm soft box, image converted to black & white, bit of fun really

Whilst working through Amie’s Party shots today, I saw this one of Lily and thought it was lovely, Lily is the Daughter of a close friend of ours Angela, I will be posting a montage of shots from the Party later this evening

Heybridge Sunrise

OK so I mostly do portrait stuff, well thats not entirely true I do like to try my hand at some landscape every now and then, this shot was taken last year at 5am in the morning at Heybridge Basin, just moments before sunrise, there is no processing on this shot whatsoever, what you see is exactly how it came out of the camera
