This #makeportraits shoot was a little different as in I was photographing another photographer. Rob is a local photographer who shoots portraits and gigs. He has attended a few of my workshops and events this year for which I am thankful for.
Rob was also gracious enough to visit the studio for a couple of hours to let me #makeportraits of him. We talked about photography, our work and our struggles along with what’s happening in the industry. It’s always good to sit and talk with someone who works in the same industry as you do because you can both vent, ask questions and generally talk shop.

#makeportraits - Caroline...
I would like to start this post by saying thank you to Caroline for allowing me in to her home to photograph her and literally the day after she had returned from Holiday as well. Also thank you to the gent that is Mark Sands-Foy for putting me in touch with Caroline.
With #makeportraits I am spending time getting to know the person in front of the lens and making a portrait that is them and some cool shots as well. Less posed and more story / body language.
The Wedding of Mr & Mrs Charnock - 14th Oct 2017
in Wedding
On Oct 14th 2017 I had the pleasure and honor of photographing the wedding of Lee & Jane Charnock and what a day it was.
We started off at St Luke with All Saints Church for the ceremony where family and friends joined Lee & Jane to share their special day. St Lukes is a large grand church that is also Grade 2 listed.
A beautiful location and some friends = A Great Day and a few thought on this craft called Photography
in #GOYA, Personal Work
As a photographer working with clients and helping other photographers to improve their craft it’s far too easy to forget about what is at times the most important in all of this... YOU.
This craft is amazing. A simple black box of bits and wires (The Camera) can introduce you to some amazing people and open many doors that might stay closed or otherwise undiscovered, But it can kick your ass any day of the week and twice on Sunday if you forget to take care of yourself and if you let it.
We all need down time from work and other things in life, but it can be difficult to remember that in today’s busy world.
For me my down time has been left on the side lines and I needed to do something about it. You might think that picking the camera up would be the exact opposite of down time but you would be wrong.
