Derby

The Format Festival is currently on in Derby and as a photographer I felt there was an obligation for me to go and check it out, so last Sunday I did. There's some really good stuff on show, especially if you visit some of the galleries around The Strand area...in my opinion that's where the best stuff is, not at The Quad. Anyway, whilst I was walking around that part of the town I managed to take a couple of good shots.


It was a lovely Sunday afternoon to be honest, mooching around and taking photos because I could, not for anyone else. I should do it more often.

Behind the Scenes

After a bit of a break for Christmas/New Year I've finally started getting back into things, and in the past week have had two great shoots with the following people:

Model Sara Belle
Model Lhoryn

Hair Stylist Sarah Story
Hair Stylist Adelle Barlow

MUA Louisa Beau
MUA Adele Coxon

The above pics are a few examples of what these people were up to whilst I was getting my side of things ready.

Winter

Being fully aware that the internet is awash with wintery photos at the moment, I thought I'd limit myself to just a few and stop there...besides, I've got a stack of wedding photos to process.

Lola

I was randomly asked to take photos of someone's dog today, a beagle puppy called Lola. I'm normally more of a cat person, but any animal that takes time out of its Sunday to pose for me will do! Shot with my a900 using a 50mm wide open, with conversion to black & white done in Aperture 3.
