Day 289 – Awesomeman: So, we made it to Pembrokeshire safe and sound and headed straight to the beach, which is a 15 minute walk from our holiday cottage. Beaches are great for fun pictures…they also turn Nic into his superhero alter-ego – when Nic hits the beach he becomes Awesomeman, special power…being awesome.
Day 245 – Save the Date: We made some Save the Date bookmarks for our wedding guests and they arrived today. They look awesome and here’s one of the shots we used. If you get one from us, hope you like it!
Day 240 – Smile!: Our good friend Pippa is up this weekend and she helped us with a wedding-related photo project, this picture being a test shot from said project. Yes, I’m being mysterious but I don’t want to ruin any surprises!
Day 239 – Dog Days: Today has been a good day – I found out that I’ve passed my 6-month probation at work and have been asked to stay on beyond my current contract, then I also got to photograph Hiccup the dog again along with two blokes dressed as dogs…brilliant!
Day 212 – I’m With the Band: Yesterday I got a phonecall from Martin, a longtime family friend, asking if I was around to do photo shoot with his band ahead of the release of their new album. This shoot has been one we agreed I’d do back in 2006, but it’s taken some time to get to the stage where it was needed! Anyway, we had a stroll round Digbeth today doing the session, and this one – complete with strobist style wireless flashes – is my early favourite!
Day 174 – Day Off: I coulnd’t resist posting another pic from my hols given how I’d got the day off today, this one comes from the spooky abandoned funfair that was opposite our complex.
Day 85 – Rock!: Today I had two portrait sessions – one with a family in the morning then in the afternoon I met guitarist Christian, who wanted some promo shots doing. We headed into a studio for most of the session, but I was desperate to play with some strobist wireless flash outside first. We went to Coventry Cathedral ruins, I set things up, told Christian to jump and the result?…Awesome!
Day 71 – Not so Jolly Hockey Sticks: Yesterday I finally purchased my dream flashgun, one that lets me use it off camera for a strobist effect. Before Ellie went off to play hockey, I grabbed this rather scary portrait of her to test if I’d got my head round the theory. It worked!
