As the title says, where did those couple of months go? I know its been a busy few months working for at my full time job and spending a fair amount of time away, but I never thought it would fly by that quickly. So just a little flavour of what has been going on outside of the full time job; back in January I popped along to the SWPP convention up in London to take a look at what is going on within the industry and catch up with some old friends which is always a great way to start the year. I have been along to a number of photography training events and of course helping out The Photographer Academy team at the Photography Show last month up at the NEC which was a great event. Something new I had never been to before was the Gadget Show held again at the NEC earlier this month where once again I helped out on The Photographer Academy stand. This was a very different show for us but it was full of surprises, the Beautiful Beast below is a character from a game and she came and had a photo session with us during the show, an outstanding costume and she was just one of many.
I have been working on a new style of signature image for my photography business, a classic Boudoir photography genre but all in Black and White to enhance that classical feel, my name for this beautiful creation is BoudNoir. Below you will see a couple of images from session I have conducted to date. The emphasis is Sensual, Seductive Stunning, keeping the images as voyeuristic as possible for that classical look with the black and white approach giving it that timeless appeal.
Back in the October half term I ran a Studio Portrait Experience Week to allow and encourage people to come along to a Professional Portrait studio and have the total Portrait experience. I am pleased to say that there were many attendees during the week long event, all of whom loved their time with me and left me some beautiful comments in my guest book to reflect on how they felt during this event and the resulting images that I have presented to them. Below is a small selection that they felt were appropriate. Thank you to all of those who attended, I do hope you will cherish the memories.
Here is a video of today's Monochrome Mystique Shoot. This style of photography provides an Emotive, Classical and Eternal feel to the images. Black and White photography has been around for decades and has never lost appeal to many people. Come along and have a styled shoot of this nature for yourself and allow me to capture that moment.
After seeing the Photo Noir style of Photography being demonstrated by Kenny Martin, I have been practicing the style and had some willing Family members around to do an entire session on the subject. Here is the outcome:
