A boudoir shoot for Zoe

Zoe came by the studio for a boudoir shoot today. Zoe is a regular model at the studio and we are desperate to run some workshops as soon as we get through the lockdown, but in the meantime we’ve pretty much just been shooting together and with no-one else. Working 1-2-1 with Zoe in the studio means I can keep a good social distance and shoot from a way off using the 70-200mm lens.

This latest batch of images were captured with my new Nikon Z7II camera and was really a test run to see how it performed. The jury is still out I think and I may do  video giving my thoughts on it. I don’t think it handles as well as a DSLR and the files, though 45mp sensor, are nothing compoared to the images from the Pentax 645Z medium format camera. Here’s a couple of images from the shoot.

To book me for your boudoir shoot, just fill in the contact form and I will get straight back to you.

Product photography for Wilkes Vending

Wakefield procuct photographer

Work is still very slow due to the COVID-19 pandemic but some jobs are still trickling through such as this product shoot for a local vending company. The job involved photographing several new types of packaging to promote a new line of drinks that will soon be available from their vending machines.  I set up a white infinity curve in the studio and photographed all the products seperately allowing them to be used as individual illustrations of to be composited into groups shots as required.

Product photography for Quail Digital

A trip over to Howden today to shoot for a new client, Quail Digital. The brief was to capture images of the staff of a local supermarket wearing and using the headsets designed and built by the American electronics firm. Despote the COVID-19 restrictions, we managed to get shots of the staff without the facemasks that have become such a norm these days. It was important to get the images without the masks as this would otherwise have dated the images and given them a short shelf life. By using a longer focal length lens, I was able to maintain social distancing with the added advantage of blurring the backgrounds and making the product stand out.

Commercial photography for AETC

I have been commissioned by aeroplane parts manufacturer AETC to shoot images of their production lines at both their Leeds and Leicester factories. The shoots have involved three full days of shooting covering both people and manufacturing processes. I’m really pleased with the images I created at the two sites. However, I had to sign an NDA and, therefore, I am unable to show any of the images. This is to avoid competitor firms from seeing  any unique processes AETC have adopted in the way they manufacture the parts. Also, some of the parts are copyright of firms such as Pratt & Whitney and it would need permission from those companies also to be able to use the images in the public domain. So, rest assured I made some nice images and can be commissioned to do the same for your company too.

To see what images were able to be used in the public domain and to get a flavour of what we created, visit the AETC website which is being rewritten and will be going live soon.

Portfolio shoot for Gina

glamour photographer West Yorkshire

Gina dropped by the studio today for a portfolio shoot to help kickstart her modelling career. Gina had been in front of the camera a few times for amateur photographers but today we created some high end beauty and modelling shots. We covered a range of styles from headshots, the main purpose of the shoot, through to fashion and swimwear.

Gina was very relaxed in front of the camera which meant I was able to concentrate on getting the images rather than having to guide her through the poses. We ended up with a wide range of images, a few of which I have posted here. To book me for your model portfolio shoot, just give me a call or fill out a contact form below.

Gold award from the Yorkshire Photographic Union

award winning portrait photographer based in Yorkshire

This image of Sarah recently won me the gold award for best portrait (print section) at the Yorkshire Photographic Union (YPU) annual competition. Each year the YPU holds a competition which attracts 1000s of entries from photographers from all over the county and the competition is stiff as there are mnay high quality images to go up against. So it was pleasing that for the second year in a row I managed a gold medal for best in class with last year’s entry, also of Sarah, took gold award in the best digital creative image. The above image was taken during my fisrt ever shoot with Sarah while last year’s entry was from a subsequent cosplay shoot where Sarah played the part of a fallen angel, complete with black feathered wings!
