Me Taken Tonight 29.04.13

Photo of me and my current build, I think I'm looking much better than before still a big way to go.

Mark This Day.....

Ok so I’m going to make a commitment now, In 2014 I will do a triathlon. Not an Iron man or even an Olympic distance event but a super sprint. I will do one listed as “Fun” this way I will not embarrass myself on my first outing. The distances are; 200m swim - 12.5km cycle - 2.5km run all do-able even with my current broken foot. So why next year and not this year? That’s simple this year is just nuts! I have photography jobs and other commitments which I cannot break and if I do it I want to do it properly. Also the only event is 1hr and 45min away convincing my wife and kids to travel that far to support me may take a year.

The events are run by UKTriathlon and the nearest is Henley on Thames http://www.uktriathlon.co.uk/henley/index.htm http://www.uktriathlon.co.uk Ok let’s see how I get on. TTFN

Two Jobs combined.

My two jobs came together on friday when I was asked to do some project shots some boilers I actually designed.

The final Shot looked like this,

The original looked like this which was a bit flat.

I used as remote flash and put it in different locations to pick out different elements.

I then combined them in photo shop.  PS this was all done with a compact camera with a hot shoe.

Flues at back Highlighted.

Important information about services.

To all of my past and future portrait clients, from the 1^st of June I will no longer be offering studio style portrait photography.  Whilst this has been the mainstay of my work since I founded my company, my style and the market for this type of work has changed and therefore maintaining the equipment and props required to develop it further are no longer viable.  Instead I will concentrate on environmental portraiture, which I can now offer with confidence on the back of the thousands of wedding images I have captured.

Due to the wonderful English weather this decision may prove to be seasonal however I plan to spend the next few months looking for interesting locations. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

I thank you all for your support and look forward to talking to you about any upcoming projects.

Fun at the post office.
