Commercial assignment

Posted on May 2, 2015 by Darren under Commercial Photography

I love the variety of commercial photography jobs, and here’s a shot from some work I did this week for Bedfordshire Growers in Biggleswade. Fruit and veg make great images, as there’s loads of colour. 🙂

Here’s a photo I took as part of an aviation commission at Sywell Aerodrome. I love the chance to combine my passion for aviation with my portrait skills. 🙂

Some sepia fun with an air to air image

Posted on April 22, 2015 by Darren under Aircraft

Here’s an air-to-air shot I took last week of the Shuttleworth Collection Bristol F2b Fighter. I’ve applied a vintage sepia effect, as this WWI fighter suits the look! 🙂

More studio sessions

Posted on April 15, 2015 by Darren under Recent portrait sessions

I’ve been really busy the last few weeks, with a broad mix of portraits, aviation and commercial work. Here’s a shot taken a few weeks back that I quite like. I use a bleach bypass effect on a lot of my portrait work, as it’s great for a more modern look.

Sloooooow shutter speeds

I love being creative with slow shutter speeds when photographing aircraft, as you get a real feel for the speed.

First Birthday studio photo session

Posted on April 12, 2015 by Darren under Recent portrait sessions

I had some fun shooting this little chap for his first birthday the other week. This type of image works so well on a canvas, with the simple composition and bleached colours.

Fun portrait sessions for Easter!

Posted on April 1, 2015 by Darren under Recent portrait sessions

These guys had fun in my studio the other day. The boys were initially quite nervous, but I used my people skills to get them involved and had them giggling within a short period of time. It’s often the biggest challenge of portraits, when trying to get children relaxed. I have a secret weapon in the form of Monkey ( a little soft toy, that my daughter has loaned me), who has a mind of his own on photo sessions! 🙂

Easter Egg hunt at Northill

I’m not sure who had the most fun at the Northill School Easter egg hunt yesterday! The parents or the children? 🙂

A day out in Birmingham – NEC!

Posted on March 24, 2015 by Darren under Uncategorized

I spent the day at The Photography Show in Birmingham yesterday. It’s an annual show that allows photographers to check out the latest gear, but also to see a range of new products. I’ve found a couple of interesting items that I may consider adding to my range, including a rather nice Acrylic frame. I also met up with a lot of my old friends from the photographic industry, which was rather nice. 🙂

Eclipse 2015 viewed from Bedfordshire

Posted on March 20, 2015 by Darren under Commercial Photography, Uncategorized

Here’s a selection of images I captured during the eclipse over the UK this morning. Thankfully, the clouds were just right to diffuse the light and add some atmosphere to the images.
