Photoshoot with Billie
I recently had the pleasure of shooting for the 3rd time with Billie Lister. She is one of the most beautiful, professional models I have had the pleasure of shooting with. Each time that we shoot I feel that she produces images which are beautiful to view.
Old Landscape Shot
I was going through my archives this morning and I found a shot that I just loved when it was taken and think I love it even more now. This shot was taken in November 2008 and shows the Balmoral Hotel from Waverley Bride.
Kayleigh and Gordon Wedding
Saturday 19th June 2010
Dunkeld Hilton House
We had the pleasure of photographing Kayleigh and Gordon’s wedding on the 19th June 2010 at the incredibly beautiful Dunkeld Hilton House. The hotel is set within its own secluded 280-acre estate in the beautiful Perthshire countryside.
Lizzie O Clothing
I recently had the pleasure of working with Julie of Lizzie O who designs and makes a range of incredible clothing. We had the beautiful Laura Juma model the clothing. She was a complete natural!
I love the history behind the fabrics and how different and unique each piece is. I can safely say the pieces are beautiful to wear and the fabric feels fantastic against the skin, I am very lucky to own one of Julie’s beautiful pieces and would highly recommend them to anyone!
Julies take on the products:
The inspiration for my label is my lifelong fascination for Japan and, in particular, an enduring love of Japanese kimonos and anything Geisha. I came across some vintage kimono fabrics six months ago and instantly fell in love with them. I was inspired and wanted to make something beautiful from them so that women of today could get the opportunity to enjoy them and get a sense of the history of the women who wore them.
Photography Genres and How They Look
Headshots
A head shot is a photographic technique where the focus of the photograph is a person’s face. Headshot is essentially the same as portrait. However, headshot is an image that portrays people as they are and is more of a ‘mug shot’, however simple or stylized it might be. Whereas, a portrait will often ‘portray’ the person with elements of his life, such as his work, interest, etc.
