Sometimes it just works
I have had one of my best photo-shoots ever today. It was the first time I had worked with this particular model who is a dancer and so we had agreed to experiment with more of the lighting techniques I had learnt at the workshop a couple of weeks ago. From the very first test [...]
Never stop practicsing
My last blog covered my experience at a lighting workshop where the group took advantage of some really nice set-ups and a beautiful model to learn some techniques. Whilst learning is really important, I think the real pleasure is putting that learning into practice. Fortunately, I have a beautiful friend who happily agrees to pose [...]
Never stop learning
I’ve spent the day at an excellent workshop organised by Calumet in Edinburgh and ran by Jon Gray. The workshop covered figure and art nude as well as some boudoir to end the day and gave me some great tips on how to really get in control of lighting which I am dying to start [...]

A great example of this happened at the weekend when I was asked to photograph the Torture Garden Edinburgh event. For those who aren’t aware, Torture Garden [...]
Fredau – Model as a Mannequin
I am coming towards the end of a project that has been running for around 6 months now which has been going under several names, but the latest is The Model as a Mannequin. I’ve just completed an excellent shoot with a model based in Edinburgh but known internationally for her magnificent art nude work. [...]
It’s good to be good, charity working improves your photography
Like many photographers, I balance a full time job with my hobby/part-time business. One of the things I have done over the last 18 months though is to donate some of my time to Marie Curie Cancer Care where I take photographs at various events around Scotland. Not only is it a good thing to [...]
