  • EFIAP Silver Distinction

    EFIAP Silver Distinction

    This week I received news I achieved the EFIAP Silver distinction for works I have entered mostly in the past year to international photographic salons. I’m wondering now would I have put in the work to achieve this had it not been for the confinement of Covid-19. I had previously received my EFIAP Bronze in…

  • Portrait Masters Awards

    Portrait Masters Awards

    This week I received the results of my first ever submission to the Sue Bryce Education – Portrait Masters competition for January 2021. Before I get to my results, a word about why I felt I should pursue yet another international awards and distinction journey. I have been entering national and international photographic competitions since…

  • My first remote shoot

    My first remote shoot

    In these strange times I feel lucky to have the headspace to want to exercise my creative side. So when Mischkah asked me if I’d like to try a remote shoot, I gladly said yes. I’d been thinking about these for a while and wondering just how well they would work for me. I enjoy…

  • Oliphant self portrait

    Oliphant self portrait

    I gave myself a little escapism during lockdown this week, when my new hand painted custom Oliphant arrived yesterday. I should have known once I opened it to look I would be compelled to take it for a test drive. So given the circumstances a self portrait session was required.

  • Art Nude Duet

    Art Nude Duet

    I’ve sometimes been asked, tongue and cheek, why all my images are of female models.  My simple answer is that is my preference.  Nothing against guys, but I love the beauty of the female form.  It’s also seldom I have the opportunity to work with male models, but this year I have had the opportunity…

    Nerja

    On our evening stroll exploring the old town of Nerja, we ended up at Bacóne de Europa and came across the team from Tricor Design, who didn’t mind me taking some portraits of their Flamenco Dancers posing on the steps.  Looking forward to seeing a full Flamenco show later this week in Nerja.

    Croatia with SummersAbroad

    Just on my way home from an amazing three days photo vacation organised by Rachelle Summers and her #SummersAbroad team!  I still have 1800 images to process but so far I am super happy with the set and themes and variety of shoots organised and challenging me to push further outside my comfort zone in…

  • Duet

    Duet

    This week I had the opportunity to shoot with models Rachelle Summers and Tillie Feather on their latest tour of Ireland.  It’s been many years since I did a duo shoot, and to be honest had not thought too much about what I was going to do on the day.  However, since I know Rachelle…

  • Model Portrait Video

    Model Portrait Video

    So I finally managed to put together a Model Portraits video featuring some of the Model Portraiture work I’ve done over the years with some excellent touring models.  Took a few edits, but managed to create it using Lightroom CC.  Very easy process, selecting the images was the hard part.  I wanted a hi res…
