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…

6th Balkan Exhibition 2021 results
I received results today for the last salon entered for my EFIAP Silver journey – the 6th Balkan Exhibition 2021 circuit for Serbia, Cyprus, and Romania. I received 5 awards, and 41 out of a possible 64 acceptances, with 14 of my 16 images being accepted. So the last task for my EFIAP Silver is…

Back to Norway…
Mischkah and I managed to arrange our first remote shoot of 2021 in her new Norwegian location. Here are some of the images from our two hour session. We split the time with studio lights and natural light and two different spaces. Very pleased with what we produced in such a short space of time.…

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…

A day with Ayla Rose
I’ve been waiting a while to have my first shoot with Ayla Rose. It was worth the wait! Having access to both studio and nearby locations is very useful in unpredictable Irish weather. My plans had to be flipped from morning to afternoon to make sure we got time in studio and time on location.…

Embracing the shadows…
Whether working with natural light or studio lights I’ve always been weary of the dark side! Perhaps it’s the association with camera club competitions and the risk of a judge penalizing blocked shadows that led me to be extra careful about filling in shadows somewhat and never clipping the blacks (or highlights for that matter!).…

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…

Location shoot with Tillie Feather
This week was my first time to have the pleasure of working with the amazing Tillie Feather. She was on tour in Ireland with Rachelle Summers and as luck would have it I managed to book them both for a morning shoot and Tillie for the rest of the day. So after a super morning…
