Saturday 2nd May I was given the opportunity to 2nd shoot for the wedding of Karen and Gavin, with Sheila of Dove Photography who is based in Blackpool. The day started with the wedding at The White Church in Lytham followed by afternoon and evening at The Hilton Hotel, Blackpool. The weather was glorious for the day and I had a fabulous time assisting Sheila capture some great moments from the day. By kind permission, here are a few of my shots from the day.
Last Sunday saw Jan and I take a trip to Clitheroe and Spring Woods near Whalley. As usual I couldn't go without taking the camera and taking some photos whilst walking around. Here are some of the results.
This Sunday saw me enjoy an inspirational get together of the NWPPA. The idea was to learn the fundamentals of finding and using the light and the use of simple posing techniques. This was held at Zoe Photography in Stanley Grange, Knowsley nr Liverpool. It was a great morning and as always and a pleasure to meet up with some inspirational people. Below are just a few of the images that were the result of having two patient models in our group, Alex and Scott.
Well here is a little bit about me. I was born in 1969 in Suffolk and was brought up in Suffolk until I left School in 1986. From there I joined the Royal Air Force as an Airframe Engineer. I was based in Norfolk for 16 years where I travelled to many countries with my job. From January 2004 until December 2009, I was posted to Moray in the North of Scotland. This where my love of photography escalated. Starting with landscape and general photography, I was to discover I had a real love of taking pictures of people especially weddings. The interaction with people of all ages was a breath of fresh air to me. This helped me to make the decision to leave the RAF after 22 years, relocate to be with my partner in Blackburn and spend more time on my passion of photography. Now with the support of Janet and many people in the industry I am striving to continually improve and put a smile on all the faces I ever work with. This blog will hopefully become a little insight into my new life and I hope it will be of interest to many people in the future.
Happy Reading.
