SubscribeOK I cheated. I couldn’t choose my 2nd favourite picture of Linda. I have chosen my 2 joint 2nd favourites. (What a cop-out). Looking through these was a load of fun and brought vividly back to mind how great a time Linda and I had doing these pictures. For those who are interested the arch...
Ruth was not only a lovely subject to photograph, but was also a great pianist. She brought a relaxed and fun approach to the session. I have a particularly fond memory of meeting Ruth as she insisted on giving some lovely wine and fine biscuits to say thanks; a really lovely person.
Sorry for the posting delay. Truthfully there are up cycles and down cycles in any hobby, and I have been going through a bit of a “down-phase” recently. I thought I might start gently again with my second choice from Bethan’s shoot from my 100 portraits project last year. I didn’t do many pictures that...
Continuing with my series of second choices from my 100 portraits project of last year. Breege met me in the botanic gardens in Glasgow, (a frequent choice for my subjects), and we spent a fair amount of time playing with this colourful bush to bring colour and depth into the portrait. It was fun going...
Charlotte and I met on the roof of the National Museum in Edinburgh. It was incredibly windy and this made it difficult to get many pictures of Charlotte with Edinburgh’s roofscapes behind. This one was my favourite of the windswept images we did, and would have been my second choice overall. I love the intensity...
This was my 2nd favourite shot from Jess’s session during my 100 portraits project. It was done in the cloisters at Glasgow University and provided my firstreal taste of deeply interesting light. I seek out side sources of light now if I can find them, but I was still learning then. This was at ISO...
Taken in early March on the stairs running up above Kelvingrove park in Glasgow. Caroline is a keen sportswoman, and I remember being out of breath just keeping up with her as she strode uphill to her chosen place. I felt I was beginning to grow my confidence a little about this point in the...
Tommy was my first taste of photographing someone who had no shyness at all. Not that he was overconfident or vain, far from it, he just had fun and so did I. I could have used most of his photographs. This one is my second favourite from our shoot.
Sorry about the thin posting since my session with Sarah Jane and Paul. It’s just as well I did that when I did as I was away all the following week walking the Great Glen Way between Fort William and Inverness (73 miles) and the day I was travelling back Sarah Jane delivered! The way...
Just before I went on holiday last week I met with one of my “100 portraits” subjects and her partner. Sarah Jane is expecting and wanted some pre-natal shots before the birth; I have to say I am extremely honoured to be asked and delighted that they are letting me post these for my blog...
