The Versatility of Photography

Over the past few days I have been rushed off my feet. not just busy, but busy floating between a P.R. Photographer, a Social Photographer, A Commercial Photographer and a Pet Photographer. Well it certainly makes for an interesting life.

A Military Job, for a training course. a regular client.



Turbine Pictures, for Drax Power Station, a regular client.


P.R. Shot for The Yorkshire Stage Academy , a regular client.


Family sittings, the main stay of the studio.


Pet Portraits cute, but they make a mess of the white background.


Another P.R. Job for Drax Power Station. Just wanting some images from an art competition for the local papers.


Actors Head shots. ALWAYS busy with headshots - every time they change there hair or there look they have to get there portfolio updated for the next audition they get called to.

(well thats good, isn't it)

Valentines Photos

A few of the Valentines shots that I have taken over the past week.

There is a fine line between shooting artistically to make it look classy, or crossing the line and making it look cheep.

All images shown with the clients consent.

Having the advantage of having a brick wall behind the studio leads to a different type of shot. Also it gives the client a wider choice when selecting there images.

Wedding Photography

Wedding at Selby Abbey


With wedding photography I find if I try new shots each wedding, it makes it unique and fresh. There is nothing worse than a photographer shooting each wedding the same as the last one.
This wedding was a wet weather wedding, so forced to think outside the box.

Studio Sittings

Just a couple of images from the studio shoots I had.


Even the family shots shot on black seem to be very popular.


Shooting against a plane white brick wall is the most chosen images in the studio.


However the plain white background is the easiest to work with (but less artistically challenging). Although this gives the photographer more of a chance to get an expressive reaction from the subject.
