Nut and Bolt

Another possible BIPP entry, but not sure which category now. do I enter it in the commercial category? or do I enter it for the Pictorial and illustrative category?
I did do a quick pole to find the most popular picture. However what surprised me, was most people didn't make the link that it was a NUT and BOLT
Let me know what you think, their are GOOD, BAD and UGLY buttons below. and its all anonymous.

Drax and the LED Safety Sign

A P.R. Job for Drax Power

Always do a test shot when dealing with LED's, luckily I have come across this before, but you have to sync your flash fast enough speed to freeze the action, but slow enough to stop the strobing effect that is NOT picked up by the human eye, but is by the camera.



end shot (shot in the pouring rain by the way)

Ploughing Festival

Ploughing Festival at Brayton Baff
Shooting for the Selby Times News Paper, wandering through a field in Brayton, lens covered in dust.

With nearly 100 contestants from around the country, finding the local contestants can be challenging.

However not everybody's cup of tea.

Help Needed

I have shot these images but choosing the best ones seem to be a real difficulty. Think I have over thought it.
Shot 1


Shot 2


Shot 3

If anyone wishes to leave feedback please do so, as I am truly stuck (Think I could narrow it down to two of them).

Baby Portraits for Mothers Day

Just adding a few shots from the last 3 studio sessions I've done . I will be adding them to my website online when the parents have viewed them all.
Sometimes baby's have a bigger sense of humour than you give them credit for.


Although sometimes they need a little persuasion.


Think outside the box (but shoot inside the box)


All of the images will go into the client area of my web site soon

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.
