Just a quick picture from a ball I took photos at on Saturday. I will do a proper update with ball pictures when I have edited them.

The above shot was handheld, resting on the table with the Sigma 10mm fisheye lens. The Cardiff Hilton has some really interesting lighting for taking photos, the abstract looking glass objects on the table are actually the awards prior to being given out.

I have just finished a new website for a client who is a lecturer on Machu Picchu (an ancient set of Inca ruins in Peru). I used her photography to create a visually appealing website which aims to give the viewer an instant feeling of the scale and area surronding Machu Picchu.

The site uses a content management system to allow the client to update the content themselves, it has also been optimised for search engines.

Only 2 days left to enter the compeition the Microsoft Future Pro competition that I got 1st place in People & Portraits last year, open worldwide to full time students. Rules me out this year unfortunatly! I really did get paid the prize money and got the printer (eventually!) so well worth giving it a go, you never know…

Here’s my winning image from last year. Good luck all! Link to competition website

From a recent shoot, the clean, strong make-up applied by Shameen.

It was a couple of weeks ago I did this shoot but I hadn’t got round to putting pictures up from the shoot, so here they are! The model was called Ruby, she had a really interesting look and was really easy to work with. We were mostly going for beauty head shots. For these kind of shots it is important to light evenly to produce clean, healthy and natural looking skin.

Thanks for looking, more soon!
