Portrait shoot and feeding the ducks

I took some shots in doors before taking my son down to a place where I love to shoot, Castlefield in Manchester. We took a loaf of bread to feed the pigeons and geese that swim on the canal and hoped to lure some birds in close for a dramatic shot which almost worked! I also use this opportunity to check out some possible new shots that may work for future shoots etc. We had some fun and the birds had full bellies so was a win win day.

Hilton hotel Manchester – Cheshire weddings

Last week saw me manage to grab one of the last remaining places on the Cherish the dress workshop with well respected photographers Damien Lovegrove and Chris Hanley. The whole concept is very much about creating stunning imagery and making the dress the star! Many may have heard of trash the dress which I am a fan of so if there are any brides out there that wish to shoot on the beach or on location then please get in contact as I have some great locations in mind.

Once the workshop is over then the creative element of post processing comes into play to really help make the images sing. Here are some of my favourite shots from the day because for me photography is very much about personality, passion and expression and I think I managed to capture some tender moments and some natural laughter between Lisa and Shaun.

Thank you to all concerned, I had a great time and met some great photographers.

Fashion Shoot Manchester

Here are some of my favourites from this morning’s shoot in Manchester city centre with Lisa. I did plan to walk further into the city centre but Lisa had brought her whole wardrobe (I’m not kidding) which made even walking a major undertaking. Hopefully I will get chance to seek out some new locations and Lisa can bring all her clothes in her purse :)

Update 1st May 58 images from the entire shoot have been posted here. The model will now choose her favourite images, I will process them and post the CD off.

If you are interested in a location shoot please get in contact on – 0785 246 7686
