Portraiture Photography | Laura Giddings

Portraiture, I have to say, is where feel most comfortable, photography wise. I find it a lot easier to be creative when I am photography a living, breathing subject that I can actually talk to. For these portraits I was taking photos of my friend Laura and there photographs were taken in Treborth which is a wooded area just outside of Bangor next to Menai Bridge. It was my first time to Treborth so I found the experience a bit exciting. I am quite happy with the photographs that I got from this session and so was Laura.

I used a Canon EOS 50D for these photographs and I used a combination of a Canon 50mm f1.8mm lens and a Canon 28mm f1.8mm lens. Both with Circular Polarising Filters on them as I wanted to accentuate the cloud detail from that day.

One of the weddings that I mentioned previously happened on Saturday in Sheerness and I have to say it went brilliantly. It was genuinely fun and there were no incidents. The photographs from that wedding should be going up soon. But for now I thought that I would put up these portraits as I took them some time ago and their appearance on this blog. I have included ten photographs from the shoot on this post, so please enjoy.

Wedding Photography | Emma And Liam Jackson

I have recently found out that I am due to be the photographer at two weddings in the near future. And to celebrate this I have decided to place a post showing one of my previous weddings. This wedding was between Emma Jane Oxborrow and Liam Jackson. The wedding took place in Maidstone on the 15th of August 2009. I started of at the Bride’s house taking photographs of her getting ready for the wedding and then I made my way to the place where the wedding was actually going to happen before the Bride got there. This was so that I could have photographs of her arrival to the church. It also meant that I was able to have a photograph of the Groom with his best man.

For this wedding I used my Canon 50D with the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 lens. I also at times used my Canon Speedlite 430EX external flash gun.

In this post I have included nine photographs.
