No matter how far in your career you can never stop learning! Had some time to experiment with different lighting techniques on this shoot and will be using this set up again for future shoots.

Creating shadows and shapes. Simple set up using just two lights and a poly board. Love nothing more than creating something from nothing but an idea and knowledge.

Running a bit late on the Halloween posts due to the arrival of my new born. Here’s some work I shot for @braidbarbers no photoshop trickery here, just a good team on hair, make up and myself behind the lens.

In the spotlight. Putting emphasis on the key component in this image by choosing to just light the hair and nothing else.

Last weeks collaboration between @r.braid & @james_beaumont was epic to photograph. They wanted simple and crisp so stopped it back to white and kept things clean and simple, by over exposing you background you’ll ensure your white is nothing but clean.
