News from the studio
Family shoot: Desiree and Kai
We've known Desireefor a while and shot her on her own a couple of times, but having seen the shots of Ted she wanted to book a shoot for herself and her son Kai. He's another photogenic kid and far from camera-shy. I think stapling him to the floor might have helped...
Fredau at Edinburgh Photographic Society
I'd booked Fredau as our model for the beginners' studio night tutorial I teach at Edinburgh Photographic Society. This was my only test shot for a clam shell lighting setup - it's always nice to nail it with the first shot. It's rather nice in colour too.
