Portraits using the setting sun as a light source





You can't beat nature when it comes to fantastic light. The self portraits below were taken  using the setting sun as a light source, no one else around to photo so had to use myself :(

The use of processing

Here we have an image which stands in its own right as a great picture.  With processing this image gains an attitude of gritty authenticity .






Thanks to Alan Cameron for the pic

The newest member of the family

The challenge of working without flash

Part of my preferred style of working is without flash using just available light.  The following pictures were taken at a small bonfire, using the fire as my light source.   

Ella my step daughter with her Grandpa enjoying the warmth of the fire




Sally my Wife with a love-ly sparkler


Dan my step son sitting by the fire, this is a personal favourite.

portraits in studio and out

A few examples of my portrait work with my willing family models. I will have to broaden my horizons soon and seek out some willing models
