Michelle and Paul [Engaged] York

The walled city of York located at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and River Foss in North Yorkshire is a truly beautiful city and a perfect location for the engagement shoot of Paul and Michelle. I have been to York once or twice before but I have never had the opportunity to shoot there, I was therefore more than happy to visit the city with Paul and Michelle when Paul suggested shooting there having grown up in the city as a child.  We drove towards York in heavy fog but were more than delighted when the fog cleared and a perfectly blue sky was revealed, here are some of my favourites from the shoot:-

Please check back in a few days, more images coming very soon…

Black-and-white-sheffield |

Black and white images can be beautiful, but to master black and white photography one must fully understand the concept of grey scale. (start of educational information… Grey scale is a spectrum of black, lots of grey and white, like the colours of a rainbow but in a series of black and white and grey tones. You see a black and white photo is not really only black and white; it is actually lots of different shades and different depths of grey. So when one talks about grey scale it just means the way we measure tones of grey… end of educational information)

When you remove colour from an image you can no longer rely on it to provide interest or a focal point in a scene. This may seem obvious but it can be easy to forget. By doing away with colour we also remove one of the most potentially distracting elements in a photo which can of course work in your favour.

Press shots – Danny & Rich of Hiddenagenda…

This afternoon I had the privilege of photographing Danny and Rich who together form Hiddenagenda – a Sheffield based trance duo who regularly play at various venues around the UK and Ibiza. I photographed the pair about three years ago so it was really nice to be  asked to take some further press shots for them.

The weather was somewhat erratic in typical British weather style,  we arrived at our first location on the very top floor of the Q park (otherwise locally known as the cheese grater)  just in time for the beautiful winter blue sky to be covered in a very glum looking covering of black clouds.. this was of course immediately followed by a torrential rain shower! … Fortunately the rain cloud disappeared as quickly as it appeared and the blue sky returned several minutes later.
