Food photography at events

A visit to the zoo.

Personally I’m not a fan of zoos although I do recognize that many of them do important work in helping keep certain species alive – even thriving.

What a fabulous day which I hope has been captured in these images. Just a few personal faves from several hundred which captured the essence of the…

Headshots can be fun too!

During a couple of recent events my clients have asked me if I could take a few headshots of some key staff members for their websites. I wasn’t expecting to be asked and so lack the sort of lighting rig that one would normally want to use for corporate headshots. My top 5 tips as…
