Great studio sessions today, mostly involving babies! (Of one sort or another!)
First in was newborn baby Alex, who posed eloquently in the baby hammock, with mummy and daddy holding him safe at each end. And if you think he’s going to roll out, don’t worry, and please don’t have nightmares – the hammock is safely resting on a table!
Our ‘Mummy and Me’ photoshoots at Dundonald are GREAT FUN, and give you a unique opportunity to grab some memories that will endure for a whole lifetime! Yesterday evening (Thursday 8th August) we had a lovely mum, Martine, and her daughter Tori. Here’s just one of the amazing images we made at that session:-
Tori – trying to decide what to do with her hand! Having FUN at Dundonald
Want to give it a go? It’s a great way to celebrate a birthday or a graduation or any other happy event – or just for the fun of it! To book your session ring 07802 466302, or text ‘MUMMY and ME’ and we’ll get in touch.
Mark the event with a special ‘Back to School’ mini-photoshoot at The Studio od at Ballygowan. Get professional prints of your child/ren in their school uniform, and avoid those ‘child against the door’ photos all your friends will have on Facebook!
In my last video-log from the studio I was demonstrating how I did a ‘Photo-Noir’ selfie with one light and a reflector, and someone later asked why I’d referred to it as an ‘experiment’ when its a well known studio technique!
Photo made with a Rotolight and a silver reflector
Well, what was experimental about it was that I was using a single rotolight, instead of a flash.So, what’s a rotolight, and what makes it different from a standard studio flash?
Ok – I’ve decided to become a trainee Vlogger. Here’s my first effort. If it’s successful I’m going to do some talks on image composition, gestalt theories in imaging etc, – stuff that will help beginner and novice photographers. My plan is to post the videos on the Facebook group, Bob’s Photography Forum with links to this blog for images, text etc to accompany the lessons, and asking those who are in the group and who wish to participate, to post their images in the group.
We’ll see how it goes! Here’s my test video…
