Some recent commercial work shows how simple backlighting and equally simple composition can create something really striking. Strong diagionals from the flame-like petals are balanced by the texture of the seeds in the bottom corner.

Blackpool Lights, Big City
Blackpool. Its a hell hole to some and jewel to others. We stayed in a great hotel though- The Metropol which is where I snapped this picture in the lift. Amazingly on 3200 iso on the Fuji S5 it still looks good. You wouldn't get this on a Nikon... Second pic is from the Pleasure Beach. Such a weird and entertaining place.

The Boys in the Studio
Matt & Sarah brought in their 'boys' for a shoot a couple of weeks back. They were very well behaved and great fun. Very wet noses though. We got some great closeups and action shots - what a happy family!

Joe & Bex
It seems such a long time ago but our good friends Joe & Bex were married in a field of Romany Caravans at the start of September. We weren't officially working - but the temptation was too much! Here are a couple of snaps from the day.
Shot without flash because the natural light was just amazing. What a brilliant day and what a genuinely lovely couple they are!
If you are looking for something different for the summer holidays the Rock Valley Farm is great. Where else can you sleep in a caravan with Llamas next to you? Fantastic food in abundance from Exeters - Bon Goutes Deli

Luke & Lucy at The Medieval Hall, Salisbury
The Medieval Hall must be one of the oldest venues I have been to.
What a day we had . Luke and Lucy are old and very dear friends so it was a great to be asked to cover their wedding day.
Luckily, we had Ignacio on hand for all the formal stuff - so I could get on with being an usher too!
Still managed to get a couple of moments to use my Fuji S5 though (with a Nikon 17-35mm 2.8 lens).

Thanks to the lovely team at Weston's super boutique tres chic for inviting me down to photograph the shop and them at work. They worked me hard - but thats the way I like it!
