One Shoot Leads To Another

In my previous blog, I did mention to you all, that I did walk away from that photographic assignment in the knowledge that I had made some new friends.

Now one of these new friends of mine is Liz Finney aka "Shadow Don" (NB:  Her Model Name).  Liz was working on her own personal project for my friends Pizza Parlour when I did meet her.   Moving on it did not take long for the both of us to agree to having a shoot together. 

It was only two days ago that I did decide to carry out an "experiment" with my photographic kit at the Pizza Parlour when in walked Liz aka "Shadow Don".  Next thing I know "Shadow Don" had gone home to fetch her make up and all of a sudden the both of us did have an awesome shoot together.  Here is just some of the images that the both of us did capture from that night.  I hope that you all enjoy the images of my new friend "Shadow Don".

Pizza Parlour Shoot



It was just the other day, that I was talking to one of my friends (he owns a Pizza Parlour) about his Face Book profile (NB:  Company).  Soon enough we quickly got on to the subject about me taking some photographs of his Business for his Face Book profile.


Now being an Ex Night Club Photographer  and one who has not done a ‘Photo Report’ in ages, then seen me jump at the chance / the challenge of documenting the every day Business of a Pizza Parlour.  Through out my 3 days of shooting with these guys, has seen my experience grow with the following things….


A)  My Equipment (I worked with all of my tools on this assignment) .
B)  Light Levels  (I had worked with many different kinds of light sources).
C)  Work Fast (As with most Photo Reports you only get ‘One Shot’ at them).


Not only that but it also appears too, that I have found a new attraction  / respect with regards to working with High ISO’s.  I have always looked at fast ISO’s as looking ‘Unprofessional’ but after shooting some of the shots for this assignment has quickly changed my opinion of fast ISO‘s.  Instead I would now say that fast ISO’s look more cinematic and professional when used in Low Light Conditions where flash is something that you just can NOT use.


So to sign off this blog with, then another good thing that I have walked away from this assignment with… is… that I have also made some new ‘Friends’ from it too…..  Another great benefit I would say.


Hope you all enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed shooting them.
