I am a studied in analogue photographer so very traditional in my photography, but the new methods open up vast unlimited worlds for art and using your work as art , I enjoy the new world but not skilled at using the new technology , how do other photographers feel .

A studio portrait by MAVERICK photography, the lighting was even with soft boxes to eliminate shadows with high key lighting, so nice and bright to show off the lovely artistic colours.

Photographers all have a problem , how many edits look great on a photo,,, how do you choose without going insane ?

A Ballet dancer entering the modelling world and adding portfolio photos , I did various edits and worked to the models instruction with some aesthetic instruction from myself. I am always pondering over what edit to do and do not like to over edit.

A portrait showing a healthy Gym life style during a workout , the Photo was softly lit to stop dark shadows with basic studio lights set at 45% to the front left and right of the subject , water spray was used to resemble a workout .

When you take a portrait or life style photograph of someone , get in close . Not with a short lens . I always use a zoom lens so you can slip in and out of ranges as you shoot. This keeps your distance and relaxes the person you are taking the photos of . The use of the eyes is an important part of portraiture , they 99% have to be in focus apart from alternative portraits. Hair , why keep it tidy I always do the lest part of a portrait with ruffled hair it adds interest .

When you have the lovely opportunity to capture someone's soul , make sure their good soul shows through. always leave plenty of time for the project. people get stuck in traffic , get held up and need time for a cup of tea and a biscuit. Time to relax. Give them studio space and do not crowd them. Sometimes the most simple lighting and a relaxed subject works best.
