Today, not images just words I am afraid, but to many aspiring photographers I hope words of wisdom. It concerns many, many photographers who are far too concerned and spend too much time looking at and lusting for new equipment. Now I have one, yes just one, camera. A Nikon D700 with a 85mm lens, [...]

Yes, another busy day, Faye has been trying to work on some images though difficult with her ongoing eye problem but she is managing to do some superb work despite the constraints. I have spent most of the day revamping the studio, tidying up in preparation for…… well that’s for later in February! We spoke [...]

Well I say busy, Sunday was for a few hours. We were shooting some new and fresh images for the website of one of Edinburgh’s leading hairdressing salons. Had to lug all the kit with us but thanks to Bowens we had one of their big travel kits which made life a bit easier. However [...]

Today we have some images from our first Superclass at the Convention which was on Portraiture, one of our favourite subjects.

We have been at the annual Convention in London for the last week so that’s the reason for the distinct lack of posts! Normal service should now been resumed. Lots to speak about from last week apart from Faye’s eyesight, my food poisoning and falling out of the shower narrowly missing cracking my skull open [...]

Now I have started something by digging into the archives but though this was an interesting feature from 1992. For 4 years we did all the fashion spreads for Scotlands national newspaper The Scotsman. A wonderful experience working with top hairdressers, MUA’s stylists and journalists not forgetting the models of course. I think that despite [...]

While I was putting some material together for the Convention I delved into several of Faye’s Press Books to select some interesting stories that have appeared in the media over the years about us. I thought this one was very interesting, from the Daily Mail in 1995 where the story led around the fact that [...]
