Business Photography for camera-shy professionals

A few people have said to me recently they don’t

A few people have said to me recently they don’t think you can take photos in the fog, but there’s really no reason not to: you just need to be aware of the lighting and what you need to do to highlight your subject. These are just some of the things we have been discussing in my Photo Skills for Camera Confidence online sessions.

So if you are interested in improving your photography to take beautiful, eye-catching photos, please do get in touch.

Shoutout to Tom @askabaqus who carried on regardless of the unexpectedly foggy weather and ran up and down the hills as many times as I asked, without breaking a sweat! 😆

Whilst I know that things are not all hearts and roses for most people, I’m sending you love and happiness on Valentine’s Day, wherever you are and however you are spending today 💜

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day in any way? We both gave each other books, wrapped in the same left over from Christmas wrapping paper! Truly romance is not dead! 🤣

It’s Blue Monday today. However I have just found out that Blue Monday was invented by a travel company for marketing purposes without doing any studies on it (Thanks @mentorkaye ! 😃) So actually we don’t need to be blue at all! Good news! 💃🏼

Have you put your heart and soul into creating and developing your own unique products that people who have tried them absolutely love? But then when you want to spread the word and get those products out to more people you find the photos you have taken just don’t do them justice or show how wonderful they are.

I can help by creating beautiful photos that really appeal to your market. Fortunately, I am still able to continue product photography under lockdown as items can be delivered to me.

This is Judith Humphreys’ amazing soothing balm for babies.

Interesting looking back over this strange old yea

Interesting looking back over this strange old year of 2020! I went into the year with the mantra - don't sweat the small stuff 😌. Honestly I haven't always achieved that, but it's a time when along with many others I have realised that some things are important and a lot of things really are not. The key is working out which is which 🤷🏻‍♀️.

This is my top nine for 2020

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 Hope you are having lots of festive fun and the current conditions haven’t affected your enjoyment. For me, I am so lucky as this is a much better Christmas than last year 😊

Just scoffing some home-made fig and orange stollen with home-made marzipan 😋

Things don’t always turn out as planned. When we discussed the photoshoot, we decided on Haresfield Beacon to show some of the beautiful views in the background. As you can see, when we got there, I could hardly see my hand in front of my face for the fog! I do even recall saying beforehand that you can get really nice early morning light at this time of the year 😆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so impressed that Tom @askabaqus was completely unfazed and carried on regardless! Fortunately the weather did clear a little and provided a nice backdrop so we were able to get some great shots. Photos of Tom to follow…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Has anything you planned in your business turned out differently than you expected? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Apart from seeing family and friends (obviously!) I really miss being able to go to the library under lockdown. Particularly our lovely local friendly Minchinhampton Community Library. I am re-reading a lot of my old books though.

Is there anything you are missing under lockdown?

From one of my favourite recent shoots with the amazing @thewillwritingyogi ❤️ #yogasunset
#sunsetphotography #yogainspiration

Eunice is such an inspiration with her deep knowledge of everything related to will writing as well as the flexibility and strength of her yoga practice and teaching.

I had an idea that the best way of showing off Eunice’s amazing strong yoga poses would be to photograph her against an open air backdrop during sunset. Preplanning was so important as both location and timing were critical. So I scouted out the perfect spot high up on Rodborough Common, where the view was magnificent. We were able to go straight there and not miss any of the beautiful sunset, which was an absolute gift.

I love it when a plan works out!

Have any of your plans come together recently?

I’m so lucky to have good friends! Earlier in the season, @breadbakerdani invited me to pick raspberries in her garden and it was like raspberry heaven - beautiful ripe raspberries just fell in my hands! ❤️ In fact I picked so many that we couldn’t eat them all at once and we froze some. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So now I have some lovely raspberries to eat. What shall I make with them - raspberry and almond cake, jam, summer pudding? What would you make? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s fabulous when a client loves her photos - (thanks Jane @cotswold_softfurnishings 💚) but even better when her web designer goes out of his way to say he has just uploaded her photos and they are just what you need for portraits for a website - so natural, engaging and warm 😍. #interiordesigner #warmsmile #natural⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This sweet little fluffy robin came to keep me company in the garden yesterday. Of course it wasn’t really there because it enjoyed my company, it was actually foraging for insects and grubs that I had dug up. Robins always seem so friendly though, I can’t help liking them and they always make me smile when I see them. #robin #wildlife

How about you? What is making you smile at the moment?

Like many people, I have been sorting through the cupboards to find all those forgotten things hiding at the back. I was hoping for some wine but what I actually found was a few tiny little bottles of liqueur, including some Kiwi fruit liqueur. So what else to do but make cakes with it! #kiwifruits #cakes #homemade⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love it when a plan comes together! Just over a year ago we had planned out what we wanted in our new flowerbed and were just planting it up. Now it’s looking great and I really love how the colour of the Echinaceas contrasts with the Salvias. #EchinaceaPurpureaRainbowMarcella

I am really thankful to have a lovely garden throughout these months. What are you thankful for at the moment?
