Studio diary of Fareham, Hampshire based photographer - Mike French
This afternoon was dedicated to shooting some contemporary family portraits in the run up to Christmas. All done in the fashionable high key style I covered not only the full family groups but some individuals portraits of the children as well. All of the families were from Hampshire with most being in the Hill Head, Stubbington and Locksheath areas.
Today I got to photograph a wonderful newborn baby girl of only four weeks in a contemporary studio setup.
One of my clients from earlier this year returned for another portrait session today. This time it was for a business portrait.
This morning I had another series of portrait sessions with local toddlers and children with our contemporary white background set.
Rhinefield House was the location for todays pre-wedding shoot with Rosie and Scott who are getting married there later in the year.
We visited a local pre-school to take their pre-christmas portraits for what must be the 4th year now. As is usual for this session we worked on a white backdrop giving clean images of the children, which works well for these mini-sessions and also for unpredictable toddlers !
Commercial photography shoot today at a leisure club in Hampshire. As well as the bar, restaurant and reception area I also shot the squash and tennis courts, weights room, gym, fitness/dance studio, steam room, and the snooker room.
We spent yesterday on location for a portrait session at out local Hampshire beach here at Hill Head with a lovely family. Shooting a mixture of natural moments as the family played in the sand and explored and then some relaxed portraits as the sun gently dipped casting a warm glow across the stones.
