Studio evening with Hasselblad and the H4D

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 9:02 pm Posted in general studio chat

This evening I was pleased to be accepted to attend a Hasselblad Studio session in Portsmouth where due to the restricted numbers I was able to spend over an hour shooting with the new Hasselblad H4D camera. After a brief period of instruction and some time reviewing the quality of results at a still life area I moved onto a white background studio where I was able to photograph Mia with a variety of lenses. Supported by the knowledgeable and friendly Hasselblad staff I was quickly up to speed with the camera and creating some lovely images .

Children portraits – Framed products

Thursday, February 11, 2010 10:01 am Posted in Products, portraits

We have just delivered some framed products from a recent family portrait session, and I thought I’d post them up here to give some more examples of what our prints look like when they are finished for our clients.

This shoot was for the grandmother of the four children for a significant birthday. The large image in the gold frame was a clear favourite and one of mine as well. It looks stunning framed, and the colours work really well. This is presented as an 18×12″ print in a 24×20″ frame, and was supplied finished and ready for hanging.
