Wedding Photographer Cornwall, Devon, London

studio and location portrait shoot – Menheniot – Liskeard – Cornwall

Last Sunday afternoon, the Howard family, from Dobwalls, Wales & Cambridge got together for a family portrait shoot in my studio at Menheniot. I tend to use the local village hall for studio shoots, purely because of the large space to work in, not many studios are well over the size of a tennis court in length. The beauty of such a long building is the ability to be able to shoot from much further away and use my second favourite lens, namely by 70-200 f/2.8. The distance also, I believe, gives the family, couples, or other clients a more relaxed experience because I am not right in their face with a camera.

Wedding Photographer in Hannover, Germany

As some of you may know, I have been stuck in Hannover, Germany for the past week. Whilst travelling from Kassel (Western Germany) towards Berlin (East Germany), we stopped in Hannover, for what was intended to be a couple hours. Seven days later we are still here. The set back has been fairly depressing in a business city with very little to do. A trip in planning for well over a year and after 4 great days on the road it all came crashing to and end beacuse of a computer fault with my van. However a couple of days ago my normal optimistic self came back and I decided to make the most of the hand I had been dealt.

My initial intention was to shoot portraits of people in Hannover, as I´m the first to admit, landscpaes, animals, street documentary, e.c.t, quickly bores me, I really like to work with people in creating pictures, and although I have got a couple portraits, which I will post at a later date, I found myself shooting thease pictures of and around a river.

All the pictures (apart from the long distance path picture) are shot at f/1.4 on my 50mm. This technique is what gives the images a slightly unique look, and of course the water reflections which would only be possible on such a flattly lit day. I returned today for another look and amongst the harsh sunlight in the woodland area the pleasing look I achieved yesterday was gone.

I hope you like, something a little differnt than my normnal stuff, just killing time in Hannover.

a shoot with ‘Wed Magazine’

Last month myself and Andy were back on the case to produce some imagery for the ever growing Wed Mag Devon. The shoot was arranged by Andy and the team at Wed Mag and despite a very showery day in North Devon which put Andy’s first idea on standby, we soon came up with a Plan B which worked very well. The flagship picture of this idea was for our model (Cody) to stand up in a small wooden boat in the middle of a pond. Why not we thought? – Striving for something a little different.

Feminine Beauty

A look forward at 2011

During 2010 I worked closely with Wedding & Fashion Photographer Andy Green of Harrera Images (www.harreraimages.co.uk). In this time I learnt a lot about wedding photography, so much so that this friendship and freelance work will become a much bigger part of my life in August 2011. In August I plan to become an employee of Harrera Images & Purita Picture Agency (www.puritapictureagancy.com) as a photographer, designer, networker and many other business tasks.

Despite this, I will still be continuing my present portrait photography as well as photographing a handful of weddings outside of Harrera Images. Here are a few portrait images from the later part of this year:

Edward, lit with a single Bowens 1000 Esprit light.

Jenna Snowdon, lit the same as above on a 50mm 1.4 wide open.

Alex & Amber shot at 200mm at f/4 on Downderry Beach using the ambient light on the beach.

This portrait work will continue this year with my Studio, Home & Location Portrait shoots available throughout the year. For more info please see: http://www.barneywalters.com/barneywalters/Portraits.html

As for personal projects in 2011, I intend to create a range of images inspired by the idea of Fine Art Portraiture, mainly presented in monochrome, black and white. A key photographic inspiration for this stem of work comes from photographer Damien Lovegrove, another from Andy Green of Harrera Images, these few images come from http://www.prophotonut.com/ :
