Timeless Black & White Images...

Interestingly I havent done a lot of B&W images
since the early days of Tyla Images back in 2007.
It's not that I dislike B&W, just that I love bright colourful images & the dramatic spotlit shots that I'm known for.
However I've recently been asked by a couple of clients to produce some B&W images during the designing of their albums.
Now I love a challenge & am really enjoying the selecting & editing process of these albums. I cant just select at random, the images have to fit in context of the album design & compliment the layout to produce a seamless & timeless addition to their albums.
Colour popping is a 'pet hate' of mine but my client asked for it on a detail image (see below) & I happily popped away. in fact I think subtle popping on detail images is fine & looks beautiful but when you start doing it to people??? the images look tacky & faddy & I doubt clients would appreciate you giving them albums that would date in the future?

Storytelling, Subtlety & simplicity
Works for me as an Ethos

Kate & Russell's Wedding...

Congratulations to Kate & Russell on their fantastic wedding on Monday. 

It was fab for me, Jason & Matt (my videographer) to be shooting a wedding so late in the season. I think we had as much fun as the couple did :D

Engagement Shoots Revealed...

So what is the Engagement shoot or Pre shoot as its also known?

well ultimately its meant to be FUN & a chance to get to know my clients & for them to get to know me.

I hate having my picture taken & I'm sure I'm not in a minority so photographers like myself use the pre shoot to prepare our clients for their big day & to show them that having there picture taken is a chance to enjoy themselves & let there hair down.

So where do you go for your pre shoot?
Looking through my hard drive for images to use in this article I've noticed that my best images are the ones where the client chooses the location. Sure it adds more pressure & makes me work harder but thats something I LOVE :)

I encourage clients to choose a location or to give me a brief to find one for them like the image above.
Left to decide for myself I will regularly use a  lovely beach in Barry & its served me well over the years, the relaxed atmosphere of the seaside certainly helps.

So is it a money making scam?
OF COURSE IT IS!
The pre shoots that I offer are free but its also an opportunity to make some print sales or a disc of images, though ultimately it still comes back to fun.

And finally lets not forget that engagements & wedding are very special times in our lives, so wouldn't it be wonderful to have some magical images to remember them by?
