Hi I’m Brian…

I love to help people create better images for themselves, or their business. Ask me for help and training to use your camera, flash or photo software.

A chance to work with @joshentonmodel is not to be missed regardless of the weather and light. It’s just as well that the EOS R6 can focus in the dark though.

When Halloween is just on the horizon it’s time to start gathering your witches for the special night. Once you’ve found a witch, photography is the next challenge. A studio with plain backgrounds needs a little more work. For this I filled the studio with smoke and then got out the green gels to add a little more interesting light.
The hardest part of this was focus, but this is where the new EOS R6 played its trump card. AF that can only be described as witchcraft. Even when I could hardly see across the studio through the smoke, the camera found my witch and nailed the focus right on her eye.

Grabbed a few portraits of Alice after a long day filming some clips for a movie workshop, it was quite refreshing to just concentrate on a frame at a time and be able to turn the camera vertical again.

Coming out of lockdown the world is a very differe

Coming out of lockdown the world is a very different place than it was, but fortunately some familiar beauty is still present. Wow have I missed photographing people SO much. And boy is it such a boost mentally and creatively to be exercising the creative conscience again. Taken at a local trail that I’ve newly discovered while out walking during lockdown.
So good to share the creative process with Emma too. Our first shoot of 2020, was more than photos it was a realisation that life is different yet still beautiful. In the frame @emsyloo24
📸 EOS R with EF135mm f/2L USM, Speedlite 600EX-RT and a Lastolite EzyBox Speed Lite went in to this. Then some colour adaptation in Lightroom

Summer is calling and I’m missing making photos

Summer is calling and I’m missing making photos even more. Bright light, fabulous people to share creative exploits with. But we will get back to it sometime.
So in the spirit of #throwbackthursday here’s a reminder, nay a pointer to better times.
