Hi I’m Brian…

I love to help people create better images. Ask me for help and training to use your camera, flash or photo software. I work with individuals and companies, who book me for online and face-to-face 1-2-1 training , workshops and technical articles.

p4pictures.com is the place to find a solution to your photo problems. I’ve spent over 20 years building my knowledge. This means I convert the many pages of instruction manuals in to practical, better ways for you to make pictures.

Stuck with a burning question? #askBrian

I thrive on questions, as they provide a way for me to help you. Answering questions here helps other photographers too.

With the outdoor people photo season open in the UK it was time to angle the camera in Emma’s direction once again. We were pleased to have the sunshine and a few “extras” providing background interest to the shot too 🐮. In the frame Emma / @emsyloo24 Canon EOS R5 with RF 28-70mm F2L USM lens

One of my first shoots with the Canon RF 28-70mm F

One of my first shoots with the Canon RF 28-70mm F2L USM lens was in a converted church in South Wales. Looking at the photos I liked what I saw but not enough to convince me that if ever get the lens myself. Now I realise that the EOS R with early firmware really wasn’t up to matching the capabilities of the lens Model Ally EOS R - 1/125s f/2 ISO 200

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs
Dances on the edge of his dream
And her voice rings in his ears
Like the music of the spheres Truly an epic day of “work” with Xanthe Rose & Nick in the New Forest. Absolutely must do it again soon

We may have blue skies outside but this was taken in darker times where I used blue lights on the wall of a concrete road tunnel.
Scary that it is almost 70 days since my last shoot with a person!
So here’s a scary picture of Justin taken one afternoon when the wind was so strong that I not only had two sandbags on my light stand, but also tied the softbox to a metal railing to stop it being moved out of position by the wind 💨
