Brian Worley, photographer and trainer

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.

Are you…

Confused by your camera?
Scared of your Speedlite?
Worried by Wi-Fi?

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.

I work with individuals and companies, who book me for 1-2-1 training, workshops and technical articles.

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.

Still confused as to why I had held on to these for so long. It’s time to release Josh in to the wilds of Shropshire with a fresh new edit too.

Took a trip to the BritishMX championship to test

Took a trip to the BritishMX championship to test out vehicle and spot (helmet) tracking with the EOS R6. To help me really check if the helmet was detected I shot a lot of frames wide open on an EF 200mm f/2L IS USM lens.
Let’s just say that my hit rate for “nailed it” focus was over 95% after 3000 frames 😎

One of the first pictures I took after getting the light right. Once again My Little Goth is simply amazing with such a stunning face.
Here I used a Lastolite / Manfrotto Halo diffuser with a hard light behind it as the only light. Those old Hollywood movie guys knew a thing or two about light that works and looks superb.

Alex was a model for a recent client shoot. My first time to work with him and it won’t be the last. What a great look, and great on set. The actual shoot only needed partial views of Alex as he interacted with various products, but I grabbed these shots at the end of the day.
