For ages Darryn has been wanting me to do shots of him and since I have no shots of guys in my portfolio I thought why not. Anyway eventually we both managed to find some time when we were both free to do a shoot.
The shoot was a laugh, as it was always going to be with Darryn, he’s not exactly camera shy. Also did some shots of Darryn with his friend Robyn and Gemma, which I’m sure I will upload later when I get around to working on them.
I’m quite pleased with what I have achieved with these shots. Think I’m happier with the monochrome shots than the ones in colour that I did. Wasn’t my best idea to get Darryn to wear a white shirt when we were shooting against a white background, oh well lesson learned.

I did my first “baby” shoot the other week, one of my work friends wanted some photos of their new baby son (James John Clifton-Sprigg) who is only a few months old.I thought it would be a good opportunity to add something different to my portfolio.
Baby photography can be difficult because it really is about capturing the moment, you rarely get a second chances to retake a shot with very young children. I was very lucky that James was so good he pretty much just posed and didn’t seem too fussed about the camera flashing away at him.
I managed to get some nice indoor shots of him, but also did some outside with his parents to get a few good family shots.
