Location Portraits

I’ve been manically busy during wedding season, but I have managed to upgrade all my location lighting with the purchase of some great studio portrait gear. I did this little shoot a few days ago in my back room for testing purposes. i got some lovely portraits of my eldest daughter Ashleigh and her little […]

Canon 135mm f2L

Wow. This lens is absolutely magic! I’m in love… Super sharp all the way to f2 with a deep buttery depth of field. It allows me to get far enough away from the subject to take great candid shots unnoticed. It’s wide aperture helps in hand held low light shooting, along with the Canon 5D […]
