| A selection of images to enter in the still life category as a series. |
 |
| This is the exterior of the botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. I am considering entering it for Interiors and Exteriors single. |

| A set of images taken at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire. I am thinking of entering for Interiors and Exteriors as a series. |
 |
| I am out and about in during Autumn and Winter with my camera, I have a couple of assignments I would like to get into with regards to landscape, organics and birds. These are just a few wee pics that I have cross processed through digital. |

| Pete Hill. Artist / Blacksmith |
 |
| Pete was happy to pose for a couple of editorial portraits this morning. He is part of a very creative team at Ratho Forge in Edinburgh. The iron and metal work is well worth a look. You may even spot some pieces you recognise from in and around Edinburgh. www.rathobyresforge.co.uk |

| Mum and Jess. While out walking and having a recce for a location shoot in the morning, I decide to try out more of the same moody background with flash. It has been raining constantly for two days, hello the long Scottish winter! |
 |
| I couldn't tell you what this building is!! On my way up to St Andrews attempting some landscape shoots yesterday. I do know that this is in Fife, on the coast, in a very uneventful town called... ? I wasn't keen to find out. |

| My partners in crime Eoin and Carole. We dived out of class to practice underexposing background, ambient light with flash. This shot was edited black and white and blended with the colour master for extra darkness. |
 |
| Some studio practice with the bruv. Take in turn portraits, me shot by Graeme and Graeme shot by me. Simples! |

 |
| Lucy and Lee in the Pablo Studio in Kidderminster. Whilst working with Pablo Productions in mid October, I squeezed this little studio shoot in. I have way too many to chose from of the set, here are few wee tasters. These guys are both lovely to photograph. |
 |
| A Sunday afternoon shooting in and around Spitalfield Market in Shoreditch. Derlee modeled, Monia styled and manned the flash. We managed to squeeze 5 looks out of one girl thanks to ASOS.com and our styling efforts. The theme was bright colour blocks. The girls did amazing and we had loads of fun! |
 |
On the road to St Andrews last Sunday morning. I am going to take the trip again super early next week to capture more and take my time about it. The mist was amazing.  |
 |
| An afternoon spent in Brighton with my boy last Monday. We enjoyed the quiet Pier, fish and chips on the beach, this stunning sun set and finished up with desert at an American diner. I could live down here! |

| 'I heart Mon' Lit with a bike light! |
 |
| This was also lit with a bike light! Photography - Painting with light, what ever it may be. |
 |
| It is impossible for me to turn up without taking sly snaps of the details, the visuals that sum up the atmosphere... from my view point anyway. A really cool, relaxed, vibrant scene at Somerset House. I could have mooched there for days. Looking forward to next season. |

| One of the models begins her own walk show. |
 |
| The audience look on... impressed? |
 |
| This was Amanda's grand finale. The dress was top to toe (to the floor) a metal wonder. |
 |
| After shooting indoors with harsh shadows (see previous post) we head outside to try on more lighting styles. This was more close up with Monia trying a cigarette on after giving up for more than 6 months. She didn't take many more drags as she confirmed she still hated smoking! I decided to merge this together on a whim from the few photographs in this style. |
 |
| Monia indoors at No 6. The shadows where created with an un-diffused cranked up speedlight at head height to the right. Another speedlight with diffusing umbrella was placed above her head pointing down. Both lights were less that a meter away from her. I love the deliberate harsh shadows, there is way more to play with using this technique. |
 |
| Having a play with some branding and adding graphics. The idea was to use the shoot for a sunglasses ad. This is a start but I think the photograph is losing its presence slightly against the advertising. I am looking through tones of ads to find a balance in the product and the advertising. It is so varied! |
