Assisting with the Leonie Photoshoot

Today I had the opportunity to assist a friend who is a great photographer just to get an insight to see what he does during a shoot, it’s all about learning isn’t it? …and about having fun! His name is Keigo and his website can be found at (www.keigokato.co.uk). He uses flash quite a lot for his photography and I was keen to learn what he does and to pick up some tips.

The model for the day was Leonie who pestered Keigo to do the photoshoot and hence me ending up tagging along for the ride. Here is the man himself:

I took the photo’s in this series and wish to thank Keigo for allowing me to tag along and learn some valuable tips, and Leonie for being a great sport and allowing me to join in and take some shots as well. All shots were taken around the London Bridge area and I was incredibly surprised that we were not stopped by any security officials or police at any time during our shoot. It all went really well!

I’ve seen some cool things that could be done with flash and though I am more into natural light photography, I’m definitely am going to get a flash unit and start experimenting with it!

Anna Photoshoot

Well, I’m making a commitment to take as many portrait shots of my friends as possible over the next few months and in what spare time that I have available. Things are a bit crazy a the moment with some family stuff and also a new baby on the way (can’t wait!). But true to this, I managed to setup a photo shoot with a good friend of mine, Anna.

Cat

I’m not really know as an animal lover but my friend has this lovely female cat that just looks so feminine (if that is possible)! The cat is quite cute I admit. Anyway, whilst I was over there to shoot a portrait I managed to get a few photos of the cat, here they are.

Ali portraits

Here are a series of portraits of my wife Ali, taken over a period of weeks when I had my camera with me when we were out and about. These are some of my earlier efforts and is an ongoing project (:-)

London Night Walk

Living in London has one of it’s advantages, there are so many things to photograph. I fancied trying something a little different and ended up joining a group of fellow photographers for an all-night walk along the river. Here are a few images from the night.
