Its been ages since my last project so here it is! These were shot in a few places during my trip to the UK. I cant write too much at the moment as I am still busy editing wedding assignments. I haven't even had enough time to sort the photos from my trip but I hope to put them up here soon. I was going to post this on Halloween but I will be away so I hope you enjoy the photos!

I went through my archive and decided that I wanted to dig up some photos from a shoot done about three years ago. It gave me a chance to go through photos that I may have missed out and give them the look that I actually wanted to at the time but did not know how. I shot these with my old faithful Canon EOS 1000D with the EF-S 18-55mm kit lens. Lighting was done with a lot of help from Mahira holding up a reflector. The shots remind me of how extremely hot the location was.
Credits to Nadine for not even complaining about it as much as we were.
Lol.
Try to get the best out of your equipment; be it a cheap or expensive camera by learning its functions in depth. Once you know what you're doing, you can concentrate all your efforts on making great pictures. I have always considered technique and execution to play an important role in photography. It ties the other important factors like lighting, subject, and background of a photograph together.
No amount of editing in Photoshop can turn a badly taken photo into something even worthy of a professional standard. It is important to put more effort into getting everything right straight out of the camera first, and then use Photoshop to complete the look of the image if you must. I tend to envision my edits even before the shoot. Editing is part of the creative process, it depends on what the photographer wants to achieve.
I finally completed what I originally set out to do with the photos from this shoot. These are 19 photos lined up together in an animation using photoshop.
Another photo from the previous shoot. The poses were actually inspired by a Nike ad involving some of the Spanish football players. I have no idea what the ad was called though. I haven't had much to do recently. Been staying home and I seem to be the only one who hasn't gotten sick.
Here is a composite photo of many Bernards from a recent shoot. This is meant to be part of a series so there will be more to come (hopefully). I have been delaying this post for ages because I need more time to continue the series (which I still do).
The light setup was simple. A single flash bounced on the left side of the camera for the portrait shots. Post processing took a few hours because of... you guessed it. Isolating the subject from the background and adding them to another one. It doesn't matter to me because you're not going to achieve quality if you're not willing to go that extra mile.
