Lifestyle Portraits

A recent commission by a mum in Swansea wanted me to do a portrait photo session with her teenage children, but to capture them as they wanted to be rather than in a more formal family shoot. So I found out what they liked to do - the guy was a real pro on his saxophone while the girl was a real surfy chick.

We set up a studio in the home for the saxophone shots - I wanted to get some cool blur effects for a montage and needed total control over the light and backdrop. At the other end of the scale, getting some surfy shots wouldn't do in the house, so we popped down to the beach and got some great shots - it was the middle of winter though you'd never know it from the pictures.
