That ^^^ means no flashy logos or daft graphics please!!
Few things...
Apologies for not being around so much currently, lot of stuff going on with me which is really ****ing with my head, and photography (or rather the related online aspect) is suffering because of it. It's not that I've stopped looking in on you, I just, you know...
Secondly, you'll be pleased to note (I hope) that Easter weekend brings three scheduled shoots, and I got an email about 5 mins ago enquiring about another. Massive potential for all things wonderful, but also a bit of pressure on me as I'll be trying a few things which are unknown to me, so I hope I don't cock up. Unfortunately this also brings about the liklihood of a shit load of editing afterwards, which is going to drive me to distraction, but you know, this book won't make itself!
Lastly, just a wee opportunity to mouth off about a particular bugbear of mine. Black and white photos. Common misconception that when a photo's gone average or turned to shit, making it B&W and adding a load of grain makes it good again. Load of crap. The age old addage of 'you can't polish a turd' applies here, and I've become (through practice I might add) a firm believer that in order to take good black and whites, you need to see the image works in colour first, as you've less visual props to hold the photo together.
That little rant has nothing to do with anything really, just popped in my head after uploading this. So here, have a lovely little B&W of Ella and marvel at how drop dead pretty she is! :-)
Wish me luck with the shoots, if you've not heard anything by Tues next week, it all went wrong and I jumped off a bridge! Enjoy your Easter weekend everyone! :-)
