This was taken in my living room using wireless speedlites, fun little project took a few minutes. Was trying for "if Unique Photographers was on a magazine cover" style.
Somerset Photographer Capturing Summer On The Moor
Sometimes I have an idea and before I know it I've captured all the images required and I'm sat in front of the computer bringing it to life.
Others, however, can sometimes sit around in my head for months or at best sketched out in Photoshop, this image is a little of both those.
As a Somerset Photographer over the years, I have been capturing people and animals for a personal project "Life In A Somerset Landscape".
It had been a while since I had added to the work and I really wanted to capture Burrow Hill which is a situated close to Hambridge in South Somerset for part of the project.
I remember seeing Burrow Hill for the first time one summer's day, a quaint small hill with a single tree on top complete with an idyllic rustic swing attached to one of its branches.
It felt slightly surreal like I had stepped into a Jack & Jill Ladybird book!
Burrow Hill and field in the foreground were captured on the same evening but at short distances apart.
The vision for the image I had was I wanted crops in the foreground field which Burrow Hill didn't have.
I found a field close by and after carefully matching lighting angles and camera height etc I had 70 % of the images I required in the bag.
In a previous image in the project titled The Last Harvest, I had captured an Owl called Breeze and I decided I'd like to have another bird as the focal point for the image. bit.ly/2Fz4XP3

This was from a shoot I did with my boyfriends mother. I wanted her model for me because they have similar high cheekbones and strong jaw line but she felt more uncomfortable in front of the camera. To help her relax I played some of her favourite music, let her dog into the shoot room and encouraged her posing so it wouldn't be so awkward.
When looking through my portfolio I noticed there was a high concentration of young women so I needed more age diversity. Jane is 63 years old and looking great. I put her in a red top to contrast against the olive green walls behind her. Her silver wig attracts the eye because its the lightest part of the image.
The image has an almost Cindy Sherman quality to it with the model gazing off camera in a household setting.
Whilst participating in Work Experience within the Photographic Section at R.A.F Waddington, I got the opportunity to go and take photograph’s of the firemen testing a new foam pump they had recently got. I was fifteen at the time and I got to use this enormous camera with a large heavy lens, which I had trouble holding up as I had never used anything like this before, seeing as I have an Olympus E-400. It was initially bought as a starter camera for me at the time, however I still use it today. It is a very light camera and has a small body, so in comparison I felt I was using a ‘real professionals’ camera. I was asked to take ‘dramatic’ photo’s of the firemen and I think I managed to achieve this.
