I had rented Studio 1720 for a portrait session, lights prepped and camera ready — but my client didn’t show. So, I became my own subject.
Shot with my Sony A7R V and 50mm f/2.5 G, this image captures a spontaneous self-portrait that turned into a creative experiment. The lighting setup was originally designed for a professional headshot, but what emerged instead was an introspective portrait about patience, solitude, and the art of showing up — even when no one else does.
This is inside Bristol Cathedral, Taken on a photography weekend with my friend Leo Smith.
The cathedral was only a few mins walk from the hotel. We we only had an hour at this location, and were delighted on entering the cathedral to find the morning sun bursting though the windows into the dusty air. It realy did look as dramatic as this in real life too!

11 Days to wander the northern part of Norway on my own with only my camera and a rental car to keep my company. It was a magnificent road trip that took me to the tip of Lofoten, into the winding fjords of Senja, and through the surrounding fjords. The weather was challenging most days, but also delivered incredible natural light.
I photographed this last Saturday. It is a fence which starts along the road and stops under water. In the barbwire there were all kinds of deteriorated things hanging in the wind, this is all filtered out of the water. The fence itself, it's rusty and old it is absolutely in decay.
Not just a beautiful woman, she stands in the field not as a symbol, but as a reminder— of the families who rise before dawn, who coax life from soil and weather, who feed cities from landscapes often overlooked.
This image honours the quiet endurance of farming communities,
whose labour sustains nations, whose stories rarely make headlines, but whose presence is felt in every meal, every season, every storm weathered.”
In this picture the bull rider, who has been thrown from the bull, limps off stage right while the life-savers put themselves between him and the bull. These guys used to be called bull fighters, but I guess the new title is more appropriate. This ended well as the bull ended up turning away. If these guys were in a bar with bull riders, I doubt they'd ever have to buy a drink.

Strong sunlight and a dark sky add drama to this view of the County Bridge and castle ruins, Barnard Castle, Teesdale.
I wanted to do a black and white image with harsh lighting because I enjoy playing around with light. I also did a color version of the picture using a small soft box for contrast. I suspect most folks will prefer the color version which I will post tomorrow.
This is a small wooden statue (about 5 inches tall) that I lit from the side with a bare YN560-III on the lft side about 3 feet away from camera left. Fill light came from a small hand mirror at camera right. With lighting, the smaller the light source and the farther it is from the subject, the harder the light. The light was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other black and white images that I've done are in my cleverly titled Black and White album.

Did some more studio and outdoor portrait work last night at the Art Gallery of Burlington with models on both ends of the age scale!
Starting with a young ballerina who I had previously done portraits of, and finishing with a slightly older gentleman, who I opted for a close up grittier style with.
I used my tripod to create this image. I was hoping I had enough time for the long exposure time I needed. Well as you see I had enough time :-)
Dramatic light highlights the architecture of Prague, from the Gothic Our Lady before Tyn church to the infamous Communist broadcasting tower.
Prague has been a political, cultural, and economic centre of central Europe with waxing and waning fortunes during its 1,100-year existence. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic and Renaissance eras, Prague was not only the capital of the Czech state, but also the seat of two Holy Roman Emperors.
My beautiful friend T took this photo.
As you can see she is stunning and the photo came out beautiful!
So I thought I would bite the idea for this week's HBCCT ;)
So Happy Big Cushy "Bed" Tuesday!!

A regional jet lifts off into the last light over Northwest Arkansas. Sometimes the sky steals the whole show. All you can do is keep up and press the shutter.

This was a night shot taken at Canyon Creek Ranch as part of a 12 hour workshop put on by the Arizona Professional Photographers Association. As part of the workshop, actors/ models were there in period costumes. The actor in the doorway of the church is Greg Wildman who was in character as Milo, a member of the Clanton Maclaury gang.
This was taken after the sun had set, and we used long exposures (I was at 3 seconds) while one of the instructors did light painting on the exterior of the church using an LED flashlight, and a dim light inside the church provided the backlighting. I love the dramatic look of this, and having the model light up a cigarette to create smoke was brilliant on the part of the instructor.
Other images that I took during the day long workshop at Canyon Creek Ranch are in my Canyon Creek Ranch Album.

Confidence doesn’t whisper, it walks straight into the spotlight. This series captures strength wrapped in charm, blending athletic poise with a playful wink. Clean lighting, sculpted highlights, and a bold star motif create a modern pin-up energy with contemporary polish.
