Portraiture is a genre that I have a deep passion for. Whether it is using natural light, or artificial light, there is something special about working with an individual, or a group, to capture their moment in time that will last forever.
I see each photo session as an opportunity for me to convey the emotions, beauty, and character, of the subject, through the lens of the camera.

The lights of a Christmas tree, are always make a good background for a portrait.
The image was taken using:
This large aperture gave a lovely bokeh to the Christmas tree lights.
Tip: If I had used an aperture size of f/14 or smaller then the Christmas lights would have become like star bursts

All images for the photoshoot were captured in studio, using 2 rim lights and a key light fitted with an octagonal soft box.
The key light was positioned in front of the model at 45deg facing down to give a butterfly lighting effect.

The Seymour photoshoot - April 2024
The Seymour's had never had a photoshoot before. They were very happy with the result of the shoot.
A collage from five of their favourite images were printed onto a large transparent acrylic frame, which they now proudly hang on their lounge wall.
