At the very least it allows me to get everything ready, calm down a little and think about the job in hand. Calm down?

Black and White Beach Photography is just one of the many subjects I love to photograph using B&W film. My fine art work is taken with an old manual Leica rangefinder and a hand held light meter. To me this is the purest way to capture subject, light and texture. There was a point in my life where I stood firm and stated I would never go "digital". But as I learned more about the software and it's capabilities, it has now become a "tool" for the final image in my creative process. My chosen software is Adobe Photoshop. As a black and white nature and street photographer based in NYC, access to darkrooms is limited. I didn't have the flexibility I needed to work on my photographs. So I developed...

p>Many services clearly belong in the repeat business category. Fast food is an example of this. Others clearly belong in the one time client or customer category.

To put it simply, a landscape shot refers to scenery captured from one point of view. There are usually no children or animals or other objects in it, just scenery, like a sunset or mountain range. Once in a while, an animal or object may be used for composition or as a means of displaying scale and perspective. However, more often than not, it is just a view of the outside. Purists argue that pictures of the sea coast or the ocean, or pictures of man-made structures are not landscapes. A picture of the coast is a seascape while that of a city would rightfully be called a cityscape. Any picture dominated by terrain or natural land is therefore a landscape. There are three kinds of landscapes...

As a wedding photographer in Liverpool and Manchester I have found it is an integral part of the wedding day and reception. These pictures will be important throughout a lifetime.

Maternity photography, like any other type of photography, is what we make of it. As photographers, we have almost unlimited options for creating unique and amazing photos: lighting, filters, background and setting all give us endless opportunities, yet I've noticed that many maternity photos look rather pedestrian and cliche. Pregnancy is a special time in a woman's life, and the maternity photos that you take should reflect that. Don't be afraid to go beyond the ubiquitous hands-forming-a-heart-over-her-belly shot and do something different. While your model will let you know what she's comfortable with and how conservative (or daring) she wants to be, you can make suggestions and help to...
