Product Photography – Ghosted Mannequin Effect
Really good product photography is hard, and good clothing photography, particularly when it is not worn by a model, is very hard.

Another great photographic opportunity is a race meet on a Sunny day. It offers the colourful jockeys, the movement of the horses at full pelt and the the people in the crowds. People shooting is a pleasure at these events as people study the form and confer on their choices. Then there is the excitement [...]
Oxford certainly has its fair share of museums, most of which are free to visit and all of which (in my experience) are photographer friendly.
Another European destination that seems to be made for enthusiastic photographers. Brugge, in Belgium is one of the most picture perfect cities I’ve visited. Every street, building and square seems to have been constructed to be framed by the camera. We were in Brugge well after the end of the tourist season but still managed [...]
We went to town when we put together our Halloween pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern’s last year, and it means that we are going to have to do something even better for this years Halloween photography.
Snowshill in the north end of The Cotswolds near Stow On The Wold is a picturesque little village. Having taken a couple of HDR photographs recently, I am posting this one as it is not HDR and shows what you can get when everything transpires to give you the right light at the right time. [...]
Churchill Village, at the northern edge of the Cotswolds, close to Chipping Norton, Stow-on-the-Wold, Daylesford and Kingham hosts a bi-annual Classic Car Show that has grown into something of an event on the classic car calendar. The 2010 event was lucky enough to gauge the weather perfectly and attracted over 465 cars and over 3,000 [...]
I took advantage of Trey Ratcliff’s invitation to join him for a photo walk while he was in London last Friday. Trey is the leading name in HDR photography and has taken the process from the oversaturated, overprocessed method that people all too often misused to make an average shot look better, to getting HDR photography into the Smithsonian
You just can’t beat the light in the South Of France. Over a very long weekend on France’s south coast, I found once again that pointing the camera anywhere during the daytime produces remarkable results, and pointing it and holding it steady at night does just as well. This was also a great destination to [...]
I got to take this Self Portrait in the recently refurbished Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. A section of the museum has a wall made of glass that has been engraved with the names of those people that have donated to the museum. Like most photographers, I’m not one for getting in front of the camera, [...]
