Quite recently I had this enormous pleasure to photograph this beautiful wedding venue in Auron, Provance.  This is one shot that I like in particular as it is of the children- my favourite subject." We want to be in the picture!" the flower girl said.
The light in Provance is very bright and everything around is burnt by it. The grass is yellow and it causes strong shadows. Shade of the branches gives dark spots on the skin. But thankfully there was this little group of trees aside of the hotel just right for the bunch of little people in bright clothes.That was my first wedding shot on that day! First time in such a blast of light. And a darkened church. White balance! So look around before you start shooting there has to be a spot you can drag all the guests to.

I am preparing a photo book from the wedding and will upload the samples soon!

Today I had a pleasure to take few images of baby boy J. I made a trip to Wicklow and I knew it was going to be good. But on arrival I realised I am not only going to do the baby shoot, but also a huge chestnut family friend Roxy wanted to be in the frame, seeking my attention and licking the camera lens!!! Surprise surprise! :)

It's been raining again. But nevertheless I was shooting this little munchkin in Greystones. Usually I would use the natural light in the backyard. But it was impossible today and the girl was unsettled and a little bit impatient but as soon she jumped into the car she gave me this fantastic expression! It is always a little bit challenging to shoot trough the glass, mind all the other reflections not to mention raindrops that reflect light in their own special way! 
The glass is bouncing and reflecting ambient light outdoors like crazy! I attempted this shot few times before with my manual/film camera!   I used a very low ISO for the conditions and still got the sharp eye catching the light!

The weather was very miserable for the past few weeks in Dublin so I've been hiding in the studio with various models and props. Lots of fun but mostly a great experience. I have learnt a lot and have some advice if you are interested... Dear Reader.

1. If you are planning a session with kids always ALWAYS make sure that they have been fed before and that you have a reliable assistant to keep them away from the wires and leads - if there are no parents available of course. Also you need a lots of props: toys, food, hats, dresses etc...For entertainment!
2. Make sure that they  do understand what you expect from them before going into the studio, stick to your plan but also leave the space for wonders and their own initiative. They are gonna love it!
3. Being firm but not strict helps. Let them feel comfortable around you and the camera.


Today I would like to share a special surprise that has been created for my own YouTube channel! It is stunningly done and  is all about studio photography- my most recent work.
