Some of the common media formats include

• The Internet

I can offer a range of package deals, providing you with a high quality selection of images for your concept. I am happy to assist with artistic direction to develop your idea or to follow a brief to achieve your goal.
Cornwall, where I generally photograph, also offers a huge selection of outdoor locations to consider in your concept. I am a great believer in natural light. It offers a genuine quality that is hard to simulate in a studio, with gentle tones and texture enhanced in the light.

Product photography

Here is another example of some product photography, I thought I would share with you. My last product photoghraph was of a model car (follow the link for a nose).

The image was made to sell my partners bracelet (Its not work requested by Tiffany & Co!). I took a few images for an eBay listing. I wanted a nice bright image, showing the white metal off to its best. I used a lighting tent and a sun flower for the photograph – as you can see!!

Lighting was achived with an off camera strobe, camera left, flashing through the side of the lighting tent, to soften the effect of the light on the subject. A few test shots were made, to balance the light, then the final few shots made.

If you have anything you would like photographed for brochures, web sites or adverts, please give me a call or send an email and we can chat about your requirements…

Sun flower stock photograph

Stock photography

I am starting a new stock photography portfolio at Fotolia – you can see my stock images here. The portfolio is building and should be well into the hundreds in a few months. I have other images else where that do very well on a stock basis, however learning the requirements of each stock site take a bit of time. It is amazing also how certain image types sell better on different sites – It is a fast learning curve.

Quality stock photography is a challenge. You need very high quality images, lit perfectly with a good depth of field. You needed to get the image right in camera with minimal tweaking in photo-shop. Strong colourful images work well, with images portraying health and vitality being some of the most popular.
