Fine Art Portrait Photography Berkshire – Alice Luker Model Ascot

Main Website Portrait Photographer Berkshire

I love creating beautiful fine art portraits and taking photographs that are ideal for professional publicity and are perfect as presents for close friends and distant relatives.

These are some of the photographs from a photoshoot with two photography students; Alice was the model and Maria was my assistant photographer.

We produced both fashion and portrait photographs using dramatic lighting effects and poses. Some photographs where taken as ‘implied nude’ so that there were no distractions from clothes, leaving just the model, her hair and the lighting to create the picture pure and simple.

Model Portfolio | Bracknell Photo Shoot with Georgina Kuhl

Posted on March 30, 2009 at 1:13 pm

Georgina Khul Model Berkshire These are the results from a portrait photography shoot in Bracknell, Berkshire. I used it to develop and improve posing, lighting and photography techniques as well as to extend my portrait portfolio.

Here are examples of other Model Portfolio Photoshoots.

Some of the photographs are taken with natural light from a large window on the other side of the room, some with flashguns, umbrellas and a white backdrop, backlit by two remote vivitar flashguns and some are lit by a combination of ambient tungsten light with colour, filtered flash bounced off a reflector and the camera colour corrected. All of this was taken in a room using the portable studio.

The photographs were enhanced in Photoshop with the aim of creating beautiful images that could be hung on a wall.

View the rest of the Portrait photographs from the session in Bracknell, Berkshire.

Portraits Using Natural Window Light

Light from a window can give an amazing, soft light for portraits and produce beautifully tender photographs.

Unlike in a studio, you move the camera position to change effect of the lighting. Starting with the camera between the model and the window, move in a semi circle to behind the model. This will change from no shadows to total shadow. The position of the camera determines how much of the model is in shadow. Continue reading Portraits Using Natural Window Light…

About John Wood – Portrait and Wedding Photographer Berkshire

Posted on February 10, 2009 at 9:40 am

Website: John Wood Photography
I am a full-time professional photographer based in Ascot but am open to working anywhere.

My passion is taking photographs of people that they appreciate and want to have. I have been doing this since 1977 when I was given my first camera. For you cameraphobes, I now use a Nikon D300 with 50mm 85mm and 18-200mm lenses.

Over the years I have given audio visual slides shows with dual projectors (that is going back a bit now) and more recently created the modern equivalent in mpeg format. I have also dabbled in video editing of events with multiple cameras.

I take all sorts of photographs from Passports to Fine Art to Commercial Portraits and also enjoy the event side of photography such as Weddings, Parties and Events. I started doing this professionally full-time in 2008, just before the credit crunch!!!

I am married with two sons and am a recent Grandad and therefore have a new model for my camera.

John Wood Photography – Family Portraits Bracknell

Technical Portrait Information: The SB800 was fired into an Umbrella (3ft) on the left with a reflector on the right and the SB600 high/behind giving highlights to the hair.

A fan was used to blow the air and the Camera Nikon D300 was connected by USB to a laptop so the images could be seen clearly. A Sigma 10-20mm lens was used for the distortion effects.

An old Vivitar flash was used to light the background fired by optical remote, now replaced with wireless remotes.

How to Pose – Which clothes?

The clothes you wear always create an impact so it is good to have a variety to choose from on a shoot because you never know what impact you might want to create on the day.
