Family lifestyle shoot at Southwold.

A few weeks ago I was booked by Chris and Claire for a family lifestyle shoot over at Southwold. I first met Chris around 3 years ago at a networking meeting. He is a Director at one of Norfolk's largest web design agencies called Netmatters. (If you are looking for a web design firm who really knows their stuff these are the guys to talk to!)

I had only ever been to Southwold once before, just one of those places that slips off my radar a little, so it was great to go somewhere different. 

We started off at a little cafe at the end of the pier, where we chatted about what they wanted to achieve from the morning over a cup of tea and a bacon roll. :) It also gave me an opportunity to engage with little Isaac so he was more comfortable being around me.

We started the shoot down by the harbour which was a great little spot and this gave us lots of different areas to work in. We then finished the session off by heading down to the beach. It was a great morning and we got some great images.

If you would like to talk to me regarding a lifestyle shoot for your family please do get in touch. Just because the weather is getting colder, doesn't mean we can't do it, we can get some great images whatever the weather! 
Lifestyle family shoots start from £150 including a disc of all final images in high resolution so that you can print them and share them with the family. Gift vouchers are also available.
Feel free to give me a call on 07833491550 or email me at smile@jamesnealephotography.com

Here are a few of my favourite images from the shoot.

Business Portrait shoot for Cabins Unlimited.

I was asked by the directors of leading log cabin supplier, Cabins Unlimited, if I would shoot a series of business portraits for them. They wanted to add images of themselves to their website, and also to use in future marketing materials and press releases.

Beginners Guide to Black and White Photography

Shooting black and white images isn't as easy as you may think. Because you have no colour to draw attention to certain parts of the image, you will have to think more about your final image to make sure it stands out. Below are some of my top tips to think about when shooting black and white.

Shoot Raw- If your camera allows it, shoot RAW, again the benefits in post production are huge. There you will be able to fine tune shadows and highlights etc. You will also be able to turn your camera to Black and white mode so that you can see the image on the screen. Because you are shooting RAW, you will be able to switch the image back to colour should you wish to do so at a later date.

Composition- Since colour is not available to draw the viewers eye into the photo, the use of shapes, textures and patterns is key to ensuring your image ‘flows’.

Contrast- Without colour, photography relies on the difference between light and dark to convey a powerful image. Look out for shadows and highlights Try shooting light subjects against dark backgrounds and dark subjects against light backgrounds.

Watch your Backgrounds- If your background is too busy, this will detract interest away from the subject. Simple backgrounds make for a very interesting black and white image.

Make use of bad weather- Many photographers turn their noses up at going out photographing when it’s dark and overcast thinking that they will not be able to get any good images, but actually its ideal weather for Black and white photography!

Made a mistake- Black and white can also be a very good cover up tool. Not that us photographers ever make mistakes ;) but if you ever end up with a colour image that is grainy because of high ISO or you have an image where the lighting is completely wrong, you will be surprised at how turning your image black and white may be the answer.
