North London Photographer - Corporate Portraits
I spent a little time on Saturday with Xen, a solictor who is looking to polish up his website and to have some images that he can use to promote himself with.

North London Photographer - Pet Dog Portraits
A break from a run of corporate work yesterday gave me a little time to get back to some portraits and a chance to capture Valerie, a young cross-bred Jack Russell/Chihuahua.
Valerie is completely deaf, which posed particular challenges in terms of getting her attention so that she'd pose for me, but with some perseverence we did, I think, hit the jackpot.
Working in a small bedroom, I used my flash on a ETTL cord, but switched to manual mode for both exposure and flash so that I could control the background to get these.
This first photograph captures a vulnerability in Valerie that I think is quite appealing. Her single visible dark eye staring hopefully forward shows the kind of trust that she has to hold for those around her as a small, disabled dog.
By moving the flash to fire behind Valerie, I created this lovely, near silhouette, which appeals to me as I think she looks almost Fox like.
Here by shooting from above, and feathering the flash so it illuminated her face but not the ground around her, I feel a sense of vulnerability along with a slight ridiculous note of the size of the ears of this deaf dog.
This final shot is a more conventional portrait and shows more dignity and a stillness, which is rare in a dog who is constantly reliant on her sight to sense opportunities for fun, love or even threats.

FA Youth Cup - Chelsea 1-0 Portsmouth
I had the pleasure of a working trip to Stamford Bridge last night for the FA Youth Cup 5th round tie that saw Chelsea's youth team take on Portsmouth's equivalents.
Straight after kick off and Jacopo Sala is keen to make an early mark on the game
Jacopo Sala
Within minutes Chelsea looked dominant - this header was the first of several chances to rebound from the woodwork
But Captain Connor Clifford was not long to be denied, breaking from midfield to give Chelsea the lead after ten minutes
With Sala occupying the Pompey Left Back, Billy Clifford took several opportunites to get forward from his right back role
The hard working Billy Clifford once again
Gokhan Tore in action as a wet second half commences

North London Photographer. Corporate Headshots - Maximum returns from minimal disruption
I visited the excellent Robert Hawkins earlier today at his Winchmore Hill Clinic.
Robert's website is currently undergoing re-design and he wanted some high quality headshots for the new site.
I arrived and set up quickly and less than half an hour later we'd got shots of all his staff and a few photographs of specific techniques that he wishes to promote.
If you'd like similarly high quality shots for only £75 per hour, then contact me by calling 0208 372 2090 or 07596 47007 or by contacting me here.
All of your images will be presented to you on CD/DVD at a range of sizes ready for printing or use online and every image is made available in both colour and black and white. I also take a variety of landscape and portrait orientation images so that you can use either depending on your requirements.
These images can usually be provided to you electronically the same day.
So, if you're in and around North London & re-vamping your website or need photographs for corporate publications then please get in touch.

Winter 2010 - Enfield in the Snow
A cancelled meeting today gave me some time to have a traipse around Enfield Chase and the New River Loop taking some snowy shots in the lovely sunlight we had earlier.
Now landscape photography is by no means a speciality but I'm quietly pleased with some of these. Take a look and let me know what you think:
