A few images that I managed not to screw up completely

 I have been using Aatish's studio for just under two years although I knew of its existence for some time, just a matter of having funds stopped me booking it before I eventually did. Especially as it was only three miles from my home, unfortunately it has been sold and I have had my last shoot there. September, Irida was in Birmingham and I managed to book a half day shoot with her at late notice due to me having a few medical problems that will need surgery eventually I could not commit to a date earlier. As she was only available during the afternoon I had to rethink the shoot I planned as I always shoot in natural light as much as possible and make the most of the facilities at studio. Only one image shown here was flash used, in the bathroom at the end of the shoot. .

This year has seen the revival of this blog and me making the most of the excellent Summer weather by using the parks and nature reserves near by. In no particular order are some of my favourites of the year.

Frame Creatives, a group I am member of held a early evening dusk shoot around the Saint Paul's area of Birmingham, below are the better efforts I took of Sammy and Saleema, lighting was with my Yongnuo speedlites using a softbox and gels.
