Joe contacted me looking for new business head shots having just left a career in the military.
The brief was to provide clean professional head shots for use on social media, websites and internal business content.
After talking about his past career, family, and life we got to shooting.
The Photography Show 2022 - 4 Days of Photography Talk, Gear & Team Pixapro/Godox
It’s been a good few years since the last Photography show at the NEC and I missed the hubub, meeting people, putting faces to names and working with the team over at Pixapro.
The lead up to the show was filled with meetings and planning among the team covering the stand layouts, new gear and current gear show pricing and much more.
A lot of work goes in to attending the shows with a stand and it is always impressive to see how well put together the Pixapro stand is.
This year was a little different. We had company.
This year Pixapro had the pleasure of working along side Godox in a new exciting partnership.
Stand K404 was filled with great gear and staff from both team Pixapro and Team Godox. Everyone was great to work with and spend time with outside of the show days.
It was a busy and fun 4 days talking shop, Pixapro, Godox and all things Photography.
The stand also had great demos from Tommy Reynolds, Gavin Hoey & Jake Hicks. These demos are always a big draw to the stand and provide great info, techniques and entertainment throughout the show.
During the show we also all met up at the amazing Aura Photographic Studio in Northampton to create some content for the Pixapro Youtube channel.
I spent the day assisting Tommy and Jake as my content was going to be done back here at my own studio.
It was great to see everyone working together a a team and spend time with all the team members away from the show floor.
As per usual after the 4 days I had little to no voice left and my feet hated me but I can not wait for the next one. See you at the next show.

Head Shots & Portraits for Actor Clara James
A few weeks back Actor Clara James paid a visit to the studio for some updated head shots and portraits.
It was great to finally meet her and of course shoot new headshots and portraits for her actor portfolio.
For headshot sessions I always start with a chat and getting to know session, we discuss looks, outfits and the results wanted before heading on set and starting to shoot the first few frames. Sometimes the first 10 mins of shooting is the warmup and other times we just jump straight in. Clara was at home in front of the lens and a joy to shoot.
