New Work: Cornish Stone (Updated)

I’ve been working on this one for a long time and I’m really pleased to present my latest print, Cornish Stone. 

The image was captured on Bodmin Moor, in Cornwall, on a bitterly cold day. There was a sense of age that was palpable; like walking amongst the stones of Stonehenge… Lovely and lonely. It took a great deal of experimentation to capture that feeling in the image and final print, but here it is at last:

Studio Friday: Lighting & Still Life

This week, friends brought us a bag of gorgeous plums and I decided to try and photograph them before they turned into jam or something else yummy.

Mostly this was just an exercise in lighting; playing with various combinations of diffusers and reflectors, in different positions and with the strobes set to different intensities. Lots of fun (and I’m no longer sure why I avoided flashes for so long…)

Here’s one of my favourites from my tabletop shoot:
