Alex Cofield

 
Alex recently contacted me about some headshots he needed as he was getting to the end of his course at Rose Bruford College
We spent a couple of hours in the studio going through some different variations of looks with a few changes of clothes along the way for variety.
After choosing his 6 final images, I went through his choices and delivered them in a variety of formats and sizes that can be used for Spotlight, printed as 10''x8'' copies in colour and black and white, and email-able copies as well.
Alex was really please with his images and I wish him well for the future.

Baby Howl




Just finished a shoot with 'Baby Howl'.
They won the Battle of the Bands at Jagz music venue recently, first prize was a days shoot with me to produce images that can be used for Press and Promo requirements.
We started by an old corrugated barn then went onto a flyover that had some fantastic murals by Cosmo Sarcon  painted on it, we utilised the mural in a few of the images.
One of the final locations was a bridge/underpass that I know of in Windsor-it has some great lead in lines and textures with just enough darkness to enable me to light the band back up to exposure again with just one flash placed in front of them, i'm kneeling down by the light stand with a wide lens to make them more prominent in the image.
This image has been slightly processed, a bit of de-saturation and general slight changes.

Below is a mock up version of a CD cover, which shows what you can do with an image after editing and re-sizing/cropping etc

Jasmine......

 
Above is Jasmine, a Singer/Songwriter based near Reading, Berks
We met up recently to create some images for her that she could use for CD artwork etc.
The location was the Bel & The Dragon restaurant in Reading, a beautiful setting with lots of location possibilities inside and out.

This image was very simply lit, just one flash with a grid to create a fall off into darkness.
The deep blue of the seat contrast with the red patterned cushion and Jasmine's pale skin.
Ideal image for a cover.
You can find out more about her here
