Doncaster Family Portrait Photographer – {Mark & Karen}

It was my pleasure to Photograph Mark & Karen and their two delightful daughters Alice & Isobel. Both the girls were wonderful to work with especially Alice who was that little bit older and loved being in front of the camera, enabling me to capture some memorable portraits of them. I used an High Key lighting setup to produce the photos to fit in with some that Mark & Karen already had.

These are a few of the photo’s that I liked from the photo shoot.

Doncaster Landscape Photographer

Last week my wife and I visited the Lake district and the Glen Coe area of Scotland. The weather in both locations was very mixed, good on some days and dreadful on others. Most of the images taken in Scotland were in between very heavy rainfalls, throughout Thursday the rain just did not give up, thankfully we were fully kited out for the bad weather. Not to be deterred, I can’t wait for my return visit. Each of the two panoramic images were made from three separate images, stiched together using photoshop.

These are a few of my favourite photographs
