Portrait Photography Work

Next week I have got a gig taking some portrait photos for a Leeds companies corporate website. Initially it is only for a couple of the employees but, if the shots go down well, then there is potential for more work in the future.

The best aspect of the work is that it gives me more experience and additional info. to add to my portfolio. I'm also really looking forward to it.

Great News to Come Home To


Following my holiday to Rhodes and the unfortunate accident with my camera (I'm awaiting a call from the insurance company to see what can be done) I returned home to some fantastic news.


I submitted the adjacent picture to Digital SLR Photography magazine for one of their monthly competitions and they rate the picture that you send it. It is graded in four ways:


1.Ungraded

2.Pass

3.Merit

4.Distinction


The theme was for an Environmental Portrait and I managed to get and Pass. It is great to get some recognition from the magazine and I'm really chuffed to have been given a grade.


The the picture is of a homeless gent who I often see around my office in the centre of Leeds. Unfortunately I have not seen him since I took the picture, though I keep one in my bag so that I can give one to him.
