Big thanks goes to amazing assistants.

All the best for Emma and Gavin! They are a couple full of positive energy and happiness.
Photographing their wedding was a true pleasure. I was doing the reportage bit, while Paul did classic photos.

Love Blueberries. With cream and sugar is oh-my-God dessert.
Didn’t had much to do this Sunday evening, so from my boredom this picture happened.
You really think, just because you’re at home, you can’t make a nice photo?

Table full of boxes as flags, one light on background [0.5 meter away]to give a nice halo. Strobe in umbrela shoot-through on right,Lastolite reflector left.G

You think you know people.
When they are standing there- in front of a big eye, which you have instead of your face; with all that photoshoot buzz and lights- people change.
I know Michael for about a year now. He’s a nice guy with always something ironic on tip of his tongue. Happy, with attitude. But in front of a lens he’s someone completely different.
As you can see on the pictures – sensual and fragile side comes out. I didn’t have to tell him a thing.
Is this acting or it’s deep emotion?


Light: one strobe, umbrella and reflector involved. PS: not too much, big stain on the wall.

I love those assignments- very nice people, relaxed, that cooperate [read: do what I say].
We’ve had really good time and I think it shows on the photos.
Thanks miss M for help with this one.

Room was quite small with white walls and ceiling, which helped to achieve look of K wrapped in light.
Silhouette pictures was a problem coz light was bouncing everywhere, but we’ve managed.
Pictures one and two shows difference in ending media – No1 is for big canvas [contrast and color] and no2 for photo paper[soft].

Light: No1 and no2 – umbrella shoot through in front and bouncer on right. No3 umbrella left and small strobe background pattern [looks like wings] No4 is strobe half power in front, through bed sheet.

Top place, top food.

One of the best restaurants in Edinburgh. Royal Yaht Brittania Head Chef’s “Oloroso”.Best chips in town and magnificent view. From one side – the Castle, from another -Firth of Forth. Anyway. Is it hard to shoot there? No. Came day earlier, asked a manager. He said: no problem. As some say: If you not ask- you will never know.

This is Mariusz, nice guy and best graphic designer I know. [Witty Fox]
I’ve wanted to show that for him office is everywhere he wants, and doesn’t have to work between claustrophobic four walls like rest of folk.
This was part of college’s assignment – environmental portrait.

Radio triggered strobe is firing on a white sheet of paper blue tagged to the laptop screen. Background two stops down and some dodging and burning in PS.

One of my Graded Unit assigments at college. It was a very small room with courtains behind in about 1 meter. Shoot with two flashes on either side covered with kitchen foil grids for control of light spill.

First. HD quality.

No flash. Just as it is.cross flashedblue on heart

First post. Does it have to be about something? Yeah, maybe.

This is a Beauty I’ve shoot for Edinburgh Harley-Davidson. It’s showing how a little of camera flash can change the image.

Just a normal room light by big windows in celling and some small point lamps.
Second image is a little bit of a change – two flashes either side on low angles are giving dramatic look. Right light has CTO gel on it, to give a setting sun look.
3rd picture – you know it. Bare flash behind and blue geled with small snoot and grid from straws front right on the engine.
