This will be the last post for quite a while, i’m writing this post from my hospital bed, and i need to concentrate on getting better and i’ve lost the drive to update this blog.

I am lucky enough to call Carl Frampton a friend, he’s a real good guy, and even better, he really gets involved in the photoshoot, has ideas and trusts the photographer to get the best out of him.

A special thank you goes to Angus, my best friend, and someone whose always there when i need / use or abuse him. He’s never stuck for an answer, or technical query ( as you can see below )

But, i know what i’m getting him for Christmas…………… A pair of jeans that cover his rear better…..

Heavyweight competitions are always good to photograph, although sometimes a bit brutal, last nights was no different. I found the undercard good, although the Kid Gallahad fight ended in a minute and a half ! as you can see below

BUSINESS EYE PORTRAITS

I had two Business Eye portraits to shoot in Belfast, one inAdelaide street and the other was in East Belfast. The first portrait was different as his offices had no branding, and very little furniture in them, so i decided to basically stand him in the middle of the street and shoot him there.

Can anyone say Health and Safety ?

When i went to East Belfast it was to Morgans Removals in Island Street, again, this was an old building and he had no signage or company names inside the building.

On my way to use the toilet i spotted his warehouse, and although it was very dark, i simply daisychained a few Nikon SB800 flasguns together, bungee corded them to the roof of the store, then changed the WB in camera to make it slightly warmer, this then looked like the storeroom lights were lighting the scene.
