Bath

The best thing I have done so far - is no not have a bath - lol! 

Was in order to help develop my own photography style, I began photographing my family in our home, every day.

When I decided I wanted to pursue a photography based career - I knew that I needed to try and find my own style.

I had been taking my own personal images for years before, and the plan was to always go live, but I wanted to do it at the right time.

So began a path of self discovery in a way, and to help me,  I bought every book on DSLR cameras imaginable, and I decided to do this blog. 

The blog was more to help me capture, in a photo journalistic way, something that I know well, and record it every day.

I strongly recommend to anyone who is a budding photographer, or wanting to become one, to try a project like this - it really does get you thinking outside the camera button, and teaches you to really understand what you are looking at.

Anyone who reads this - thank you Mum - knows that I hate FLASHES.

I have too many photos in my life where we all look like we have been spot lighted by some bus on a dark road.

So I knew my style was going to omit this - but it would also limit myself - hugely!

Ive been playing with natural light - and I think I'm getting there. Last night I tried to use the bath lights (arghh!) we have to snap the kids and see how they would turn out.

I can't wait to try this during the day one time with natural light - gee they are going to love that - NOT!
