Three more images from the vault with these images with model Jade
Something a little different as this was a gel lighting set! But love how these come out! Mixing the blue and orange colours works so well being the opposite side of the colour wheel!
This was a couple of images that was inspired by photographer Jake Hicks and his gel lighting techniques
Hope that you like these if so Please show these some love 💓 and share this post so others can see what I’m creating !

Well the last three weeks or so have been hard for everyone!
Sadly many have lost the battle again this virus and life isn’t easy for a number of people still fighting.
I’m proud to say that we have some amazing friends in the 🇬🇧 UK Our strong hearted and amazing NHS workers trying their hardest to win the fight and keep strong for all of us. It’s a lot of responsibility so I have full respect of each and every front line worker!
So with that in mind the least I could do was stop my Photography business and help slow the spreading of the virus. And to keep my socialising to the minimum.
Well that’s not good for the pocket but it has given me a little time to get into the hard drives of back images and set to work clearing the back log of images and also learn some more editing styles along the way.
Over the next few days I will try to post up some of the new work that I’ve been creating with a few sets of image for you all to see!
I hope that what I post will be of interest to someone and maybe there’s a few reason to hit the like button or that follow icon and maybe even spark a little conversation!
Below is the first set of three images from our shoot with beautiful Hazel a very natural client in front of the camera. You will see a few posts this week with sets of images but for now this is the beauty set that we did let me know what you think!
Before I go! Stay safe, Stay home, and protect each other!

When I first started photography I didn’t realise how to crop a photo to get a better looking shot.
Now when I say crop this can be done in two ways
First and best is to crop in camera ! To crop in camera simply means using the full field of view of the sensor/lens. This will give you the best quality image and use all the megapixels to best advantage.
Second way is to crop in post. This isn’t a good as the first option, as it lowers the resolution of the image by taking away vital megapixels
But when you’re learning it’s one of the first ways to find what looks best! As sometimes you don’t see the full picture until you get into post. Where you then see that ‘ oh that looks better’ moment!
A few simple rules when cropping are not to cut limbs off such as fingers and such like!
Now this post isn’t going to be about the full depth of cropping! It’s just going to be a simple idea that cropping a body in the right place !
Below are three images to give you a better idea!
3/4 crop image Cutting the legs of here give a much more pleasing look than cropping lower towards the knees you could crop a little lower but be very carful not to go to low! 1/2 Crop – this is a stunning crop for boudoir style shoots and for fashion too. Though with this shot the rule of not cropping limbs is used selectively but done to a point where it’s still pleasing to the eye. This 1/4 crop is used more for portrait and beauty Cropping here give a much closer shot of the subject and when shot like this in camera give plenty of detail to work with ! It almost makes the subject lifelike and in the same room!
The above is just a little of whats needed to create a more pleasing image! Over the coming weeks I will post a more in-depth post for what to look for and how to capture the images in camera
Until next time please feel free to try this and tag me on Instagram to show me how you got on! @adriandayphotography and please feel free to like and comment! Too
It’s definitely been a new process for me, getting to grips with creating content for my YouTube channel! One showing what I can do and two learning that process of editing ! With out buying into a big program like adobe premier pro right away!
I’ve managed to do a few videos and post them up! I like the out come, again this is all done using mobile editing ! But still these are in 1080p or 4K so that’s not so bad on quality as YouTube will render the video in algorithm if it’s low quality and put it way down the list of showing!
If you would like to see the two videos click on the images below and please give it a like and maybe even a follow on my account!
This month I thought I would try something different ! I wanted to step away from social media a little and see what’s happening elsewhere.
Well I’m always looking for inspiration on Pinterest and everyone’s always posting did you see this? did you see that? on Pinterest! So ! I started posting my work to my Pinterest account ! https://pin.it/LA2I4vz
I created a folder and named it simply my photography, and then started adding the work I had stored on my mobile device! Now it’s all pretty simple to do when you have the Pinterest app! Just click the + sign and add the image and any details such as title, info and a weblink if you have one!
Now if you’re used to facebook or Instagram the algorithm it kicking our butts with low views and paid content advertising. So I’ve been used to 100 ish impressions on an image. Now With this I’ve not paid to promote any image! Everything has been organic. The first few images didn’t do to much 20 impressions and as I was saying thought okay this is about normal.
20 impressions only!
So I posted a few more images and they started going up 160 – 200
168 impressions! Going up!
Then come the first big impression jump and to me I was happy organic views of an image more than I’ve had on social media in years ! 556 impressions in the image below!
Boom 💥 over the 500 mark!
Some of you may be thinking this is normal now I’ve only seen big number showing up on image of nudes or news posts other get a good number due to following! Now my following is low! Pinterest 40 followers Instagram 1450 not big at all!
Well I was a little addicted by this stage I started adding images to build up my portfolio and possibly gain the same kind of impressions a few of them didn’t get many view but then others started growing! 600+ 800+
And then there it was I hit my first 1200 views on and image! I was bouncing off the walls ! Me, my work, a Photographer on a lonely mission to get known!
Boom 🤯 1.2k impressions
Now this was in my first week ! I’m only on week two now and my numbers on certain images are still low but then others are getting over the 1k but yesterday one image went ballistic! I posted an image just before leaving the house to go run some errands!
When I got back I was thinking about my image was it good enough it wasn’t someone I had posted shooting on there in that style before! Well it got the better of me and I picked up my phone and clicked the app! And there it was ! 6500 impressions! Over 6.5 k Of views this was shocking ! Happy understatement of the day! Mind blown head shock! Here is that image!
#mindblown 6.5K impressions
Well I’m definitely blown away with that now with Pinterest you can see the monthly stats on posting just to my photography pin board this month has so far racked me up 26K of impressions and 18K audience 18000 people seen my page that’s more than see my Instagram last year in just two weeks ! Let alone a month!
Below is my stats
Last 30 day Pinterest stats
So honestly if you’re trying to get your work seen by the masses the maybe social media like facebook or Instagram are not the way forward ! They’re a great medium and in fairness you could help the views by posting links to social pages too! Just to gain a little extra viewing! But my new best friend is definitely Pinterest!
It’s helped my website to grow, it’s helped my social pages grow as the links are there on the images and it’s boosted my interest from people want to have work done by me! All in all I think it’s a great place to grow and watch this space for the what the rest of this month brings if this is the start I look forward to seeing what can come from stepping away from the norm!
Give it a try yourself and let me know how you get on! Any free advertising is worth the two minutes it takes to set up and the 30 seconds to post!

Been a little time in the making or should I say in the doing!
But to end 2019 I finally put the plan into action and started selling images from locations I’ve shot!
Having posted images to a number of sites and asked the question who would buy ? And got some great feed back I hope that this will be a worth while thing
I would really love to see what people think and would be super happy to know that people want my art on their walls.
If you’re interested in buying or checking out some of the images take a look at the link below
