Lightroom Presets !!! 3 black and white presets for just £1
I’ve been creating a number of presets over the last 5 years that I’ve been using lightroom,
so in my presets folder I have best part of 400 different sorts from black and white to colour, to high key and low key some duo tones and many more.
Ive never really thought that others may actually benefit from what I’ve been creating until today!
So after the eureka moment I thought why not let others buy what has been working for me with my clients but do it for a low price so that even the smallest of budgets could afford them!
So in the next couple of days keep those eyes open ! For the links to my sales page.. the three black and white ones will be the start of many more that will become available on our website! So please give this blog a follow to see notifications of when the hit our store front!
Also head over to our social media pages and click follow there! I post there daily and I’m always very active with my following ! Always replying to those who take the time to comment ! Or send DM’s

10 things new photographers may not know 1/10
Looking or asking about camera setting!
We have all done it! It’s a learning curve!
Now you may not think this is a stupid thing to do! In theory it’s not! But what new photographers don’t realise unlike photographers who have been shooting for say five years is,
Unless you’re shooting at the same photoshoot, at the same time with the same lens and camera mixed with the same lighting
Reading or asking for camera settings are pretty much worthless!
I’ve watched many of hours from amazing photographers showing their amazing images, showing the settings that come with the finished image.
Now this can also be a bonus if your looking at the bokeh or amount of grain in the shot but that’s evident from looking at any image!
Once again so much about photography is about the moment and working with what we have! Be that the location or the model as much as the gear used!
Most new photographers done understand that what works for Sony users differ from that of canon or Nikon for instance !
Also it could be that one user is using a full frame camera and ones using a crop sensor !
All the above would result in less light or a difference in quality, and so many other variations from they think they will get from looking at the setting other photographers have posted with their images
In conclusion, the best things to take away from seeing others work and setting is to see the benefits of what you can get if you mix those setting with the right lighting,
And then look at each of the following !
- Look at the eyes to see what lights modifiers and reflectors have been used.
- Look at the shadows to see where the light is coming from up down left right so on.
- Look at the background is is in focus or out of focus this will tell you why they have used the settings if there is bokeh or depth of field then the setting would be 1.4 – 2.8 … if it’s in focus this could mean that the lens has been set to f6.3 up.
- Has any light been used at all or is it just natural lighting
- Then if you try shooting you can pick parts and set your camera to help replicate what your taking . Set camera for back ground darkness and depth of field .. bring in subject and then add light to light the subject!

Portraits – location boudoir & beauty
This weeks it’s been about looking back at some of the images Ive taken and not actually used !
There are a number of reasons as photographers we keep a back stock of images that we have taken !
Not only to document what we are creating day to day or year to year!
But it’s great to actually take those images and bring them into the present day!
Now this might sound strange! But when we take these shots as photographers we are at a level that’s constantly changing ! We are always progressing and learning new things from styles to edits to poses!
It’s great from time time to time to take a day to look through you back stock and try what we have learnt to see if we can make something extra special from those files we put aside for a rainy day!
This week I signed up to a site for learning new things from lighting and editing to posing! And I feel I’ve learnt a thing or three !
So I got out the laptop and the hard drives and picked out a few images I’ve not yet edited!
To see the bigger pictures check out our Instagram page! You will see that there is a mix of edits ! That definitely captivate !
Below are a few thumbnails of what’s been posted!
