Okay, so maybe I won’t bore you with all the details of my latest investment, but as my last cameras were beginning to show their age, I decided to take the plunge and invest in some tasty new gear.

After some talk about all things photography with two good chums of mine, Phil Barber & Barnaby Aldrick, we all inadvertently forced ourselves into the world of online Video Blogging. “That’s a great idea”, we all said, gave each other a deadline, shook hands and finished our fish-finger sandwiches.

Yeah, I’m not the most natural on-screen presenter there is! Maybe I should try scripting it next time . . .

Thanks, I’m planning a video on how I shoot headshots (aimed more for clients rather than photographers, although you will get a cheeky peek at the infamous set-up I use) and also one on the post-production and retouching of headshots; how I give it the final 20% Watch this space. R

Brilliant bro. Love the vid. Nice use of image examples (full/closeup pans) & overdubbage! Good work.
Great to see you onscreen bro. I’m gonna do a bobbling head soon, too!
I’d love to see a tutorial on the lighting setup you use for the flashed headshots. They look so crispy nice.
