Howard

I have known Howard for more than 10+ years now. Weird to think about it like that...! We had a laugh taking a few portraits in the Surrey Hills. He has just purchased his first SLR so I was teaching him a thing or two, thankfully Howard was a good listener and photogenic too ;) .The light was a little harsh when I took this candid, black and white rescued it well.
Thankfully later on the evening light in this forest was quite something.

I have added a few of these photos to my portfolio : http://www.pbase.com/richardchapman/portraiture

Prince Charming - Promotional shoot

Earlier this week I had the pleasure of photographing 5 lads in an upcoming 5 piece band called 'Prince Charming'. We had a lot of fun in the studio playing with composition, backdrops and lighting. The boys all were really creative and a blast to shoot, I can see myself working with them again in the near future for sure. Below are a few of my favourite shots of the promosession.
I love the simplicity of this shot against the black background.
Black and white is something I always love to play with. This shot turned out exactly how I wanted.


This wasn't my idea, so don't go change your opinion on me...!
To finish I got a few playful portraits of the guys, ending one awesome afternoon session.

Check out the rest of shots here

NTU Mens Lacrosse

Apologies for blogging this a little late but here are my Mens lacrosse photos. Nottingham Trent vs Nottingham Uni, somewhat of a local derby!
