Portrait exchange

Summer is a busy time of year for most togs, so it was really nice to take a few hours off and spend it with my friend and fellow tog Jacqui Mellor. We decided to experiment with taking each others portrait in my studio on Friday.

Here are some of the shots taken by Jacqui of me…

And here are a few of my favourites which I took of Jac…

Street Photography in Holland

We took advantage of the good weather and flew off to Holland for a long w.end, I decided to pick just one lens my 35mm Prime to take as I know I have done this in the past especially with a lens I don’t often use to just remind myself of its capabilities and strengths. I was determined to try out a bit of street photography, something I have been nervous of in the past, I never want to upset or offend anyone by pointing the camera but at the same time I do love to take pictures of people just doing real things in the moment.

Everyone is nervous about having a shoot…

IMG_8027b&w

 

Some of my clients put off having a photo shoot because they are nervous, nervous about what is involved. They are worried about posing, insecure about certain parts of their body, unsure as to what to expect, and may have fears about how their images are shared and the confidentiality of the shoot.

It is completely natural to have all of these concerns, and it is my job as your photographer to reassure you and put your mind at ease. I always welcome people to visit me at my studio to talk through any concerns and never put anyone under any pressure to commit to a photo shoot if they are not sure.

Please contact me at lindsay@lindsaywakelinphotography.com to arrange a visit to my studio to talk about Wedding, Boudoir, Family or Corporate Photography. I make a great cuppa and am always happy to chat and show people my albums, my work and the studio.
