” Amazing day of photography yesterday with the RSPB on Havergate Island. A truly stunning location and a real privilege to be able to join a group of other tutors and students to take some beautiful images in this unique landscape. It’s what being a photographer is all about!
There are a few spaces left on this Sunday’s Discovery Day – details at http://www.rspb.org.uk/havergateisland
We very much look forward to welcoming all our lovely friends and families we have met over the last 12 years in Aldeburgh. Here’s to the next 12 years – hoping to meet and greet many more families and future friends too.

Today is the day to celebrate Aldeburgh’s Independent shops and businesses and make the most of the special offers, discounts and masterclasses on offer. Enjoy the music and festivities whilst getting to know the shop owners on the high street. Thank you to everyone who attended my masterclass outside the gallery and hope you came away with some top tips and new techniques. A big thank you to Claire and Sue and the ABA for making today possible.
Today’s commission was an interior advertising shoot of a lovely holiday home overlooking the sea. The bright conditions called for a mix of ambient light and off camera flash to iron out the long shadows caused by the low winter sun. The key to creating natural looking interiors is mixing natural ambient light and tungsten from the lamps etc, then throw in a little flash to balance things out. Lastly, some finishing touches to dress the room nicely.
The interior exposures were hovering around 1/15sec @ f/11 at 400 ISO. I used Quantum’s wireless Qflash system at 1/2 power – soft box attached and directed into shadows.
Spent the day with the Best of Suffolk team. They really do have the most impressive offices I have ever seen! They also have the most beautiful holiday properties………..http://www.bestofsuffolk.co.uk/
Thanks for a great day.
