Hi all

Taking advantage of a quiet week last week to get some stock and fine art photography from my home city of Edinburgh.  Most professional photographers have periods where they concentrate on certain areas of work and as a professional commercial photographer operating around Edinburgh, I try and get as much infrared and urban photography as possible, in addition to selling the work I completed in the summer.  This is sometimes more difficult than it sounds as the weather can be a bit rubbish at this time of the year in Scotland.  However on Friday it was perfect for infrared photography around 10am.  While infrared photographers rightly emphasise sun and trees for dramatic images, you can also add shadows to this equation and they were reflecting brilliantly on on the buildings on Friday, shadows in infrared can result in some dramatic shots, they also work well on grass.  The other aspect of Infrared Photography that is often overlooked, is that you can create realistic black and white images, that are not obviously infrared.  I have sold fine art images to hotels who wanted black and white photography on their walls.  Unless there are trees and grass present it isn’t always obvious they have been taken with an infrared converted camera.  Oh and another essential ingredient in the winter for infrared, beside sunlight, is an interesting sky - see the attached photo.

So as a professional photographer operating in Scotland, I also have some food photography in Edinburgh and a student event photography assignment at the Corn Echange in Edinburgh.

So, until next time.

Kind Regards

Colin Wright
