Hi Everyone

As someone who works in the area of corporate and event photography around Edinburgh, Glasgow and throughout Scotland, it seems trivial just now to display some photos from recent event photography commissions in Scotland, or some urban photography but that is what I will do, as we all need to try and take our minds away from what is happening just now, although our thoughts and prayers go to the people of Ukrain at the moment.  Also spare a thought to photographers and journalists out in Ukraine just now.  I used to work as a press photographer and have been at the centre of riots and demonstrations but nothing even close to the turmoil that the photographers are feeling in the Ukraine just now.

On a different note, I have been taking a lot more urban photographs recently, particularly as I now live outside Glasgow.  i find Glasgow a great place to photograph, as it has a variety of buildings, new and old.  it is often used as a film location to mirror cities in the US and you can see why with the San Fransisco looking streets and slopes.  I come from Edinburgh and this is an entirely different place to photograph, with a more historic and touristy feel about it.  Glasgow has the busy feeling of a real, at times scary, other times beautiful, city.  There is also the River Clyde and its wonderful mix of architecture.  In addition, I have been doing a lot of infrared photography in the city, to give me that increased dynamic range, structure and drama and Glasgow never lets me down, so without further comment, i will leave you with a photo taken in the city recently.

Until next time.

Kind Regards

Colin

Hi Everyone

As a professional freelance corporate and event photographer in Edinburgh, Glasgow and around Scotland, things are starting to pick up a bit now with event photography and conference photography in Scotland restarting again.  I have move nearer to Glasgow now to Kirkintilloch, this gives me some new subjects to photograph, although i do miss the sea.  However, I now have loch Lomond and the Campsie Fells.

Recently we have had some really extreme and stormy weather and although this can be challenging and you often have to protect yourself first, there are some great photographic opportunities.  I always loved photographing the waves in Dunbar and now have snow and mountains to photograph, in addition to living near a canal on the River Clyde.  I also have new cities to photograph in Glasgow and Stirling, so plenty to keep me busy.

I wanted to talk briefly about storms, ie how can you photograph them in relation to still photography, to convey the drama, you could take a photo os flying derbris or people battling their way through the elements, however one of the best things to photograph in a storm is the period just before the big event, where the sky is often dramatic and very changeable.  The photo I have featured in this blog shows the sky at Southbank Marina Kirkintilloch just before the big storm we had on wednesday 16th February.  The clouds were battling with the sun rays and to add to the photo, my infrared converted camera caught the sun rays effectively to give the image more drama.

So get out there and take photos, but be careful.

Until next time.

Kind Regards

Colin
