Corporate Event Photoshoots and Infrared Photography, both Indoors and Outdoors
Hi All
Another day, another week. Its that time of year when professional photographers in Scotland turn their attention to more indoor photoshoots. Normally I do a lot of outdoor photography events, bungee jumps, motor sport, football, and of course my infrared photography around Edinburgh and Scotland. So what do I do when the light goes and it gets colder?. Well actually I get pretty busy. I prepare and re-evaluate my objectives and goals, especially my equipment. What new gear will I need for the coming conference photography season in Edinburgh. How can I upgrade my outdoor gear, given the likely event of a busy spring and summer weekend photoshoots next year and finally I start to think of how to sell my infrared work. It is important that every outdoor landscape and fine art photoshoot is taken as part of an overall strategy. This year I have been aiming to shoot high resolution photos, with a view to selling fine art infrared mounted and framed photographs to businesses and organisations, for them to display as high end fine art images. I am also going for the Christmas market, with mounted infrared photos for sale at outlets in Edinburgh or through this website. But most of all, I am looking forward to some corporate conference photography in Edinburgh and Glasgow and not getting soaked and having the wind blowing at me all he time outdoors.
Anyway, until next time.
Kind Regards

Infrared Photography for Christmas
Hi Everyone
With Christmas approaching some people start to wind down, but not this professional photographer from Edinburgh, I will have some corporate conference photography in Edinburgh, Wedding photography in East Lothian and a rock music photography concert in Edinburgh, but the main focus, if you pardon the pun, in today's blog is to let you all know about my infrared photography fine art images which are currently on sale at the Dark Room, in Ocean Terminal, in Edinburgh, or through my website at www.colinwrightphotography.co.uk. I am now using a Nikon D800 high resolution camera for my infrared work, in addition to my trusty old Lumix. There are black and white and colour infrared prints or downloads fore sale, some traditional looking black and white images and some surreal colour stuff, whatever you prefer. The photos were taken in East Lothian, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Argyll, the Isle of Skye and Germany, in addition to other locations you may recognise.
This brings me to the second part of the blog, my new website, which is now online at www.edinburghphotographer.com. It features my corporate photography and my infrared and fine art images and will eventually be my main website. So take a look and be part of the infrared photography in Scotland revival.
Until next time.
Kind Regards
Colin

I Motor Sport Photography and Conference Event Photography Edinburgh and Scotland
Hi All
A busy week of photography for this professional photographer
in and around Edinburgh, some corporate conference photography in Edinburgh
and Glasgow ending in a Supercar motor sport photoshoot in East
Fortune. So I have decided to do some Tips for photographing Supercars and Motor sport.
1. Use a monopod, this will enable you to use a longer
lens at a slower speed and also protect your weary arms.
2. Experiment with angles and composition, tilt the camera, move around etc
3. Protect yourself, always wear a luminous vest on track
and don’t stand too close. Believe me it’s not worth it.
4. It’s not always the longest lens that you use and watch
for shots when the cars aren’t moving, remember you should always aim to tell a story with
photography.
5. Experiment with speed, to create blur effects, movement etc Don’t always totally freeze
the action.
Thats it for this week. A PR photography shoot in Glasgow next week with more
conference photography in Scotland in the horizon.
Until next time.
Corporate Conference Photography Edinburgh and More
Hi All
Another busy week as the infrared photography in Scotland slows down a bit with reduced light and less trees to photograph, I have been doing some supercar motorsport photography and the event conference photography season is in full swing in both Edinburgh and Glasgow. This week, we will be looking at more tips for conference photographers. As a professional corporate photographer working around Scotland, I am always aiming to progress my conference photography images. Last time we looked at some basic tips for conference photography. Now I am going to suggest some less obvious ones, which I have detailed below:
1. Take enough equipment to enable you to photograph in all kinds of light. You may think you know the venue and the light but what if you are asked to go into a small dark room to photograph a portrait, it has happened to me before. Don't over stock your camera bag but be prepared
2. Improvise. You may have a fair amount of gear but you cant overdo it, due to carrying restrictions and space, make use of white walls for headshots, lean your camera on a chair for longer exposure if there is no room for tripods etc
3. Become an expert with one lens and specialise in it for conferences and events. You will likely only use 2 lenses throughout the day, say a 28-80mm and a 70-200mm for instance
4. Make sure you get the shots, but don't be too intrusive. Try not to always use flash. take a few shots at the beginning and the end of a presentation, then back off. You don't want delegates or speakers to complain, or you may not be hired again
5. Be friendly obliging and cheerful. it may sound obvious but I have been to events with miserable and inflexible photographers, don't be one of them. Nothing should be a problem, but you can't be in two places at one, make sure you get the priority shots specified by the event co-ordinator.
Hope all this helps. So happy conference shooting.
Kind Regards
Colin
