The Italian job

David Greensmith — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 13:29:47 +0000

Last week I was asked to do some portraits of a friends family. I knew it would be great fun to do these portraits as they quite a large family and those to be in the photograph all of an age that would be happy to mess about in front of the camera.

I set out with an action plan of ideas, however I soon forgot about my ideas as I got involved in the chaos. The family all have the typical Italian looks and larger than life personalities to match. The studio session was done at their house in Locks Heath, Southampton. I enjoy working this way as, many people are more relaxed and comfortable in their own homes. It definitely gives better results.

After different arrangements, we finally finished the session. It was an ideal chance for me to put my software through its paces. I was able to connect the camera to my Laptop and those watching could see the images on the screen as I was taking them. A bonus for sure, as they go to see the images almost immediately.

I am excited to get their prints completed and framed, they will look stunning on the walls of their homes.

Below are some of the images:

Festive Portrait – Baby Sienna

Last week, I visited and took some portraits of baby Sienna. As the last time, I had photographed her mother Justine during her pregnancy; it was great to do a follow-up shoot.

Being a festive time of year, Sienna was dressed for the occasion. The shoot was in their house, and we decided to just use the lounge, rather than set up a background. Sienna was a star, and performed on request. She even posed for on of the shots below.

Pumpkin Festival

On Saturday, I went to the Pumpkin Festival at the Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley Abbey. I went along as the weather was stunning (and my mother wanted to go). I was impressed with how big the show was, and furthermore, the array of photo opportunities that I found. The festival is in aid of the Jubilee Sailing Trust, so the fun is all for a good cause. There were some massive pumpkins on display, one in fact filled the back of a transit van! With these monsters on display, I felt it would be wrong to not get some images of them!

David Loh was on hand to carve one of these giants! Making such a great job and at such speed, this work of art was incredible! What a spectacle, he had adults and kids spellbound with his skill and precision!

The giant pumpkins are hollowed out into boats after the show and raced the following weekend! Yes, that’s right. Boats! Another great spectacle!

To the prom… Fetch the fire Engine?

I have been very busy recently, hence my lack of posts on here. I have been booking weddings and doing various shoots with different people.

A couple of weeks ago I did a some pictures for a group of lads going to their end of school prom. Another Limo shoot I thought but I was then told they were being taken in a Fire Engine! The big kid in me appeared and I was delighted to go along and take some pictures.

Last Thursday I photographed a couple who are expecting a baby in the next 30 days. It was a real pleasure to shoot the couple and the results are great. I wish them all the best for the next few weeks, and I look forward to photographing the baby in a few months!
