With the arrival of the digital age, the workload of the photographer changed, out went the darkroom & chemical processes, replaced by computer processing & printing, and a less smelly workplace! The digital era allows me to capture images that just a few years ago would have been near impossible, or would have needed some powerful lighting, but it requires a new set of skills using keyboard and mouse and an ever-changing IT know how.  

To quote a phrase the right place at the rights time, but with the right camera and right lens! But to see the end result I still find highly rewarding.  As did the gent in the photograph, who was amazed when he found his image on the magazine rack in his local newsagents!

But it had to be shot at twilight, at very last light to give the images a set of dark tones, no white or pale coloured skies or light coloured backgrounds.  The reason for this was the images will be used as the backdrop to advertisements and publicity in print and web with the copy and text set on top.
