When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees.
The dogs, including a sixteen-week-old puppy, needed to be photographed for editorial and website use. The requirement was for all the images to be shot against a seamless white background. With such a background you are able to drop the images into both web pages and traditional print, and the images bleed into the background, showing no edges …
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!
