Snow mk 2

Took a walk with the dog over Clent this afternoon, most of the snow has melted as the suns been on it all day. Didn't want to miss the opportunity to get some Nature shots which I have found myself doing alot of recently to pass the time.

Getting this one for the walls of our new studio I think...

And finally... (I found it like this)

We couldn't resist...

After the 3rd/4th day of snow, me and my sister (and the dog) couldn't resist some silliness in the snow, which is now about a whole inch and a half thick. Sadly, the snow is very fluffy so our efforts to create an igloo or even a snow man were in vain.
But that didn't stop us (and the dog) getting out and enjoying the snow...

Bostin, mon!

Every now and again, I have the total privilege of shooting portraits.
Some of you will say...Duh, that's what you always do...?

Wrong.

I always refer to them as portraits but the original definition of a portrait is to capture the subjects personality and character. Which is what I was fortunate enough to do last week with Donato!

Once again, the standard, uninspiring British weather got the best of most of my outdoor ideas (Roll on Spring!) so we were confined to the studio.

Brief background: Donato is the founder of the popular brand, Bostin, most of you may know of him from the Bostin t-shirts. I met Donato back at the end of 2008, when I produced a variety of promotional shots for Bostin.

Donato is full of character, so capturing a "portrait" wasn't challenging, but it was a lot of fun.

We eventually got outdoors for a few photos. Everynow and again, clients do nice things - like buy me cookies or muffins - Donato went one step further and treated me to a PIEEEE... from The Pie Factory (I kid you not, www.madorourkes.com)






Thanks Donato!
