Recent Photography work - Fashion shoot & Wedding Dress shoot

Hey,
Just writing this as my second shoot is exporting, I thought I would just share a little of what I have been up to.
This week has been amazing, I have had 3 photoshoots in 1 week (never before have I had this)
A football shoot on sunday, A wedding dress shop Tuesday, and a local fashion boutique Thursday.


As you all know my preferred photographic medium is weddings, however I have been looking to branch out a little more and I have really enjoyed the new challenge and specification for the aims.


I am really happy with the fashion shoots, the models were stunning and the colours look so bright. (so much so I want to buy 3 of the outfits)

The wedding dress shoot was a little different for me, as I found it hard to remember to show off the dress & not the bride. However the results are good, and they are already selling the product from the back of the images.

The football shoot, well this was the day my facebook page went crazy with likes, this was the first time the girls had a photographer attend one of their games, so for some these were the first images they had of themselves. I am glad they like them, and there are pleanty more to come.

I cant wait to find out what I shall be covering next.

A weekend off for a wedding photographer. - by going to a wedding

This weekend I shall be having a weekend off from my "day job". By attending a wedding, but this time as a guest.
Therefore what does this mean? 

• Hair & and nails are being done
• Makeup is being done
• The outfit has been planned to perfection
• Overnight bag is packed
• And the most scary one ...... not a camera in sight

I don't know if it is strange that I am half dreading not having a camera with me, however firstly and most personally, I have been asked to be a guest therefore I should enjoy the day and "live" the moments.
Also for vanity, I cannot fit one in my handbag. I will struggle to get my phone and lipstick in there, never mind my DSLR and varying lenses.


I am just awaiting the temptation of someone leaving a camera laying around, or potentially being directly handed one by another guest to take a picture.


I did get the opportunity as my gift to take the engagement shots for the couple, however tomorrow everything will be left to another photographer.

Out and about Nature Landscape Photography.

Well today I had a children's photoshoot and sadly the baby was not well therefore this was rearranged for another day.


Therefore this left me with a few hours to spare and all of my camera gear in the car. What could I do? go home and zone out on the sofa, or go for a roughly 2 mile walk in no socks and plimsoles (not the best shoes lol)


So I went for the walk, locally to me there is a loop that starts on a canal side, goes through a small village then one long road back up to the car. It took about an hour, however every time I do this journey there are different things to see and shoot. Today the flowers were all out and there were a few boats on the canal.


Here are a few images that I have taken today, What do you think?

Playing with my new lens Canon DSLR

Canon 50m prime 1.8

I am currently saving to upgrade my camera and lens collection.

I love my photography and love my job as a wedding photographer. I have recently been venturing into new areas of photography, including sports and corporate events.This bank holiday weekend I have a engagement shoot.

I have today just received this new "nifty fifty" canon lens. I was talking last week and my assistant could not believe I have never owned  prime lens. He near enough went on Amazon for me and ordered this lens. He said it would change my way of thinking of shot composure and make me things of new ideas on shoots.

I am used to a zoom lens and can be lazy I guess and take a step back to get the shot. However this lens makes me think of what I want to capture, and work and move myself to get the shot.

Tonight I have already has some success and fails. I am not used to the focusing as of yet, an have needed to take 5 images before getting the shot and in focus.

Here are a few from tonight.

What do you think? Any tips

October Favourites 2014

October Favourites:

Yet another month has flown by. In October I had been keeping myself to myself and loving easy home comforts. Keeping warm and wrapped up, loving simple surroundings.

Bath: I am still loving my lush the comforter bath bar. This month I have had an excama breakout. Therefore using the comforter and my prescribed medication. My skin is slowly healing and is feeling nourished in the process.

Food: The slow cooker is working wonders, simply throw in everything in a morning and leave on. Therefore a yummy smelling house and about 3 days worth of food sat waiting for you. Recently I have been making, a spanish style chicken stew. With chicken, chorizo and tomatoes. This is a very yummy warming dish. Costing about £6 but giving 4 big portions from one pot. Best to tub up and freeze for extra meals.

Life: I have just become a PartyLite Consultant. I went into this not planning on going out to the parties and being and online only consultant. With my knowledge of social media and blogging. I have had some success with this and it is early days. However I have had my eyes opened to the world of the parties. It is a good place for me to get out of the house for a few hours, have some me time, and be surrounded by yummy scented candles. If you wanted to know more information have a look at my website: www.NicolaWatson.partylite.co.uk I love candles, and now is a good opportunity to do something for me and sell them and make some pocket money in the process. 

Work: This is the quiet season for Photography, I am working hard on my website and the back end systems to hopefully help kick start a great 2015 and get plenty of bookings in the diary. I love wedding photography, I hope one day I can do this full time. However right now I just wish I could do it more often.

Friends: This month I have been in contact with a few friends who I may not have seen or spoken to in a while. I am very appreciative of the support I have gained, especially over the phone. It is amazing how a simple text message can help brighten your day if you are feeling lousy. I want to make a conscious effort to contact all of the true friends in my phonebook at least once a week. 

This month I have really understood this quote:

I feel that November is going to be a big month for me. (the first week has already seen a massive change - I will share this at some point) I just want to work on myself, get my mind and body healthy and work towards being the best I can be, in all aspects of my life.

What have you been loving?
