The Odeon Tunbridge Wells opens new restaurant

Recently opened, the new restaurant Chroma situated on the mezzanine floor of the Odeon Tunbridge Wells offers gourmet pizza and Italian cuisine, all made from locally sourced fresh ingredients.

Commercial photography often has its bonuses and this one was a 3 course meal on the house while I waited for the sun to go down for the night time shots.

Bridal gown shoot

Thanks to Emma Tindley, East Grinstead based designer of beautiful Bridal Gowns. What a beautiful collection!
The shoot took place at The Salomon centre, Southborough, near Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and as can be seen the weather treated us well.

Typically for a shoot like this I would use the Hasselblad tethered to a Mac Book Pro, but for this one I wanted simplicity and freedom to move quickly. I've recently procured a new backup camera (Canon EOS 5D) and so I thought I'd test it out and was pleased with its handling. Focusing was at times tricky and slower than my usual the EOS1D MkIV but it's a great little piece of kit.

Model portfolio - No Photoshopping involved!

Getting it right in camera!
Most people have commented on 'The Photoshopping' in the below image. But they are surprised when I tell them that the image never went near Photoshop! It's all about lighting and getting the image as right as possible 'in camera' for the best possible image quality.
After importing the image set into Lightroom, this particular one was virtually untouched.
