Roxy at the Custard Factory
For those who haven’t been to the Custard Factory it’s a quirky place in the heart of Birmingham. It seems to be a home for creatives and has some great shops, cafes and bars, as well as a rather fun and funky room we had the use of for the afternoon. I had already worked [...]
Mentoring day with McGillicuddy
Monday was my regular MMOS day and it was especially interesting. After the usual morning critiques and discussion on our progress as both photographer and businesses we got ready for our practical portion of the day. Damian announced rather than being in the studio, we were heading out to one of his favourite local locations [...]
Home portrait session with Loretta
Loretta has been a friend for many years now and we have had quite a few photoshoots together. Loretta is an actress/dancer/singer and all round talented girl. I am sure you will agree she is also very beautiful. This shoot was very simple and done in less than 30 minutes, with just 2 small portable [...]
Alex – bespoke portraits on location
Some lovely natural portrait of Alex, who was the girlfriend of one of the band members at the Sansara band shoot. There isn’t much to say, the photos speak for themselves. She has a wonderful look and despite it being her first time ever having a professional photoshoot she took to it really well and [...]
Birmingham Custard Factory Photoshoot
Recent shoot at the Custard Factory Birmingham. Recently headed out to shoot a few images again this time in the heart of the West Midlands. As always I like to use whatever is available, and the skill of shooting on location is turning anything into a good photograph. A dingy corridor with terrible carpet is [...]
Bespoke photoshoot in the bluebells
Good Friday for many was a day off, but not one to miss an opportunity I headed down to the New Forest to meet with a few fellow SWPP photographers to shoot in the bluebells. Special thanks to Tracy Willis for sharing her amazing methods of setting up newborn baby portraits. We had a good [...]
Karolina (photoshoot in Birmingham)
A follow on post from the March shoot at the Mailbox in Birmingham. The second young lady there for our portraits was Karolina, a lovely young lady from Poland. Karolina had never posed for photographs before so it was a new experience for her. Happy to report that Karolina was a joy work with and [...]
First shoot of Spring: Roxana at the Mailbox Birmingham
Winter has been nice and quiet photography wise, and that was great. It was good to take a break refresh my creative batteries and ponder all that I had achieved and worked on in 2010. Although I have done a couple of small shoots, January and February have been intentionally clear of jobs, and when [...]
Lisa bespoke portrait photo shoot in Coventry
A just for fun shoot with my friend Lisa around Coventry, including some shots we wanted to try with a car. The plan was to come up with something bespoke, unique to Lisa that I hadn’t done before. We took a couple of speedlites and a camera and went for a wander around Coventry city [...]
Asian Beauty Portraits with makeup artist Sidra Parveen.
Saturday was another great shoot for Bridge-Wilkinson Photography working with talented midlands makeup artist Sidra Parveen. We were working with model Pav D to create portfolio work of Sidra’s wonderful asian makeup. We used a tiny studio at the Custard factory but even with limited access we still got some stunning photographs. Utilising just two speedlites and skyports we achieve many [...]
Shoot report – Sarah Redshaw
I recently had the pleasure of working with Sarah Redshaw, a lovely young lady who is comfortable both sides of the lens. Sarah had requested my services to capture a variety of different looks. After working hard in the gym, Sarah was keen to preserve her hard work in photographs to record her achievement. We [...]
Midland Strobists Mailbox shoot
Sunday saw a shoot with the midland strobists at Birmingham’s mailbox in office space there. It was the largest shoot for quite sometime and we had three make up artists in attendance. These shots show makeup from Karla Powell and Grace Coole-Green. The second shot of Lisa has no makeup at all. Lighting was with [...]
Natural Light Portrait – Shooting in the dark
I recently took this portrait of beautiful model Tara Kaur. Tara is an up and coming model and I am sure you agree stunning. The makeup was applied by the talented and equally beautiful Karla Powell, who gave me this fantastic look, which gives it that almost painted feel. Modern cameras are quite amazing devices, [...]

Lisa – portrait photography at home
A planned photo shoot, intended for Coombe Park, Coventry, the model was the lovely Lisa.
Jen and a new camera
I had contact from a charming young dancer/singer/actress in Coventry who wanted some portraits taken. Although we didnt have a lot of time, the sun made an appearance on the day and we didnt need any lighting. Jen was a natural and really understood photographers, which made the job easier. The light was lovely and [...]
Happy New Year – 2010
2010 is upon us already, it seems the years get faster and faster. I am now coming upto my third year of photography. It’s almost unbelievable to me that I have been only taking photos for such a short time. It feels like such an important part of my life now I can’t remember [...]
Week 2 of 52
Week 2 has arrived and I find myself hugely motivated and inspired for the first time in a long time. Not only that but I find myself dare i say it, happy with my work. I have had some frustrations with some jobs, both as favours which has proven more complex than I had ever [...]
Midland Strobists – Warwick Shoot
Sunday was the first Midlands Strobists meet in a while. The size of the recent shoots and a low model turn out has been an issue. It was decided that we would take on smaller venues and smaller numbers. Sunday was at the rather lovely Guy Cliffe House, in Warwick. Sadly only 3 models turned [...]
Licentiateship Society of wedding and portrait photography
I am pleased to announce that I was awarded with licenciateship with the SWPP recently following a submission panel. This means that the SWPP panel of expert judges consider my work to be of a competant and professional level. Certainly a pleasant surprise considering I only submitted a panel for mentoring. The image is [...]
Midlands Strobists – Meet 11
It was the 11th Midlands Strobist Meet, held at Loughborough University. A good site with some good buildings and grounds. Turnout was a little low, probably due to Fathers day. The drop out on models was pretty poor again, even more so than normal. Fortunately those that were there, helped the photographers get some good shots. [...]
