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 [...]

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.

Kaylana Portrait
This portrait was taken at Kenilworth castle, whilst showing a friend how to get the most from her new camera. I am sure you will agree she is rather beautiful. With a reflector and some work in photoshop, I am rather fond of this final shot of Kaylana. Thanks for dropping by. Matt Bridge-Wilkinson
