HYBRID – COMBINE TWO OR MORE ELEMENTS TO PRODUCE A BETTER SOLUTION We’re entering a new era in photography and video. For high quality results there have been SLRs but now there are Mirrorless cameras that produce great quality and in a much smaller and portable package. And whilst it’s nothing new, there appears to be a surge of enthusiasm for taking natural ambient light photos for professional work as well as the studio flash setups. So you can perhaps see that the potential to get the ultimate quality, often requires a mix or blend of using the best-suited tools and resources for the job in hand. Here at our studio in Grantham in the UK, we mix the best tools for producing great photo and video results using the latest Nikon DSLRs, Fuji mirrorless camera and the professional’s choice of video camera in a compact form, the Panasonic Lumic GH3. AND not only that, our studio mixes the conventional studio flash and background setup with some rooms that have fantastic natural light. So we’ve got it all.

The more I look, the more I certainly find what I like. I’ve always loved looking through the work of photographers whose work I particularly admire.

Well, the Clothes Show is over for another year, I just love going along to the show at the NEC and feeling part of the scene, taking photos, but more importantly getting ideas for my forthcoming shoots. There were many stalls selling t-shirts and more grungy stuff, but that wasn’t really what I was looking for. Also whilst there were a number of vintage and retro clothing shops on display they were mostly unfortunately at very modern prices ie. too expensive. There was one stall that really took my eye though and that was Lily.J from Camden in London and I think I’ll do another chat post about my thoughts on that. So what’s next after the Clothes Show then, well it’s got to be London Fashion Week in Feb 2013 so I’d better get my thoughts together on that and get something organised.
