LOUIS’S COMMENT
We walked through
to a wooded area of
Waterperry Gardens which
was more shaded and gave us
more even lighting. I saw
Catherine had a small white chair in her props
bag so we decided to get that out and have Max
sit on it. This was also a good opportunity for
the kids to have a rummage through the props
bag to keep them interested. They both went
straight for the colourful ukulele’s and we
completed the look by giving them
each a straw hat.

TOP GEAR #
85mm f/1.8 USM
WITH a longer focal length
compared to Catherine’s 50mm,
her 85mm lens is better suited
to tighter head and shoulders
portraits, or for shooting from
farther away. It has a slightly
less wide maximum aperture
value of f/1.8, but this short
telephoto focal length helps to
compress scenes better
- meaning it’s easier to get the
appearance of a shallow
depth-of-field.
MOTHER & DAUGHTER
I JUST adore this photo, it was
taken just before dusk on a
warm summer’s evening. It’s a
lovely quiet little moment
between the two of them.

BEACH LIFE FAMILY
I SHOT a session for this lovely
family in Cornwall; this image was
taken early in the morning at
Crantock Beach, which is
absolutely gorgeous.
BOY & DOG
THIS IS a personal favourite of
mine, it’s of my son Leo, and our
dog, we went for a walk one
evening and this moment
captures their special bond.
