About Me

My photo
I specialise in photographing moments of tenderness so I tend not to do posed portraiture and instead prefer to work unobtrusively at family gatherings

An example of one of my wedding books

Like my christening books, the book cover can be leather, silk or buckram. In the cover below, the album cover is leather and has a debossed image.



Pages can contain one image that 'bleeds' (goes to the edge of the page) like this:


Or this:



Sometimes a large border suits the image:


When dealing with family shots, they can be a little repetitive so it makes sense to make a pattern out of the repetition:


When considering double spreads, it's a good idea to have the left page relating to the right page.




It's fun to have a large 'lead' photo with smaller detail shots on the left



Finally, toning can bring out the mood in the photo: on the page below, the toned image has been placed to signify the end of the formal portrait session - the next page introduces the reception.
