Hello,

After a busy week with the update of the website and the continued transformation of 'hobbyist' to 'full-time professional' photographer I had a couple of photo assignments to do.

Firstly I went to Coleraine Gaelic Club to shoot a set of portraits for an upcoming fundraising event. I went with a previsualised idea, shooting with three lights, 2 with beauty dishes and 1 bare light for a catchlight. It is for a boxing event so the poses had to be in a boxing stance and the portraits had to look similar for the events' marketing material.

Later on that day I had a family portrait shoot on location, always a challenge as you dont know exactly how the location will look but as a wedding photographer I'm used to challenges and finding the best poses is what I love doing.

Until next time.

James Hislop
