Father and daughter – December’s Photo of the Month

As we come to the end of 2022, I reflect on the year, like most of us. So, I’m restarting a new series of images. This photograph is very dear to me. I’m always drawn to these two subjects: Fathers and their daughters. Because I’m a dad, too, I cannot believe my girls have grown…

image-of-the-week-4 – play with shadows and silhouettes

In this week’s image of the week, I love shooting indoor weddings. I use available light, working with shadow and light. It’s always a rewarding challenge to use whatever light is spilling onto the dance floor, be it the DJ’s LED’s where I have to shoot into them to avoid the odd colors cast on…

Decisive moment – Image of the week 11 – Philip Thomas

I love what I do for a living. For over 25 years, I’ve been fascinated with the ‘Decisive Moment.’ My style of photography is primarily based on this concept and what I look for to tell a story in one image. The ‘Decisive Moment’ is the idea that Henri Cartier-Bresson spoke of when all the…

Layering images – Image of the week 10

This weeks it’s all about layering! Stuck inside during COVID-19 lockdown, I thought I would have so much time to shoot mini-projects. But in reality, I’ve been busier juggling kids, online school, cooking, and everyday household chores; time is getting away from me. Plus, um, making those homemade Old Fashioned’s. Yum! Actually, no, I don’t…
