Another from me, shot on the backup camera d700 with the 85mm 1.4 attached, probably brakes every rule wedding photographers try to stick to with regards to highlights etc..I am loving being creative at the minute!

There is some stunning work up in here at the minute, keep up the work people. Also are people also displaying their work on FB pages etc ?

Scrooge · Jun 3, 2014

I like that, something different from the norm!

Hope my wedding pictures come out as good as the ones you're doing, my photographer seems pretty s**t hot so fingers crossed!

Ay Ay Ron · Jun 3, 2014

I like that Matt. Something different which is good to see with wedding photography.

I've set up a Facebook page but don't do much on it at the moment. Really need to sort out online stuff.

Matt_90 · Jun 3, 2014

Cheers chaps, I follow a lot of US based togs who do very different styles to most of the uk photographers so I am just trying to push the boundaries with different styles and separate myself from the rest.

I do a lot on Facebook, but have only really pushed it over the last month or so, its difficult to keep the content added but you can gain work through social media.
Scrooge who have you booked? Its a minefield out there, I am sure you will be super happy with whoever you have chosen.

Scrooge · Jun 3, 2014

It's a friend of the wench's Dad, he's retired but been doing it for years. Has no online porfolio

apparently he has far too much work coming in and what with the prints he has no time to do uploads and stuff. Seeing his work though I was very impressed, likes to try new things too, which was a surprise. Seems incredibly prepared and thorough too. Can't wait to see his results!

Niall · Jun 3, 2014

Just shoot in whatever style you want, Matt. Photography is subjective after all. I tend to find some people’s style on Talk Photography and suchlike a bit ‘safe’ and conservative, if the image has any distortion or sun flare, or anything relatively edgy they say it’s terrible.

As for Facebook pages and suchlike, my social media pages can be all found at the bottom of the home page - http://niallleaphotography.co.uk

I do to try and shoot in whatever style I want or can I love being creative and thats the reason I love photography, I am think of silly ways in which I can make a photo different. I hate following what other people say and playing it safe, I stay away from talk photography for that reason and have done for many years. If you don't dare to be different and think out side of the box then what separates you from anyone else!!

Your site has got some great work on it, I wish I was shooting stuff like you are when I was 16, i only picked up a camera when I was 18.

Exactly, I think it really ruins an otherwise fantastic forum. I prefer this photography section on here in terms of the people etc, just on there it’s way more extensive.

I gave it a like the other day, loving the recent work!

Cheers man, hopefully I’ll be progressing a bit faster after leaving school tomorrow, I should have a lot more freedom which will open doors for me.

jesus your good with a camera! haha

Brazo · Jun 3, 2014

That is a lovely shot Matt it's warm and fuzzy and shows emotion etc, it's not a sterile razor sharp boring portrait and it's all the better for it. Niall, I too find people on TP very stifled with the technical side and literally only happy to shoot very safe done to death scenes.

Dan... · Jun 3, 2014

I've just given you a like on Facebook Matt - Your work is fantastic.

I keep posting in here because I like the crowd of people, there really are some skilled photographers on this forum.

v15ben · Jun 3, 2014

Another like here and some really great photos on there, Matt!

I've barely taken any photos in months.
Keep following the thread to see the work of others and there really are some great shots on a variety of subjects.

You must be good at photography if you manage to make liverpool look as beautiful as that

. Both very good pics.

Ay Ay Ron · Jun 6, 2014

Lovely shots Niall. I should have gone out last night myself instead of staying in the garden.

Matt_90 · Jun 6, 2014

Aaron that cat shot is awesome, I don't even like cats that much but that would make an awesome PC background.

Niall, they are crackers, love the colour in the second one!

Cheers @Raid, I have been following your page for quite a while now

Niall · Jun 6, 2014

Cheers, guys

v15ben · Jun 7, 2014

Really like the Liverpool shots, Niall.
Are you going to the Gumball event in Manchester tomorrow?

One from me taken at a 1940s weekend locally at the end of May.

Unfortunately not, I’m at the BTCC at Oulton Park. Would have been good to have a chat

v15ben · Jun 7, 2014

Yep!
Hope this awful weather sorts itself out for tomorrow.

JamieG95 · Jun 7, 2014

Been working on some behind the scenes stuff lately, quite an interesting few days work!

One from the Gumball event in Manchester today.
There is a Clio in there somewhere.

JamieG95 · Jun 8, 2014

Missed that F40 today, was looking forward to seeing it!

Nipped into Regent street to catch all the cars arriving!

Lal B3N · Jun 9, 2014

Pooch!

v15ben · Jun 9, 2014

The F40 was with Supercar Driver rather than Gumball and I think the driver is local so didn't head down to London.
Love the shot of the DB5, such a fantastic car!
