REVEAL Scotland Part 2

So after much wailing and gnashing of teeth I got my shortlist down to six. Well, actually ten.

I opted for a mixture of images combining some detailed mono portraits, a couple of the mini-muse shots in the blog post from a few days ago, and some of the shots I've done with models I've worked with over the last couple of years, each with their own story behind them.

It kinda surprised me that I haven't actually had that much time as a photographer. I bought my first DSLR in September 2009 and it was January 2010 when my back went. In that time I had images published in magazines and a photography book, as well as showcased on a few different websites. Not a bad start, I guess!

Since then it's been a lot of breaks between shoots. I had to take most of 2010 off due to my back, and since then I've had to learn a lot about how to shoot with a disability. It's not like I can just power through anymore, or shoot for four hours straight. I'm just not physically capable. I have to shoot 'smarter'.

Anyway, this post is veering wildly off topic, so I'll get back on it. 

I've attached a couple of images to this post that I've included in the selection for Jamie. The first is of a family friend, Stevie. He has what I call a 'character face', and I shot this at a party in his back garden. The second image is of a Club DJ known as 'Honky-Shuffle', a friend of a friend I was visiting. 

I really love black and white character portraits. Why will be another blog post though. Can't go veering off topic twice in one blog, can I?
