Some of my favourite pictures

Winnie the Pooh Camera: Nikon D300 with Sigma 18.0-50.0 mm f/2.8 lens Exposure: 1/2s f/14 ISO-100 Tripod This shot was taken as part of a course I was doing. The brief was to take an object and try to picture how you wopuld portray it. I chose this figure of Winnie the Pooh and decided it would be fun to portray him as a rather sinister figure.

Emma Camera: Nikon D300 with Sigma 18.0-50.0 mm f/2.8 lens Exposure: 1/2s f/2.8 ISO-400 Tripod This shot was taken as part of a course I was doing.

I took inspiration from the work of Georges de La Tour and in particular a painting called The Young Singer (c. 1650) The model is my toung niece Emma who was brilliant!
