Summer - Part 2

Next up I switched locations (and counties) heading off to Oulton Broad and, more specifically, Nicholas Everitt Park for a shoot with another returning customer. (there's a bit of a theme building here..) This shoot was a casualty of rain a week earlier, but eventually we met up to update the family album.



You really can't win with the weather. After suffering strong breezes and grey skies for much of July, this shoot rewarded me with unbroken skies and strong, low sunshine, meaning there was a bit of rethinking and reworking of positioning the subjects at times.




The brief was 'one or two' shots of the whole family, with a majority of the shoot to concentrate on the children. No problem, quite a common request. Not often do the parents want to be centre stage, or even on stage at all. Working with children can be 'interesting' at times, often unpredictable, but honestly is the most rewarding aspect of this job. Bringing their various characters out in the photos gives me the biggest buzz, and, in a way, is fairly straight forward, especially with the younger ones. There is no pretence, or concerns about self-image, what you see is what you get.
