Hi guys,
long time no post! I moved back down to sunny (raining) Wales and was taking some time off photography to teach. I've started shooting again and here's the results :)
I'm still working on fairytale style photography heavily influenced by the poetry and novels I'm reading which are mostly set in Historical periods.
I use a k-5 and a 50mm 1.4 and no extra lighting when outside except a reflector when i remember one...which isn't often as i lose stuff!
Do enjoy and feel free to ask any question regarding techniques or photshop.

So in the last week I've been playing with my 50mm lens and some smoke bombs and a fairly pagan theme.
If you pop by my facebook page ( Charis Talbot) you can see full credits
I'm so happy the weather is out! If anyone would like me to write more about set up/post processing etc please let me know.

Some are with a flash and soft box and some are with a fluorescent ring. Model is Laura.

Really enjoying this lens! Pics achieved using a hair dryer and a bed sheet background. Wet glass was just a piece of glass from a broken flame with some water on.

Post processing; Frequency separation and adjustment layers (mainly curves)

Sharpness isn't a problem it is exactly what I need in fact :) My frustration has been in high end beauty shoots i haven't had the clarity I wanted. I was thinknig of the 77mm actually- you've brought it back into the mix :D

Hi,
I'm a portrait photographer doing everything from fashion to beauty close ups to weddings and pet portraits. I have recently recieved a grant from the princes trust to put towards my photography business and I want to purchase new lenses. I'm torn between the Pentax 100mm and the Tamron 90mm. I was leaning towards the Pentax because my tamron zoom lens doesn't have great autofocus (i have to use fine tune AF on my K-5) especially when shooting full length portraits. However after reading reviews I'm not sure which way to lean.

I have a Pentax-a 50mm which I love but I wanted to get the AF version but once more I'm unsure as to whether I ought to get the 35mm/30mm lens...

Any help or comment would be much appreciated! Especially links to examples. I've read a few reviews but it's jumbled my brain even more!

I don't tend to shoot nudes but I thought i'd do a few with my friend and model Frankii Wilde.
Please don't comment about the ribs- I'm a size 14 and mine look the same under the light too. She does eat and work out!

Occasionally i get my stylist and a model friend to take a day off and have 'creative' day when we just mess around with new make up and hair looks and drink lots of tea and gossip. Occasionally we take a few photos too.
Studio pic done using a beauty dish (i will be blogging a photoshop tutorial how to get the pale white skin soon) and shooting at 7.1 1/125
outdoor pics shooting at 2.8 with fast shutter speed.

for these pics i used an old pentax-A 28-80mm i got for £10 in a charity shop. Frustrating because manually focusing in studio can be hard but it's all i had to work with. and thank you very much :)

Soooo,
I was recently published in dark Beauty Magazine which is an international publication (yay me) and funnily enough they used older images that i took on my K-r. I now use a K-5 and although I'd much prefer to have better more 'pro' equipment i seem to be doing well without it.
Anyway enjoy some pics from your first female Pentaxian's first international print publication.

I have a blog and I've been asked to run a series of posts of FAQs and general questions. If any of you fancy picking my brain just ask me a question as a comment and i'll include it in my blog post. Feel free to keep checking- i should have the first two blog posts done by friday.

I'm a fashion photographer and I use a K-5. If you want to ask about techniques, models, photoshop, tax returns, teaching, life, the universe etc feel free.
