Gulf Photo Plus

Today I've been on a course taking portraits using natural light at Gulf Photo Plus 2008, with the American photographer Bobbi Lane. I had a great time and learnt a lot - not least of which was lot of the funny buttons on my camera do.

It was supposed to be for 'confident beginners', but it was clear that many of the attendees were professional photographers. This made me a little nervous to start, but it was OK as we got going. In the morning I was in a group with a couple of Russian girls. Olga, model turned photographer, was great and really knew how to get the best out of the model. The afternoon wasn't as good, I was in a different group, and we didn't really hit it off with the models.

Anyway, a few of the best pics I took are below. There is another part to the course on Thursday evening when I learn how to improve them in Photoshop.












I don't like any of them as much as this one taken of Ben in the bath last week though.
