Paul first got into photography just before University when he had an old 35mm SLR camera with a few lenses, at this stage it was just a hobby. It wasn’t until Paul went across to digital photography just over 4 years ago that he started to get serious. It was immediately apparant the digital suited Paul’s style and his artistic eye. The ability to shoot hundreds of photos in a single session allowed Paul the freedom and experimentation that film never allowed.
Paul’s experience in graphic design allows him to visualise shots that a lot of people can’t see. His fast shooting style also suits the candid style photographs that really capture true emotion. The flexibility of Paul’s camera also allows him to take shots that many cameras wouldn’t be able to manage.

Overall Paul’s style can be best described as fast, free, enthusiastic and experienced. Paul doesn’t worry about how a photo ‘should’ be taken, instead concentrating on getting the best possible photograph by whatever means possible.

Russell has studied photography for many years and was originally trained using a 35mm SLR camera. He started off taking pictures for fun, but the more qualifications and experience he gained he realised that not only did he have a deep passion for photography but the quality of his work was raising eyebrows with friends/family and professionals alike. Russell’s style is more old school,he tends to work slower than Paul and often uses a tripod to ensure he is achieving the right compostion and the shot is framed to perfection.

Russell made the switch to digital about 2 years ago and his current camera possess most, if not all of the functions that his 35mm SLR contained. The mixture of digital and SLR functions enables Russell to take stunning traditional and candid photo’s but having the ability to work quickly in the digital darkroom to enable the customer to have 100% satisfaction.
