Thor Battle Video Shoot Posed Photos


You might've seen one of my earlier posts with some of my favourite Behind the Scenes photos from the set of Team Beard Films latest fan film inspired by (the then upcoming) Thor Ragnarok. 

While I mainly shot Behind the Scenes photos as the priority was to finishing shooting before we lost the light, I did get the chance to shoot some posed photos throughout the day. 

I managed to snap a few shots of James A.K.A God of Thunder, Dennis, who was portraying an archer who had a swordfight with Loki and Chris who was the The God of Mischief in question. Admittadely it was mainly Chris because I know him more than the other guys and because he loves getting his photo taken. He really gets into charachter when he's in costume!

I'm really pleased with how these turned out especially as it was quite rushed and really cool in the Yorkshire Moors. But now that I've seen the film several times, I really want to try and organise another shoot and possibly recreate the Mjonir breaking scene in Norway. 

What do you guys think?
Should I try it?

Unleashed Gateshead Comic Con April 2018


Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while but I've had a few family issues to deal with lately and it slipped my mind. Too make it up to you I've posted some of my favourite photos from the latest convention I photographed: Team Unleashed's Gateshead Comic Con at The Lancastrian Suite in Dunston.

Unfortunately, the main hall was very crowded and dark so I decided to avoid taking photos in their and instead focused on shooting on the top floor and outside. I even managed to find a loading bay on the outside of a nearby factory that I used as a background for a few Psylocke photos and some trees that I used for Captain Jack and Mr Gibbs.

This was probably the most hectic con I've shot at for quite a while, because it was so busy and there wasn't a lot of places to get photos but I enjoyed it and think I got some cool shots. 

 I usually prefer to go to conventions to meet cosplayers and organise solo shoots with them rather than try to get amazing photos at the conventions because they are usually too unplanned and chaotic for my liking. 

Luckily,  I meet some fantastic cosplayers and I'm already discussing ideas for shoots with some of my favourites. I'm looking forward to my next convention but I'm not sure which one that will be yet.

As usual, I shot using my Nikon D610 with a 18-85mm lens and SB-700 speed light with a portable softbox. My settings were 1/125 shutter speed and aperture f/5 and I increased my ISO to lighten the background depending on where I was shooting.
