It’s been a busy few weeks between First Holy Communions, Confirmations and a lot of Commercial work. I was recently back in APC Physiotherapy and Sports Clinic. A great team who really know their stuff and had everything ready for a great shoot. Hopefully you’ll be seeing new pics on their web and socials soon.
Mirrors are my nemesis. Usually it’s just the odd mirror over a fireplace and I need to make sure that neither am I in it nor does the bounce off my flash make it look weirdly bright.
